Check out Cody Simpson‘s brand-new album cover for Surfer’s Paradise!

The 16-year-old musician announced the news during a chat with fans on Facebook. The album will drop on July 16th.

“Surfers Paradise is basically the most famous area on the Gold Coast of Australia, where I am from,” Cody shared in a statment. “I think this album really represents that piece of me, my lifestyle, and where I come from. When making my first album Paradise it was sort of a journey to find myself as a young adult & artist. With Surfers Paradise the entire process felt more natural and comfortable, like being back home. I wanted to share that feeling with my fans.”

Cody is also pictured at the Burger King event on Thursday night (May 16) to sample the new summer menu and devoured three of the new Carolina BBQ WHOPPER sandwiches. Yum!

Just the day after (May 17), Cody stopped by SiriusXm in New York City.
