Justin Bieber has opened up on the role Europe played in shaping the sound of his new album.

The popular singer is releasing 'Believe' around the world and he told the Metro that he channelled European cities in the album's recording.

Bieber said that he took home some dubstep influence from London and also took inspiration from some Paris producers to "get that European feel". He said:

"I wanted to add a bit of dubstep after coming over to London and on some songs I worked with producers from Paris, to get that European feel."

However, it is not all Eurocentric, with American producers giving 'Believe' a US feel too. He continued:

"I also worked with writers from America. I was using both sides, so we could make worldy songs."
