Austin Mahone Reveals What His Next Project May Be

Last weekend, Washington released his new film The Equalizer with Chloe Grace Moretz and Mahone tweeted Saturday about how "hard" the Oscar-winning Washington is as an actor.

Mahone doesn't have much time to go to the movies, between gearing up for his upcoming mini-tour in Mexico and recording his first full-length album. Mahone is currently in Los Angeles, but he starts his tour 2 in Mexico City followed by October 3 in Merida and Guadalajara on October 4.

After that Mahone will be finishing recording his first full-length album. Mahone told Billboard previously that his album will feature "a lot of different styles. I'm probably gonna stick with pop for the most part, but I'm gonna jump out to a little more EDM, maybe some R&B, different stuff like that."

He had also revealed he was working with producer Max Martin, who is known for collaborating with artists like Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. Martin has also worked with the Backstreet Boys, who seem to be a big influence on Mahone.

Mahone also told the website that one song is already a "lock" for his next album. It's called Til I Find You. Mahone said it has a "real EDM kind of Backstreet Boys feel. The beat hits really hard. It's got some futuristic sounds in there, so its gonna take you on a journey if you listen to it."

Mahone hopes to release his album in early 2015.
