Usher Born in Dallas, Texas, back in November 1978... he’s an American singer, dancer, and actor through and through. The world basically knows him as the King of R&B. Usher really broke through and made his mark toward the end of the 90s when he dropped his second album...my Way
And those songs...Nice and Slow
... pure perfection.
What was his very first single to hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100... And then there's his next album... 8701 So, the single actually hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100...U Remind Me
...
I...u Got It Bad
... just pure perfection.
That album has moved over 8 million copies worldwide... unbelievable...
Usher just kept that momentum rolling by dropping his 2004 album... Confessions...That album absolutely crushed it... we're talking 10 million copies sold right here in the USA, and a staggering 20 million copies worldwide. It was a monster. Plus, it was packed with singles that climbed straight to number one on the Billboard Hot 100...Yeah!", "Burn...", "Confessions Part II...I...my boa
Wait, hold on... Usher's album dropped back in 2008... here i Stand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9_gYP2O-Nc&ob=av2e -> Usher's Discography He's moved over 5 million units worldwide, and that lead single...Love in This Club http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOqXxGNJgJA&ob=av2nHe actually hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100. On March 30, 2010, Usher dropped his sixth studio album... Raymond V. RaymondIt ended up being his third consecutive album to debut straight at number one on the Billboard 200... A massive achievement. That same record went platinum, too, and Usher walked away with two Grammys for it. One of the huge hits from that era was "..."OMG...Another single hits number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Then Usher dropped his very first EP, Versus, which stormed onto the Billboard 200 at number four...
The RIAA just officially recognized Usher as one of the most successful artists in the history of American music... and honestly, looking at the numbers, how could they not? We're talking about 23 million albums sold right here in the USA. Just look at the hardware he’s racked up: seven Grammys, four World Music Awards, six American Music Awards, and a massive twenty-two Billboard Music Awards. Plus, back in 2008, he was ranked as the 21st most successful Hot 100 artist of all time. Absolute legend...

I can't believe people actually rely on Wikipedia for everything... honestly, it’s getting ridiculous. You see it everywhere, just anyone and everyone treating it like some ultimate source of truth when we all know how messy it can get. One minute you're reading about a classic album, and the next, you're looking at some random edit that completely changes the facts. It’s chaotic... totally unhinged if you think about it too long...

I recently caught that documentary about him on CBS. He seems more or less okay—at least he isn't some drug addict or anything like that—but musically speaking, he just feels like another clone in the R&B galaxy to me.

Honestly, his music sounds like it was made specifically for a bunch of 14-year-old kids.
It’s just way too sugary-sweet for my taste...

I’ve been following Usher since the 90s... even if people say he's just one clone after another, he’s honestly the only one whose style actually hits the spot for me. His album Confessions was an absolute masterpiece; I swear there isn't a single track on that record that I didn't love. But out of all his hits, I always find myself circling back to 😁 which is "U Remind Me."

Such a strange track... but that arrangement is actually super interesting. I’m digging it, honestly. There’s this cool sense of progression as the song unfolds.

It didn't really click for me. When that opening beat started, I honestly thought it was going to be good, but then the rhythm shifted right away and I just wasn't feeling it.

The track is alright 🙂


I’m not feeling the song or the video. 🤷 I'd rather listen to "Good Kisser".

The video gives off major Timberlakean Senorita vibes.

When it comes to being the king of R&B, I’d say Usher earns the title. He's been holding it down for years, he can actually sing, his dancing is top-tier, and he's got that charisma. Plus, he isn't afraid to mess around with different genres and usually pulls it off. That said, these two new tracks feel pretty mid. He's capable of much more, though I will say this new one beats Good Kisser. Climax >>>>>

Just a total blank.
"Lost" by Usher—look, on one hand, his old-school fans have grown up, and he really should be looking out for them by dropping some solid R&B. This definitely isn't it. On the other hand, when he tries to jump on trends with these modern producers without getting top-tier material, he just fails to grab the younger crowd too. Plus, let's be real, he's not exactly a kid anymore either! I’m really hoping there’s at least one track on this album that hits as hard as Climax
