Let me know if you guys agree with this article I put together...

http://youknowigotsoul.com/5-things-we-need-from-ushers-upcoming-album

1. Age Appropriate Lyrics ?
Leave the stripper anthems to Chris Brown and Trey Songz. Although ?I Don?t Mind? was Usher?s biggest hit in 3 years, the song did nothing for his legacy. Usher?s strength is that he?s able to connect with his audience through his storytelling. When you heard songs like ?U Got It Bad? and ?Burn?, you could feel what he was going through. His first hit ?You Make Me Wanna? was about a scenario that we?ve all been through and that?s what made it easy to believe him as an artist.

2. A Sound That Pushes the Genre Forward ?
Let?s face it, it?s not 2004 anymore. To anyone that?s expecting Usher to make a sequel to ?Confessions?, keep on dreaming. You shouldn?t want that anyway. Usher?s key to success has been that he?s always stayed ahead of the curve. Usher was one of the first R&B artists to rap on their own song on ?My Way?, ?U Don?t Have To Call? still sounds ahead of its time and ?Yeah!? started the trend of Crunk&B music.

3. Consistency With His Sound ?
To Usher?s credit though, he has attempted to push the genre forward with his later albums. ?Looking 4 Myself? will probably be remembered as the album where he went completely Pop, but he should be celebrated for merging the EDM and R&B together on songs like ?Climax?, which is actually one of the best Usher songs ever. However, the problem is that Usher keeps releasing generic Dance-pop as his singles and that decision confuses everyone. The common listener probably had no idea about songs like ?I Care For U? because they just assumed that the rest of the album would sound like ?Scream?. I mean that?s what he was performing at all the award shows.

4. Vocals ?
Even though Usher has been killing the game for over 20 years, you rarely hear anyone who would consider him one of the top male vocalists. He?s almost underrated in that aspect because he can sing with the best of them. We need him to bring his A game because it is needed right now. Rappers have basically pushed R&B singers out of the way with their autotuned melodies. Usher has the ability and credibility to turn the tide and push vocals to the forefront again.

5. A Reunion With Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox ?
Yes, we just told you it?s not 2004 anymore but the superproducers have played such a huge part in Usher?s career that it?s almost necessary to have them involved with this upcoming album. Usher?s ballads have stood the test of time and very few do it better than JD and B-Cox. It?s been a few years since they?ve had a hit, but their work on the latest albums for Jagged Edge and Mariah Carey prove that they still know how to create great R&B songs when called upon.

Alot of people say Usher cant sing because his singles never really displayed his vocal ability. His best songs vocally were mostly album tracks

I don't see how he's been keeping it light
I think he's definitely given his all over the course of his career.
His songs are very hard to sing
