JO! NEW USHER *HYPE* HYPE*
There's a lot of early buzz surrounding Usher's fourth
album, Confessions. Everybody's wondering: Will he push
the envelope? Can he top his last albums, given the fact
that his 1997 release My Way and his 2001 CD 8701 sold a
combined 8 million units."
Though Usher himself was not in the house for a special
listening session of Confessions , the set's executive
producer, Mark Pitts, was obviously excited about the
project, as he hosted the early February event at
Arista's New York offices.
"This is the Usher you've been waiting for," Pitts said.
"He's all grown up and you can hear it in his vocals and
in the types of songs on this album."
Pitts turned up the surround-sound system volume, and the
conference room table literally bounced as he played the
first track, "Yeah," featuring Lil' Jon and Ludacris. The
bumping club joint is already at radio stations, and a
video will be out soon, we were told.
While Usher's image has been of the sexy young man you'd
take home to your mom,then sneak in the house when mom
wasn't home,his music has always leaned toward the safe
side. Confessions is definitely Usher's departure from
that squeaky-clean image. He gets most personal on the
title track, "Confessions II," where he cites his own
infidelity and an unplanned pregnancy.
"Now this is going to be the hardest thing I think I ever
had to do/Got me talking to myself asking how am I going
to tell you/'Bout the call I got from the girl that I was
creepin' with/Says she's three months pregnant and she's
keepin' it." Word is that the first part of this song,
"Confessions I," will be released after the album drops
via DVD or Internet.
"Burn," produced by Jermaine Dupri and Brian Michael Cox,
is the signature ballad of the album. Usher croons as he
explains to his woman that, although he loves her, it may
be time for them to go their separate ways.
There's no mincing of words on "Do It To Me." Produced by
Jermaine Dupri and Brian Michael Cox, the track is
reminiscent of Prince's "The Beautiful Ones." "I'm tired
of thinking about it/Speaking about it/Baby it's time to
be about it/Turn off the lights, take off your
clothes/Jump in the bed and let it flow/The squeezing,
holding, biting, scratching, spanking, screaming." The
Neptunes stepped in to produce the sugary-sweet "Sweet
Lies," the first song recorded for Confessions.
