After a near 4 year absence from the music scene, R&B star Usher is back with his much anticipated new album ‘Here I Stand’ – which hits stores worldwide today.
The massive success of the set’s first single ‘Love In This Club’ shows that there is evidently a thirst for the 29 year old Grammy winner’s latest material. That Grape Juice wants to know, though, whether you will be picking up ‘Here I Stand’? If so, why? If not, why? Heard the album already (lol lol)? What do yo think of it? What are your favourites etc? Feel free to drop your views in the ‘comments’ section…
Your thoughts?

Hello,
I’m from Itlay and… I already bought the CD on Friday, after having listened to the leaked version. WONDERFUL!!!!!!
Even though I really think that 8701 in unmatchable, this is really good.
Best tracks: 1 (the complete leaked track is really wonderful), 2, 3, 5 (!!!!!Epic as the sticker on the CD states), 6 (the best track of the CD, at least for us here in Europe: it really has a perfect Euro dance vibe like Rihanna’s Please don’t stop the music, Ne-yo’s Closer & Janet’s 2nite), 11, 12, 13, 14.
GO BUY IT!

I WILL NOT BE BUYIN THIS ALBUM
IF I DID BUY THE ALBUM I’D JUST BE PISSED OFF THAT HE RE-RELEASED IT LATER WITH BONUS TRACKS
OR A LIMITED/SPECIAL EDITION
AND ITS WILL BE A LET DOWN
HE CANT TOP 8701, HIS BEST ALBUM IMO
SADLY I FEEL THAT HIS BEST WORK IS BEHIND HIM
P.S.
IS THERE A NEW NICE N SLOW/U GOT IT BAD/BURN TYPE SONG???

I’ve listened to the album when it leaked, and walked away not really too pleased. Usher had some great albums. This one is ok, but it’s not what I expected. It has some really nice songs on it, but only a few from what I got. So i won’t be purchasing it until, I get a better feel of it. Not something im going to rush out and buy. Now if I didn’t hear it before it leaked, I would have been up in best buy getting it today!

yeah i bought it… but like am big time disappointed – major! 1st off there’s wat too many tracks, all filler no killer. i know people are saying you could never beat his previous albums but he’s had 4 yrs to work on it so it should have been magic. I really got bored listening to this album. I do however love ‘REVOLVER’ and ‘WHAT’S YOUR NAME’
