Justin Bieber’s new album is set to be “Christian appropriate”, to reflect his new found "spirituality".

The 24-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter is currently working on his fifth studio album and is reportedly set to go in a different direction.

Bieber is also reportedly on the lookout for Christian-centric songs after reconnecting with his faith through the Hillsong Church.

A source told The Sun: “Justin is on the lookout for songs which really reflect where he is in his life in terms of spirituality.

“He has always been religious but the last two years have seen him grow closer to the Hillsong Church and it has changed his entire life. He has a totally different outlook now.

“After he finished his last tour he really wasn’t interested in recording any music for a while.

“But his time with the church has revitalised him and although he is working with a lot of the same people who helped to make his last album, Purpose, he is reshaping his sound so it is more in line with the church’s values and beliefs.

“There are key themes of love and redemption in the tracks he has ­created so far. It will certainly ­surprise some fans.”

Bieber is thought to have recently split from on/off girlfriend Selena Gomez again, after the pair reconciled at the beginning of the year.

A source told E! news: "It wasn't his choice for them to split, and he is really taking time to focus on himself right now. He has been working out every day, focusing on church and being out and about with his friends."
