"I am excited to be partnering with [Hipgnosis founder and CEO Merck Mercuriadis]," Justin said in a statement, before going on to say that: "He values artists and their creative work and has always been a strong supporter of songwriters and storytelling."
Though it is unclear what this means for him as far as upcoming music plans – or if he is considering retiring from music entirely – he maintained that: "I look forward to entering this next chapter."
What's more, the deal goes beyond his music catalog, and also includes owning Justin's very own copyright, as well as "ownership and the financial interests of the writer and publisher's share of the star's public performance income going forward," according to E! News.

Hipgnosis Song Management also partly owns some of both Shakira and Neil Young's song catalogs, the latter of which has been revolutionizing the music industry by making other decisions such as removing all of his songs from Spotify amid their ongoing support for Joe Rogan.
