Justin Bieber has called his forthcoming Christmas album, which features a host of guest stars including Busta Rhymes, "genius".

The covers album, entitled 'Under the Mistletoe', is due to be released on 31^st October.

In an interview with MTV News, Justin praised the album and said he was a particular fan of his Busta collaboration, 'Little Drummer Boy', which sees him rap.

"If you really think about it, it's genius, because it's rapping on a Christmas album ... and, like, I'm rapping on it. And then it's singing," he said.

"It's cool. [Busta's] got, like, a percussive voice to him [and] the beat was so crazy. I'm actually playing drums on that song, playing the snare."

'Under The Mistletoe' also features vocals from Mariah Carey and Usher.
