New Music! Usher - Here I Stand (New Link)


After all of the success Usher had with his "Confessions" cd, no one could blame the man for taking a break. While he was gone, we've seen a few people come around & try to fill his shoes. Chris Brown & Ne-Yo come to mind, but they are NOT Usher. "Here I Stand" is definitely not a carbon copy of "Confessions", but he's back & most importantly, no matter who comes along, there's only 1 Usher! This cd is a bit more mature - meaning he sings a lot more about sex! It's a bit ironic that so many are trying to be the next Usher, but in listening to this disc, I'm wondering if Usher may want to be the next R. Kelly (o.k., he doesn't take it quite as far as R. Kelly does, but he comes close). With a cd filled with radio hits & love-making tunes, I felt the most touching song was track #7, the "Prayer For You (Interlude). In the time that he's been gone, Usher has gotten married & become a father. It was so incredibly nice to hear something so personal from a man that has definitely grown as an artist, he's a true class act. Overall, "Here I Stand" is more than worthy of your purchase and does not disappoint!

Nas CD Name Change!!!


Nas, whose new upcoming cd's title sparked a lot of rage because of its controversial name, has decided to change it's name to "Nas". Nas and his record label, Def Jam, encountered a lot of obstacles and pressure from music fans, record stores, and the media, from announcing last October that he was going to name his cd the "N" word. The cd is due to be released on July 1, 2008. source

New Music -Usher ft. Jay-Z "Best Thing"



Here is a new track from Usher's upcoming cd called "Best Thing" and it features Jay-Z on it. The song is a laid back, underground style, hip hop track with smooth vocals from both artists. You can feel the swagga from both artists on this track and the chemistry is there as these two friends create a pretty good single for their fans. In my opinion it is not as good a club banger as, "Love in the Club", previously released by Usher, but it is ok.
