(The combination is as wrong as Eugene McDaniels' “Compared to What” and a soft drink commercial.) Otherwise, the slow jams and the few moments when Usher sounds as if he's having actual fun win out. Two of the best happen to be collaborations with Jam and Lewis and the Avila Brothers. “Mars vs Venus,” a very slow jam, soars, while “Pro Lover” is a breezy, casual number filled with sweet dub accents.ON a recent afternoon at an airy recording studio here, Usher Raymond IV leaned back in a chair and sang along as “There Goes My Baby,” a slow-burning ballad from his forthcoming album, “Raymond v. Raymond” (Jive), played over the sound system, occasionally picking up an unlighted cigar, which he rolled in his mouth. When the song ended, this 31-year-old singer, who records under his first name, motioned for an engineer to shut the sound system off and launched into an explanation of the tune’s origins. “The feeling of it is if you have a true connection with somebody, no matter what happens in life, it will always come back,” he said. “No matter how long it takes to make it through whatever issues pull you apart, something pulls you back together. Given that Usher was recently divorced, one might think he was contemplating life with his ex-wife. But when asked if a particular lyric - “Like waterfalls, your hair falls down to your waist” - was intended as a nod and wink to his former girlfriend, Rozonda Thomas, Chili of the R&B group TLC, who scored a career-defining hit with 1994’s “Waterfalls,” Usher smiled broadly. (Rico Love, in a phone interview, admitted the nod was intentional: “I always thought Chilli and Usher were a great couple, so I did that to spark Pucci “Rico’s crazy, right?” he said with a laugh, referring to Rico Love who wrote the song’s lyrics.

View Full Version: Usher - Raymond VS Raymond (album cover) Usher - Raymond V. This is a lot better than Here I stand and I think this album will outsell Here I stand! The making of Usher ’s sixth studio album was inevitably affected by the end of his marriage and its aftershocks. Papers, the early buzz single for Raymond V Raymond, bears the closest relation to the turbulence he experienced. He pours himself into that song more than any other on the set, and breakup lyrics. OMG is starting to take off, it will be huge trust me. I think Hey Daddy will be a crossover hit and I am predicting LIl freak will do fine and hope he releases Guilty as the next single in Fall.
He will not fail and there a lot of Usher fans and non Usher fans who love Usher’s music THEY ARE LYING TO THEMSELVES B/C THEY ARE BRAINWASHED BY WHAT happened to him in the past. IN THE LONG RUN USHER WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH! That is over and Usher will make it and his popularity will rise again.ĭon’t Let the Haters get to you! THEY ARE GOOD FOR NOTHING LOSERS WHO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN TO HURT SOMEONE’s FEELINGS LIKE USHER. His music has always been excellent Except for Burn (worst song)! Every song he ever made was awesome.
