About Usher
"With every album, I try to better myself. I'm a perfectionist and
with the success of my last record, I wasn't sure about where my
growth should be - as a performer, as a vocalist. I always felt like I
held something back on my albums - on every album, I was playing a
'role'. This time, I decided to shake my fears and allow my
personality to come through. I've really 'lived' this album: I'm in a
healthy place right now. I'm 25-years old and I'm dealing with my
responsibilities as a man and I'm not afraid to speak, to be realistic
and talk about the issues men deal with [in relationships]."
International superstar Usher is speaking about CONFESSIONS, his
fourth album following global multi-platinum sales for 2001's 8701 set
? an album which launched his career to superstar status, a true
crossover success. CONFESSIONS debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and
Top R&B/Hip-Hop Album charts, setting an astonishing seven Soundscan
sales records and selling 1.1 Million albums the first week. Usher
explains "because I'm telling on myself. If you loved the last record,
you'll definitely love this one. I think it's innovative. Life
imitates art and I think this is my best work yet. It's a complete
picture musically - I feel like when people listen to this record,
it's like listening to an audio movie..." Worldwide, Usher has sold
twenty-four million albums, both domestically and internationally.
Demonstrating a new level of vocal and creative maturity, CONFESSIONS
features several songs co-written by Usher. Fred Bronson of Billboard
Magazine adds that Usher is in "extremely rare territory" being the
first solo artist to land three hits inside the top 10 in the same
week, matching The Beatles in 1964 and The BeeGees in 1978. Those
three hits being "Burn" at #1 on the Hot 100 for 2 consecutive weeks,
"Yeah" featuring Lil'Jon & Ludacris at #4 (previously spent 12 weeks
at #1) and newest single "Confessions II" at #8. Even beyond those
singles, lies examples of the lyrical honesty that the multi-talented
entertainer brings to his latest work abound. There's "Truth Hurts"
(produced and co-written by super hit makers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis)
which Usher reveals "is a very personal song. Some men don't have the
guts to say what they feel but I'm not that kind of guy - I have to
fess up! Basically, the song is the story of a man who knows he's done
wrong but he's accusing his woman, figuring that by confronting her
for whatever she's done, he can cover up what he's been doing. You
know, like the accuser is really the one who should be the accused!
But if you have a conscience, it's gonna get you and the truth is
going to come out anyway ... "
"Superstar," co-written by Usher and produced by Vidal & Dre has an
imaginative lyric, referencing Usher's many female fans worldwide.
"It's got lines like, 'you are my superstar, I am your Number One1
fan, I'll be your groupie, baby, give me your autograph, I'll sign it
right here on my heart!' I think it's a brilliantly-written song,"
says Usher, "and honestly, I think it's one of the best vocal
performances on this album. I definitely wanted to show my growth
vocally and you can hear it on tracks like this one ... "

Co-written with Brian Michael Cox and Jermaine Dupri, who also
produced the song, Usher's "Burn" is a beautiful slow jam that the
multi-talented artist considers "a signature Usher track. After doing
this many albums, there's a sound people know me for and you can hear
that on ?Burn.' It's a real 'heartbreak' kind of song in which you
know a relationship is falling apart, you know you want to just be
friends but it's rough. Every time you talk to her on the phone, you
get this feeling in the pit of your stomach, like an ache. There's
that feeling of loneliness - it's over and you can't get it back."
While he won't say whether the song reflects a specific experience
he's been through, he confesses that "Follow Me" (another Vidal & Dre
production) is based on real life. "A lot of women see me and they
think that my life is just all about videos and shows and making
records. But there's more to my life than that and this song is about
a woman who treats me like a for-real, regular guy ... "
No Usher album would be complete without at least one or two all-out
party songs and "Yeah!" (featuring Ludacris) fits the bill. Produced
by Li'l Jon, the track is the first single from CONFESSIONS and is
already a bonafide 2004 smash! Notorious for turning out non-stop
hits, such as Grammy-winning "U Remind Me," "U Got It Bad" (a single
that reached a record-breaking 149 million in audience first week) and
"U Don't Have To Call" (a second 2002 Grammy winner), Usher ensures
his place as one of today's most successful recording artists with
numerous prime cuts from his last four albums. On CONFESSIONS, likely
stand-out tracks for instant reaction from Usher's many fans include
"Simple Things," another tune produced by and co-written with Jam &
Lewis, and two tracks, "Can You Handle It" and "Do It To Me," which
leave little to the imagination!
Usher smiles when talking about "Can You Handle It," a tailor-made
steamy slow jam: "I heard (producer-turned-artist) Robin Thicke's
album and I thought it was pretty profound. I reached out to him and
he was very excited about us working together although we didn't know
where to start. He played me this song and it had like a double
meaning. Yeah, it's very sexual but you could say that it's also about
asking a girl if she can handle what you're about to say ... It's the
kind of song you put on ... when the time is right! And yes, it could
describe some real situations I've been in!"
Produced by Jermaine Dupri, the ballad "Do It To Me" is equally
suggestive: "I call that my tribute to Prince because I have always
been inspired by his greatness as an artist. The lyrics tell the story
from a woman's perspective but it has some double and triple
meanings!" Usher laughs. "Sure, it's suggestive but it's real. We both
know what's on each other's minds. She wants me and I want her too ...
and we're imagining how it's gonna be ... "
Whether he's being playful on tracks like "Yeah!" or serious on the
album's title cut, "CONFESSIONS" (a song also co-written with Brian
Michael Cox and Jermaine Dupri), Usher has every reason to be
confident that the album will follow its predecessors into the upper
reaches of the charts the world over. Considering where he's at this
juncture, he says, "The mission in my career before now was to 'get'
to the party! Now I feel I'm at the party!"
