B.o.B: 'New album will surprise fans'

B.o.B has promised fans that they will be surprised by some of the music he is working on for his next album.

The rapper, who released his debut album The Adventures of Bobby Ray last year, claimed that he doesn't like to get complacent with his work and intends to push the boundaries for his new record.

"I think people will definitely be surprised at the music they hear on the second album," B.o.B told MTV News this weekend. "I don't think they would expect that coming from me."

Although a release date for his sophomore offering has yet to be confirmed, B.o.B reassured fans that he will be back with some new material very soon.

"Even if not an album, you'll definitely see new music this year," he promised.

B.o.B's debut album spawned a number of hit singles, including collaborations with the likes of Bruno Mars, Paramore singer Hayley Williams, and Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo.

The rapper also featured on Jessie J's recent single 'Price Tag', which topped the UK charts last month.
