That Grape Juice has exclusively learned that Usher is set to release ‘More’ as the next single from his Platinum selling comeback ‘Raymond vs Raymond’.

As at writing, the club-destined anthem is to serve as his next UK / International offering, with intentions for the track Stateside currently unknown.

The R&B crooner is evidently looking to keep the party going, given the striking similarity of ‘More’ to the LP’s earlier hits ‘OMG’ and ‘DJ Got Us Falling In Love’. That said, for variety sake, it may have perhaps been a better call to see the lush ‘Make Love Into The Night’ afforded the single treatment.

In any case, (for those who missed it months ago) check out Usher’s shows-stopping performance of the song at the NBA  All Stars game …
