Its the same bland formula, nice love ballads, decent dance tracks, nothing single material. If you enjoyed Here I Stand you will enjoy this solid effort. Usher, like many of his peers failed to grow from heart throb into man hood. But he will continue to keep his urban fans happy. Will he ever have the success of My Way, 8701 or Confessions again? No. Trey has the generic r&b lovers on lock and no one is paying Mr. And that's the same problem he's facing now, Trey Songz. And about time he put out Here I Stand he already had a replacement, Chris Brown.
Even though the last two projects were solid they fell into the generic r&b category. Usher peaked at 8701, his music and sound haven't evolved since then. The album flows very nicely aside from an occasional slip like the Will.i.am produced OMG, which sound like a horrible Black Eye Peas left over, and so many girls which sounds even more dated then the rest of the album. The standout tracks are of course Little Freak (mad he put the edited version on here), Monstar, & There Goes My Baby. I know I bashed the album as each song leaked, but as a whole I enjoyed the album. After his last album tanked and lukewarm reception of his latest ventures, the question in the back of everybody's mind is Usher over? I pretty much got the answer after listening to the new album. Pretty rough, considering that every 1st single he has since the My Way album have been #1 hits. He pours himself into that song more than any other on the set, and breakup lyrics don’t. Papers, the early buzz single for Raymond V Raymond, bears the closest relation to the turbulence he experienced. The diamond selling artist has yet to garner any huge buzz or even get any of the 3 singles he has released in the Top 40. The making of Usher ’s sixth studio album was inevitably affected by the end of his marriage and its aftershocks. Raymond is finally here after almost a year of push backs.
