USHER’S NEW PROMO PICS + ALBUM COVER
Saturday, April 19, 2008
Usher released his new album cover and promo pics on the net via his myspace Friday. The singer has been working hard with the likes of Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri on his new album “Here I Stand” (out May 27).
Here is what Jermaine Dupri recently told MTV about Usher’s upcoming album:
Usher’s album is more about teaching men [that] at some point, you gotta grow up. And growing up is respecting a woman and having a woman in your life and taking care of your woman. That’s his definition of growing up. A lot of other n—as have a different definition. That’s his definition of becoming a man, taking care of home. [READ MORE]

I’m digging this. Its still “Usher” but I love and appreciate that he’s growing up. Embracing your maturity is so sexy to me…which is why Janet and Mariah are even more disturbing.

One of the kings of R&B is back. And the other one, R.Kelly is coming this year too. Finally, a good year for R&B. Can’t wait for the album. Time to teach these kids how it’s done.

JD needs to shut-up. HIs comment makes no sense since Usher’s new song is about making love in a club. Yeah that’s real grown-up, mature, and teaches men how to be real men. LOL

Lol @ spoken words. What is really trying to teach? All these artists do not know what to say anymore. Whether they are rappers or not, they are all pop stars to me. These crazy artists are not as creative as before (Only a few and they don’t sell records). I only hear listenable music. I cannot remember saying wow, this is good music. I think it’s because I listen to only mainstream music. Gosh.. I want to hear more from Solange, Amy, Estelle and hopefully Beyonce.

Love it. Can’t wait for Usher’s album. He always delivers with great music. Although I don’t like his current marriage, that doesn’t take away from the support I have as a fan! Can’t wait until May 27!

I don’t know why people are hating on Usher’s new album cover, just like J.D. said, he’s growing up in this album. SO he obviously would not have his shirt off and S$#t like that just to attract more attention. R&B music is going back to the way it once was, about the MUSIC (Hence Ne-Yo’s album title “Year of The Gentlemen”) So chill out with those lil’ Omarion comparison’s cause, there is truly no comparison in there music (except for the dance routines). Also, I will be the first to admit that I was not quite impressed with usher’s two step in the “Love in the Club” video but, I hope the next single “Moving Mountains” he goes in on. Peace!

I like the promo pics, but I think if Usher is gonna rock the beard look he should have the bareber line it up and make it look a bit more neat cause it looks type scruffy to me.

I can’t wait to cop the album and I ain’t brought an album since 2005! I gotta support my homie Usher-I wanna see him do big units in the first week like Confessions but I know there’s alot of bitter women who are mad cause he ain’t marry them or a supermodel chick lmao. He will still have a big opening week regardless. I predict around 800,000 units

Umm can we say Nick Lachey “Whats Left Of Me”? Although the cover is nice. It looks exactly like the images inside of Nick Lachey’s cd. Black and white no color, black and red writing. I mean it’s damn near the same. How unoriginal. He probably thought we wouldn’t peep that since most people who listen to him don’t listen to Nick, but I did!

Lol at Queen! (26) that chick isn’t righted! I’m waiting to hear the new usher stuff, i loved confessions but so far everything i’ve heard hasn’t hit the spot, i think he’s gonna end up like Mariah - too many J.D beats and an okay-ish album (not better than Mimi.
Hey, does anyone know if Tevin Campbell is still recording?

Our little usher has grown up. I’ve watched Usher through out the years grow from a litle boy into a grown man. That is a beautiful thing to see. And now is married with his very own family and on top of it he married a black women, who is not so much your stereo typical superstar type. That decision right there showed that he was maturing and coming into his own.
I wish him much success in all that he does.

Um EVERYBODY grows up. he suppose to stay the same 19 20 21 year old boy?no!
Hope this album is more on the R&B side cuz everybody tryna do club songs(which is cool) but I want some R&B INSTEAD OF THIS POP SH*T

I’m shocked his woMAN isn’t in these photos i’m sure she had control over it though.
I just don’t like Usher anymore bump the fact that he’s with a woMAN, but the whole thing with his mother..turn off. Good luck to him anyways I won’t be supporting him.

This is definitely one of the few albums I will be buying this year (and trust me I don’t buy many). “Moving Mountains” is my joint! I must admit R&B is losing more and more depth as the years go by. Guess I’ll be buying 90’s albums soon!

Maybe the fact that Usher actually married his woman and settled down with her will rub off on Jermaine Dupri…
I’ve been a huge fan of Usher’s for years so to buy his new album is a new brainer for me.

I can see him trying to be more mature and it’s showing. Promo pics always look the same to me no matter the artist. He has more clothes on this time around.
The guy is trying, give him a break lol
Anyway I’ll wait until I hear the whole album to judge it. Clearly his current single is very catchy and radio made.
And his nose has been huge from the jump why ya’ll acting like it’s new.

I don’t see how “Making Love In This Club” shows maturity lol that song to me just sound like a silly song Usher put out to garner attention lol nonetheless I have to listen to the album because some of the songs that have leaked I have not been feeling. “Confessions and “8701″ were fyah! Good Luck Usher oh yeah the album cover is whack but the other promo pictures are nice!

lol I been listening to Usher since ages, I think that grown (definition of a real man :P) message has always been there, BUT NOT IN THE SINGLES, most of the singles that you’ve listened to are mostly club , but if u actually purchase/download the album there are lots of song that give u that msg, i’m still an Ush fan, I dunno why I feel RnB more then Hip Hop music…
Anyway as a Graphic Artist, that cover blows big time, I could make a much better one with the other pics added in like 10min literally =/

jd is correct about the definition of what a man is suppose to be, taking care of the home settling down and finding the correct one to do it with regardless of what other folks say.
the cover is alright but usher is usher.
