Dijon recently began his tour in support of Baby, his very good new album from this summer. A few lifetimes ago, Justin Bieber, too, released some star-making music called “Baby.” Now Dijon and Justin Bieber are collaborators and I think that’s beautiful. For his own new albums SWAG and SWAG II, Bieber clearly took a lot of inspiration from Dijon, enlisting the ascendant R&B star as a co-producer and co-writer on some tracks. One of those tracks is SWAG highlight “Yukon,” and although it’s Bieber’s tune, Dijon performed it himself live for the first time at his Portland concert last night.
