Justin Bieber and Usher will extend their working relationship, once again teaming up to record a new song to be included on Bieber’s upcoming full length album “Believe”. The two previously worked together on Bieber’s Christmas record ‘Under the Mistletoe’.

Usher tweeted a message to his followers about his excitement over recording with Justin once again.

“Just left the studio with lil bro…soundin good. URIV I’m headed out tonight…the homie Diplo is spinnin’ at Echo Plex…Let’s go! URIV”

Not long after, the message was re-tweeted by Bieber.

The current buzz is that “Believe” could be Justin Bieber’s most successful album yet. Even Justin’s manager, Scooter Braun, says this new album is unlike anything he’s ever done before.

Ludacris tells Billboard.com that his eighth studio album, “Ludaversal,” is on track for a May release, and that the highly anticipated full-length will feature a familiar collaborator.

“Usher is one person that I’ve already worked with,” says Ludacris, “and in terms of other artists, you can say that there’s going to be a lot of surprises on here.” Ludacris and Usher previously collaborated on the latter’s smash single “Yeah!,” which featured Lil’ Jon and topped the Hot 100 for 12 weeks in 2004, as well as Lil’ Jon’s “Lovers and Friends,” which peaked at No. 3 on the chart.

The follow-up to 2010′s “Battle of the Sexes” is still “in the beginning stages” for the Atlanta rapper, who tided fans over by releasing the mixtape “1.21 Gigawatts: Back To The First Time” in November. “I get the beats together and I put out my ideas, so I’d say we’re maybe about 40 percent done,” says the rapper (real name: Chris Bridges) about his forthcoming album. Last year, he confirmed to Billboard.com that the Neptunes, who produced his past hits “Southern Hospitality” and “Money Maker,” contributed to his latest effort. “I’ve pretty much collected about 80 percent of the beats that I need and I’ve started writing ideas on them. First I have to love the beat, absolutely love it.”

Usher is hard at work on his next album. Set to work with fellow hitmaker Taio Cruz, the two already cooked up some magic with their David Guetta anthem “Without You,” and it seems they are hoping to recapture that spirit for Usher’s follow-up to 2010′s Raymond v. Raymond.

“I saw Usher a few times, but I spoke to him at length at David [Guetta]‘s house when we were in Ibiza [Spain],” he told MTV News in L.A. after his Jingle Ball set. “He has very specific ideas of where he wants to go musically and sound-wise.”

Given that Usher has never shied away from exposing a bit of himself in his music, while also keeping the party going, Cruz wants to make sure they can connect the mind, body and soul for this next release. “He always wants there to be the soul in there,” he explained. “I’m kind of, not the opposite, but I’m always like, ‘Let’s get straight to the point and be really clear with the message and be simple.’

“So we try to match those two worlds together: being soulful and, at the same time, catchy,” he added.

Cruz can’t yet discuss what they’re working on: Besides “Without You,” he said, “Everything else is secret.”
