Usher may have brought a screeching halt to the release of his new album, but that hasn’t stopped his hustle. Likely because most pre-release promo is booked in months in advance, but we digress…

The R&B superstar appears a-front of Fault Magazine‘s newest issue, posing for a striking cover and inside shot too.

Mr Raymond also opened up to the mag about his new music, upcoming Sugar Ray Leonard movie, and more.

Peep pics and quotes below…

On why he joined ‘The Voice’: “Part of the reason why I did ‘The Voice’ was so people would get a chance to get a different perception of me.”

On his experiences coaching on ‘The Voice’: “The more I know about life, the more I know about people, the greater the person I am, the more understanding I have about how to make music and how to do things that will grow us as people.”

On making the music he wants to make: “I don’t feel that I’ve got to sell out this tour, or sell crazy amounts of albums, or have the number one single. It’s great to have all those things, but that isn’t what I’m doing.”

On his new friendship with Sugar Ray Leonard (who he is playing in the new film ‘Hands of Stone’: “I spent time with him in Atlanta, and here in Los Angeles. We boxed together; we chilled. He became a great friend of mine, almost like a brother to me.”

On his new album: “The one thing the album represents is confidence. Not confidence in a cocky way, but being open about what I feel, take it or leave it. If I’m not honest about my feelings then you’ll never know how I really feel.”

    Oh Usher! The bigger they are, the harder they tend to fall. I’m so sorry to see that he’s becoming struggling Mariah’s male counterpart.

      Usher is performing at all the huge awards shows, starred on the voice and after 20 years he still poppin too the youth. Male Mariah I think not

    • JOHNVIDAL September 11, 2014

      Mariah´s career is obviously several times bigger though:)

      • #TeamUrsha September 11, 2014

        Her careers not bigger then usher right now. Despite his problems with singles he still performing everywhere because of his name alone

      • JOHNVIDAL September 12, 2014

        I think you don´t know the meaning of career, sorry. It´s not about now. I thought something like that was so f****** obvious. Wait for the fall and see how Mariah conquers singles charts all around the world without moving one finger once again, a la Adele. Just to give an example. Mariah´s career is so much bigger it´s not a question or something. It´s an obvious and universal fact.

    Faulty music and artistry. Makes sense.

  4. PeaceMaker September 10, 2014

    What He needs now is some controversy to stay relevant.

  5. There once was a pimp and his h**…. September 10, 2014

    I like him but he needs to take some risks with his craft. His vocals haven’t been anything special lately. His dancing is becoming too reminiscent of MJ. Also, his music hasn’t been interesting in a while. He really needs to incorporate a new sound and dance style.
    #That is all

    “I don’t feel that I’ve got to sell out this tour, or sell crazy amounts of albums, or have the number one single.

    He wouldn’t be saying this if he were able to do any of those three things.

    • Yo September 20, 2014

      He still can
