Back in May, Austin Mahone released his debut EP Secrets, which he is currently promoting on tour. Now he has revealed plans for an early 2015 release of his first full-length album. In an interview with Billboard, he said that he is excited to be headed to Miami to work on the effort after a string of Brazil tour dates in October.
Mahone is working with Swedish producer Max Martin on the effort, which he says will feature "a lot of different styles. I'm probably gonna stick with pop for the most part, but I'm gonna jump out to a little more EDM, maybe some R&B, different stuff like that."
"Til I Find You" is one song that Mahone has locked down. He says it "has a real EDM kind of Backstreet Boys feel. The beat hits really hard. It's got some futuristic sounds in there, so it's gonna take you on a journey if you listen to it."
Mahone says his EP, which features the Pitbull collaboration "Mmm Yeah," gives listeners an idea of what's to come but isn't a complete picture.
"The Secret was kind of like a little side project, basically," he explains. "I was putting it out just to get some more material out there, 'cause I just had a few songs out at the time. I wanted to get more music out, and the style I was going for was more of that NSYNC, Backstreet Boys vibe, 'cause I knew a lot of the older girls like that, so I wanted to get some older fans as well. So I just put that out there for everyone and I definitely get a lot more people who have tweeted me and Facebooked me saying, 'I've become an Austin Mahone fan now. I see he's trying new styles and new things.'"
Mahone also spoke to them about plans for his future, which includes more acting. Read the full article here.
