As Usher's Highly Anticipated New Album Draws Ever Closer, The Record Continues To Leak Track After Track.
Trading Places is a sultry slow jam, with some well built beats & sexy lyrical content, I really like the guitar burst on the bridge, nice touch. It continues the run of solid songs to leak from Here I Stand, while nothing I have heard so far really matches the brilliance of Confessions, I can't pass judgement until the final article is released.
I have been hearing criticism of Usher's new music, simply because it has little emotional value, due to the fact that he is now happily married, maybe he simply has no more Confessions?

"Usher - Flash"
I'm Sure A Lot Of You Guys Are Just As Hyped As I Am About Usher's New Album - Here I Stand. Here Is A New Track That Didn't Make The Cut.
Flash is a bit of an oddity, the production, courtesy of Pharrell, is very mellow & not really fitting to an Usher track IMO. Still, it's a pretty nice cut, Usher times his vocals well with the beat, while not really coming through with the lyrics.
I can see why this track was dropped from the final track listing, but if this was the worst track on the album, then the finished article should sound amazing!. Here I Stand is due for release on the 27th of May.

"Usher ft. Beyonce & Lil Wayne - Love In This Club (Part II)"
After The Huge Success Of Usher's Latest Track - Love In The Club, Here Is A New Song Dubbed - Part II.
Beyonce & Lil Wayne have jumped on the track in a strange combination, I can see the King & Queen of R&B joining forces, but Weezy seems a little lost IMO. Still, the track feels more like contemporary R&B over it's Poppy predecessor.
I am really looking forward to Usher's new album, I'm still not a fan of the man, but I love the music. Definitely going to be a hot pick of 2008.

"Usher - Here I Stand" (Album Cover)
Here Is An Example Of A Quality Album Cover, Other Artist's Take Note.
Usher's - Here I Stand has been pushed forward from a June release date to sometime in May, which makes a change. With joints produced by Timbaland, Polow Da Don, Jermaine Dupri & T-Pain, it is one of my most anticipated records of the year.
The album cover is a real good look, Usher looks so fly & the whole feel is just Uber cool. I think covers & art work are so important for an album, they are part of the whole package & I hate when an artist just puts on a smile & calls it a cover.

"Usher ft. Young Jeezy - Love In The Club" (Video)
After A Long Wait & Much Anticipation, Here Is the Video For Usher's Number #1 Single - Love In The Club.
The video itself is well thought out, well themed & fantastically choreographed, it is completely different from what I was expecting. The production for the track was recently exposed as being made with samples from Apple's Garageband, it's still hot. I like the whole track, as well as everything else have heard from the album so far, I hope the consistency continues.
While I still believe Usher is a grade A idiot (trying to get your official fansite closed down because they don't like your wife? - Bull-ish). I do believe that he is a legend in the making, this track is simply a continuation of former solid, well made songs, he always manages to bring 'IT' with everything he makes.
IMO, Usher is the male Mariah Carey, he is not too innovative, but instead sticks to a formula for making songs, a brilliant formula that continues to create masterful music. If he manages to recreate his last album - Confessions, he will have done enough for me.

"Usher - Moving Mountains"
Here Is Another Hot Track Lifted From Usher's, As Yet Untitled, New Album.
Moving Mountains has been produced by Timbaland & written by The-Dream, it is a mid-tempo track with some hot beats. Usher really seems to be bringing it for his new record, every track I have heard so far has been 'fire'.
I'm aware I'm yet to hear the album in it's entirety, but no track I have heard so far has really been a club-banger, which Usher is real good at. Moving Mountains covers the middle of the road, but where is the 'Yeah' of the last album?

"Usher - I Can't Win"
As Usher Prepares The Release Of His Fifth Studio Album, Here Is A Brand New Leaked Track.
I Can't Win is a decent slow-jam with some very nice vocal arrangements & soft production from Stargate. For once, Stargate have made a beat that doesn't sound like Beyonce's; Irreplaceable, I am really liking the production, lyrics, vocals & the general feel of the track.
If Usher can keep up this level of slick, modern R&B, I'm sure his new album, as yet untitled, will be another smash hit. I Can't Win is a definite winner for me, let's hope it makes the final cut of his new record.

"Usher ft. Young Jeezy - Love In This Club"
Okay, So Usher Has Been Leaking Tracks Left, Right & Centre Lately, But Here Is One I Actually Like.
Love In This Club features Young Jeezy & is lifted from Usher's un-titled 5th studio album, which is scheduled for release this spring. It has been produced by a favourite producer of mine; Polow Da Don & is a mid-tempo, sexy number that is a sure fire hit.
Usher released Yeah as the first single from the now infamous Confessions, I don't think that this track comes close to Yeah, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is not the first official single. I like Usher's music, I just wish he would do something that would make me like him as a person, for now I still think he's a D*** Head.
