New Justin Bieber song will take its cue from NKOTB

Grammy Award-winning record producer Jim Jonsin has big plans for Justin Bieber when the pair hit the studio – including a track inspired by New Kids on the Block, reports MTV.

"I want to try to do something like that – Please Don’t Go Girl, New Kids on the Block – because the girls would go crazy," explained Jonsin. "Maybe not that song, but something that feels like that: little bit of soul, R&B, but pop as well."

Please Don’t Go Girl – written by Maurice Starr – was NKOTB’s first commercial hit. Released in 1988 on their second album, Hangin’ Tough, the track is actually four years older than the teen pop star.

Jonsin also plans to channel the sound of ’80s tween band New Edition during his recording time with Bieber.

The singer’s studio time won’t just be based on the era of acid wash jeans, however. Jonsin says he’ll also draw inspiration from R&B artist Kelly Rowland.

"I’d love to put him on something like that Motivation type of track," added Jonsin. "Just a hard beat that he could sing something super slick [on]."

Jonsin has collaborated with a number of major artists over the course of his career, including Beyoncé, Kanye West and Eminem. In 2006, he founded Rebel Rock Entertainment, the label responsible for launching American rapper B.o.B. to stardom.
