Usher sends pulses racing in the new issue of The Cut.
Hitting newsstands as the chart-topper thrills on his ‘Past Present Future’ world tour, the issue also arrives just days before the superstar’s concert movie, ‘Usher: Rendezvous In Paris‘ lands in theaters worldwide on September 12.
Stripping down in a scintillating shoot lensed by Stevie Dance, the feature focuses on Usher’s status as the master of seduction.

On His Approach to Seduction While Performing:
“I say things that I think women would want to hear, that would make them feel good, seen, beautiful, as though a man is caring for this woman.
I don’t know if I’m intentionally doing it or I’m trying to remedy something.”
On Marriage Not Changing His Seductiveness on Stage:
“I dedicated my life to performing for you and entertaining you. I’m not gonna just leave because I get married.
If I want your time, your money, your access, your undivided attention, I want you to know that I see you, I feel you, I’m connecting with you in that moment. And this music has been able to connect us throughout all of these years. I fell in love with music before I fell in love.”
On His Methods of Seducing:
“When you sing in falsetto. It just does something different to women.”
