Usher Raymond nearly 30 years in the music business songwriting, dancing, singing, acting, and never missing a beat within his career. He was just in high school learning how to manage classes when his talent was first discovered. To this day now in 2022, Usher continues to evolve, adapt, and take in everything in this current generation to make sure he is giving his fans great R&B music that will make people party, get pumped up, blast in their cars, make love to, inspire them, and most of all enjoy everything life has to offer. I can attest to this because seeing his growth from the teenage superstar at 14-year-old stepping up and taking his place in the music industry.
He continues to blaze a trail from the next generation. He proudly and he owns that he has to set an example to his little brothers he calls them, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, August Alsina, Ne-Yo, Kevin Ross, all of the R&B new crooners who have a new example to set in Pop, R&B, Dance, and other genres of music they need to inspire artists, aspiring musicians, singers, songwriters, and their fans as well to continue to get out there and create. I have seen the growth I remember I was a little girl around 11 years old one of my girlfriends was telling me “Do you know him? Do you know his music?”.
They knew how much I loved music and I wanted to be a singer/songwriter growing up as a kid. My friend had the album she’s like you have to listen to this one song I love. Mind you we are in junior high school we don’t know anything about relationships, dating, just tween little girls drooling over our favorite pop and R&B stars.
She told me to listen to this song called, “Bedtime” she’s like that’s how you feel about your my crush he was a grade older than me. I had a crush on this one guy in middle school. The lyrics and the song yes I could identify with the feelings he was expressing to his lady love. The only difference is I was 11 and he was 19 years old a young man getting ready to step into his twenties. He was a young man on his way getting ready to embark on musical success. He was getting ready to become not only musical influencer but also a musical mentor to many others. The millions of his fans feel the same way it’s not just a song when it comes to Usher. You feel his passion, his love, his experiences through his music. You know this is someone who’s not just singing a song, he’s lived through these romantic spirals the highs, the lows, and he knows how to repair and rebuild his relationships too. Continues to show nothing but admiration and respect for all of the women in his life. They have helped him create some of his greatest hits in the music business.
So with that being said he continues to top his reputation in the music business time and time again.
He shows he can make collaborations and hits on an album with artists like Lil Jon, Ludacris, Rick Ross, Will.I.Am, Alicia Keys, Ella Mai, and so many more that will continue to stand the test of time as he grows as an entertainer and recording artist. Get ready to see Usher this summer he’s coming back for us with new music, get ready for the second part of Confessions Part 2 the follow up of his multi-platinum, Confessions Part 1, and his new 11th album coming later this 2022.
