Burn

Usher

Arista

WE SAY

No soundclip. We get the impression the plan for this album was open with a club cut to re-establish him in all the right circles, then come with the slow tempo massive crossover hit second. But the club cut (Yeah) exceeded everyone's expectations, so imagine how massive this follow-up will be. His new manager Tommy Mottola is right - the massive talent that is Usher is now getting the worldwide launch he always deserved.
