Usher says Justin Bieber's new material is "sounding good".
The R&B star tweeted his approval following a studio session with the teenage pop sensation.
The music producer famously discovered the Baby singer in 2008 and has been working with him on his next offering.
"Just left the studio with lil bro... soundin good. URIV [sic]," he wrote on the social networking site.
Justin also took to Twitter to discuss his upcoming musical offering.
The 18-year-old star seemed pleased with his recording session and paid tribute to his musical icon, the late Michael Jackson.
"a lot of good people in the studio tonight. been working hard. tomorrow morning #MjForever [sic]," he wrote.
Justin was joined at the studio by Australian singer Cody Simpson. The 14-year-old has been romantically linked to Kylie Jenner but has a massive female fan base nonetheless.
Cody revealed plans to collaborate with Justin.
"chilled with the mate @justinbieber in the studio tonight. look for some great records coming. #AustraliaToCanada #CoastToCoast [sic]," he tweeted.
