Album is boring
I'm halfway through and A Town Girl, Kissing Strangers and Bop are standouts. That's 3/10 so far (not counting Good Good) :uhh:

Usher is one of the most consistent artists of all time
A-Town girl? Ain't Latto from Ohio or sum
I didn't like the production that much, it sounds dated and I think there are too many computer beats. I think Risk it all might be the best song, the rest of the album was a difficult listen.. If I had to pick Risk it all is #1, number two probably Margiela because it had some Frank Ocean vibes. Room in a room was decent but it reminded me of Drake and The Weekend..I thought the concept was nice but it just needed more instrumental parts and a more experimental/abstract approach to really create the atmosphere.
I was convinced Usher's album would be better than Justin Timberlake's, now I am not sure.
I know that this is his first independent release but he needs an A&R. A lot of the established acts that come from a major and go indie needs guidance. This album feel like it was just pieced together. That BIG song is just awful. I don't know what King what thinking with that.
I like most of this
It does seem like just a bunch of songs but most of them have good vocals and production
Kissing Strangers
Keep Dancing
Stone Cold Freak
Ruin
On The Side
I'm gonna listen a few times to see if I really love it

I haven't listen yet but I'm so proud of King. Usher is really out here cementing his legacy.i open apple I see his face, I open youtube I see his face, I turn on the news I see his face, etc.
I respect his hustle, hope I can enjoy the album.
Usher opens his album with my boy Burna Boy. I already likes this.

!!!! I feel like he's just always late and chasing trends that are already tired. This was an opportunity to bring back his classic R&B sounds.. and he missed it.
He sounds great though
This album is very uninspired and generic. Even the solid tracks are forgettable. It also has NO business being as long as it is :uhh: There's only about two songs I care to even hear again

Yeah love him but this album ain't it

King has a great voice but the songs are not Good Good. I am still excited to see the Super Bowl performance, but he can keep this new project.

I haven't rushed to listen to this yet.
The only single I've really loved is "Good Good".
He needs to switch up his sound.
His sounds fucking amazing on "Risk" btw but it's still growing
I will give it another listen. But I have to agree the album is pretty boring and uninspired and too long.
The album is pretty mid. Only songs I really liked was Bop, Ruin, On The Side, I Am The Party and Luckiest Man

Love King but this album was not good. There was maybe 4 or 5 good songs on here, a lot could have been cut.
I hope it's a success for him though.

Usher and his marketing team & team as a whole are stellar.
They did some type of analytical work to execute these last 4 years of his career. They cleaned the public's palate from those lawsuits by resetting the conversation ab him.
47K in physical sales the first week is such a big book.
Def a slay but with performing at the SB and releasing an album the same weekend, it SHOULD be booking.
Bonus track for Skims
Production and vocals are a lot better than most of the album songs, I am confused why it didn't make the album. I don't know about some of these lyrics, but the vocals are amazing. It's giving Confessions era.
"nakedddd"

I hate Usher albums since Confessions.
8701 is his best work by a mile.
8701 is my favorite Usher's album.
I've always felt Confessions was a bit overrated imo.
Here I Stand was pretty solid Imo.
This album is so good

I think he cheated because she turned him down. Some men don't handle rejection well. Obviously they weren't meant to be together
Funny enough she revealed that they stayed in touch with each other in the times that they were single up until 2019. They definitely had a tight connection
