R&B artist Usher is preparing for the release of his highly anticipated album, tentatively entitled ‘Raymond vs. Raymond’. One of the tracks emerging from the ‘Papers’ singer’s recent studio sessions is the Danja-produced ‘Stay Down’. Usher’s LP is reportedly slated for a March 1st 2010 release after a slew of delays.
This is a great track for those fans who appreciate Usher’s dance-oriented material. Danja provided a tight play on the 80’s Pop melodies and combined it seamlessly with contemporary Urban beats. I expect Usher’s album to be framed around similar elements, especially given the direction that many of today’s artists such as Chris Brown, Lady GaGa and the Black Eyed Peas, have gone with their most recent material. Great stuff.
