It’s Usher season!
Because fresh from being unveiled as the headliner of the Apple Music Super Bowl 2024 Halftime Show, the R&B icon has announced his brand new studio album ‘Coming Home.’
Full story below…
Moments ago, Apple Music – the banner sponsor of the Halftime Show – went live with the pre-order for the LP.
Set for release on the same day as Usher’s extravaganza (February 11), the album clocks in at 20 tracks and includes his recent hit ‘Good Good’ featuring Summer Walker and 21 Savage.
Hotly anticipated, the project – which is being released via the superstar’s new imprint mega (in partnership with Gamma) – serves as his first solo offering since 2016’s ‘Hard II Love.’
Speaking on the album, Usher:
“We’ve put a lot of thought and creativity into this new album to tell a story that is open to interpretation and that will connect with people in different ways. I know this has been a long time coming for my fans and what I’ll say is that all good things come to those who wait. I hope you enjoy it once you hear it.”
“Usher is one of the greatest superstars of our time. His undeniable talent, work ethic and charisma has sustained an incredibly successful career for over 30 years in the business, an achievement not to be taken lightly. Our history of working with each other made putting this body of work together a true passion project and I’m proud to be by his side as he reveals it to the world on February 11.”
Larry Jackson, gamma Founder, concluded:
“I’ve known Usher since we met as teenagers in 1997. I’ve counted him as a friend since then. I’ve also watched him work indefatigably hard over the past thirty years to turn into the global superstar that he is today. Now, I could not be more excited to welcome him and the legendary L.A. Reid to gamma. with mega! Usher left the conventional system, bet on himself, and signed himself to himself. Wow. I hope that it’s an example for other major artists to come. Usher and L.A. are true music pioneers and their attention to detail for creative excellence is exceptional. We’ve been having so much fun already and I am truly excited for what’s to come. It’s amazing to see the new music explode onto urban and pop radio in the U.S., and globally as well.”

Suffice it to say, Mr. Raymand has an amazing launchpad for the LP in the Super Bowl and is clearly set to use to savvily. We love to see it!
The Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show will take place at the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada on February 11, 2024 and will air live on CBS.

Usher has his Era in music. The Confession Album was his last good album; everything after that was mähhh.
He has problems getting to the next level soundwise and contentwise; he always turns into circles, which is similar to many artists in the industry.
He tries to keep up with the you gens instead of creating an untouchable lane. There will be just one Michael Jackson he was that untouchable artist.
Looking like another homemade mixtape job like Pink Friday 2. Drop both projects on datpiff.com and call it a day.
