Who would ever expect the 2000s decade king of rnb album to flop in album sales in 2012? Imagine that from the man who has one of the best selling albums musical history from the early 21st century. In the process of looking for himself, Usher, the man who the world regarded as the best dancer in pop since Michael Jackson, lost his soul. Little wonder even Neyo complained about his 2010 album, Raymond vs Raymond. NEYO said that that album fell short from what people has been expecting from the rnb icon. In 2012, Looking For Myself produced the legendary song Climax. Paul MCcartney said that the song influenced his new album, but the song Scream showed that Usher is stili trying his best to remain relevant after two decades in music. However, his place among the greats is already assured. The late James Brown once heralded him as THE GODSON OF SOUL.
But from the year 2008, Usher lost his soul as he left his rnb roots producing the sales-flop album that managed to produce one Billboard hot 100 song which only sold 1.5M in the US, Make Love In This Club. In 2010, he tried with R vs R anyway from the songs like Trading Places, There goes My Baby,etc. Yet, it produced two pop bandwaggon songs which the likes of Chris Brown, Justin Beiber and co shoulb be singing, u know, the OMG and the DJ GOT US FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN thing.
So experiencing musical setback after the era of Confessions, the first week sales for an rnb artist in history, Usher has decided to go back to his rnb roots with a new album on the work. According to his prodegee Rico and Diplo who produced Climax, the album is going to be "FREAKING OUT OF HERE". But what can we say wil truely come out of it? Should we be xpecting another flop from Mr Raymond IV? Lets chat people.
