Personal and professional problems may be plaguing Usher at present, yet that hasn’t stopped the stage blazer from pushing on.
The 33 year old, whose latest album ‘Looking 4 Myself’ has sold just 330,000 copies since its release in June, has lined up ‘Dive’ as the set’s next Urban offering. Penned by ‘Motivation’ maestro Rico Love, the cut compliment’s the LP’s next Pop offering, ‘Numb’.
Peep ‘Dive’s official cover above and take a listen below…

It’s weird to think that I keep forgetting that Usher released an album this year. I feel like the hype in his project faded so quickly. He had some good cuts on there though so I hope this song restores interest in his album.

I find it annoying how this is being announced as his next “urban” single. Why can’t it just be his next single? Why does the word “urban” have to be attached to it?

Because today music has become as segregated as it was in the 1950s.
If you’re an R&B act, you have to come out with 2 singles simultaneously…one of pop radio and another for “urban”. Both formats aren’t going to play the same song anymore. And you can believe that record labels will put more of their dollars into promoting the pop song, while letting the urban song linger and do whatever it will at its format.
Both “Climax” and “Lemme See” should have been top 10 Hot 100 hits, but despite how overplayed both became at black radio, neither came anywhere near the mainstream top 10. RCA didn’t even try to promote them at pop. It was all about “Scream” only.

I forgot he released an album too. I lost interest when he released scream to be honest but I heard there are some good tracks on it.

“Scream” was probably the worst choice he could’ve made. The song is so generic and I think it’s the worst single choice of his whole career.

Ugh ugh ugh USHER….. Why isn’t “Euphoria” & “Lessons Of Love” “I Care” “Cant Stop, Won’t Stop” why can’t they be single choices…. It’s like he picking the lesser songs off the album to go for single choices smh, I guess good luck, It was a nice album tho, just thought he said it was futuristic r&b and I haven’t heard that in any of singles besides “Climax” smh

God love Usher because i cant with these whack ass songs. Looking 4 MySales is a bad album. Usher and Mimi are in the same boat. They had huge albums in 04/05 and a big lead single off the following album and its been a mess ever since. His pop singles are trash and his urban songs have suffered from his focus on making dance music. Smh

No they have both released quality albums afterwards. People keep saying release r&b music, but y’alls broke azzes still don’t buy it. “Climax” was his first single which is brilliant. Why didn’t y’all get the album?… That song is amazing… Y’all always talk about wanting great r&b music but don’t support it. Elle Varner, Miguel, Melanie Fiona….. They’ve all released great albums and y’all didn’t support them…

I didn’t buy it because the album is CRAP. Know what I DID buy? My Way, 8701, Confessions, Here I Stand…
But I’m deliberately not buying L4M, because I don’t approve of Usher’s selling out. I don’t want a 50/50 Pop-R&B album. If he gives me another album in the spirit of pre-Raymond vs. Raymond, I might consider it…but for as long as he continues to court the Katy Perry/One Direction crowd, I’m good on him.

I bet if Justin Bieber released “Right There” Feat. Drake as his next single, it wouldnt be called an “urban” single… as R&B as it is, it’d just be “his next single”.

the main problem with artists these days not just usher is that they promote only a few weeks before the album is released to get braggable first week numbers. then they get disappointed and leave the album to sink.
then again usher has gone through alot in his personal life.

I like Usher’s Dive over Trey’s Dive In. It should be interesting to see how they perform against each other.
