View More By Usher Our ReviewTwo years in the making, Raymond v Raymond is the product of conflicted circumstances. The singer hoped he could reconstruct the formula of Confessions, the smash 2004 album that used his relationship troubles as source material for a series of platinum pop songs. Raymond v Raymond was a rockier process, with rockier results, but it still offers a lot of fascinating moments. “Monstar,” “OMG” and “So Many Girls” take a crack at the robotic club sounds currently in vogue, but Usher’s style is too limber and sweet to fit in this mold. He fares better on “Foolin’ Around,” “Guilty” and “Papers,” which showcase his agile, still-young vocals, and feel honest, both musically and lyrically. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis deliver “Mars vs. Venus” and “Pro Lover,” two songs that prove that when Usher is paired with a creative, tasteful production team, he can still pull off sexed-up, hypnotic R&B songs. Created by RedOne, the Swedish producer-songwriter who is responsible for most of Lady Gaga’s biggest hits, “More” shows that the future pop landscape might yet hold a place for a fraught prince like Usher.. Customer ReviewsBiggest Mismanagement of a Superstar Ever. (3 stars)I’ll start by saying I’m a HUGE Usher fan. Of mancrush proportions. So this review makes me sad to have to write. Let’s journey back to 2004. Coming off the largest selling album of the 2000’s, 2004’s Confessions, there was no bigger superstar in music than Usher. None. Not Timberlake, Kanye, Jay-Z, U2, Beyonce, or anyone. Poised to take over the throne as the heir to Michael’s “King of Pop” throne, Usher inexp About time.. (5 stars) I am glad Usher is getting back into that upbeat groove that we know and love. This is nothing like the simpy Here I Stand and I am happy, but at at the same time I feel like he could have done a *bit* better on this album. I like it, don't get me wrong and it does not disappoint. I just wish some of the nice "rumored" tracks were actually on this. It would have made this a smash hit from front cover to end. Also, what's King is BACKK!! (5 stars) This album is thus far my fav of 2010 !! It's a much better album than his latest effort (Here I Stand) Standout Tracks: 1) Guilty (Ft. T.I.) 2) Lil' Freak (Ft. Nicki Minaj) 3) More 4) Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home) 5) Foolin' Around 6) OMG (Ft. Will.I.Am) damn this list goes on and on !! MUST BUY BiographyBorn: October 14, 1978 in Chattanooga, TNGenre: R&B/Soul Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s After Usher Raymond was spotted by a LaFace record executive at a talent show in his hometown of Atlanta, it took no time for his career to take off. The 14-year-old auditioned for LaFace co-founder L.A. Reid, who signed the gospel choir boy to a recording contract. Raymond was introduced to the world simply as "Usher," and released his debut album of the same name in 1994, which featured co-executive producer Sean "Puffy" Combs.
