Usher‘s new album is receiving love from reviewers, but is proving ‘Hard II Love’ for consumers.

In a bid to turn the tide, the singer stopped by The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 today to chat about a whole host of topics.

Indeed, the ‘No Limit’ crooner dished on how his new project is for his R&B audience and how he’s not seeking crossover hits. He also waxed honest on whether he feels he’s appreciated, album sales, his new star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and more.

Watch the insightful interview after the jump…

Today brings with it the debut of the song’s official video.

A choreographed affair, the clip sees the R&B star turn all the way up – as she and her girls bring the scintillating bedroom banger to life visually.

Usher unleashed his eighth studio album ‘Hard II Love’ on the masses last week. And though the final tally has yet to be counted, the official sales forecast sent the net into a flutter.

For, the set – led by singles ‘Crash’ and ‘No Limit’ – is on course to debut with 25,000; the lowest US numbers of the crooner’s career.

Given the unforgiving nature of today’s age and the fickleness of select fans, some have deemed it “the end” for the 8-time Grammy winner.

We’re not so sure about that, but can’t distract from the fact that something is…off.

A$AP Ferg gets his remix action on this month.

How he does it?

By following in Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj‘s footsteps by taking on Young M.A‘s ‘Ooouuu.’

Hundred bands make the diamonds dance like Carlton Banks.Me and M.A. at the strip club blowing all these Franks.

His take on the number touches down on Planet Hip-Hop after sales of his ‘Always Strive and Prosper‘ LP peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200.
