“This couldn’t have come at a better time - to be able to bring people from all over the world to Las Vegas to come see me at The Colosseum is really a treat for me and hopefully, you know, just for everybody to celebrate. Regardless, with a pretty understated Dupri production and a powerful Chris Robinson-directed video accompanying this, its no wonder that 04 was Ushers year. Many wondered aloud if this was based on his real-life escapades. The residency, which he headlines at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in July, will hold fans over until the album arrives. It was 'Confessions (Part 2)', which had the most personal lyrics that hed ever recorded and co-written. He admits that the pandemic postponed his plans to start his residency and subsequently release his sequel album. But before it does, I’ll see you guys at my Vegas residency.” The last we’ve heard of the eight-time Grammy award-winning singer was in 2019 when he teased a snippet of his new music during a recording session with producer Jermaine Dupri, who worked heavily on the seminal project. Mentioning that he spent most of pandemic lockdown recording new music, he continued, “If this is an exclusive, I’m letting you know that the album is officially coming this year.
“I’m ready to drop my album,” the 42-year-old said to the Associated Press on Thursday at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. Seventeen years and much anticipation later, Usher is finally giving us the sequel to his sensational heyday. 1 hits with “Confessions,” “Yeah!” “Burn,” and “Confessions Part II,” the candidly honest album scaled the industry’s ranks as one of the most bestselling projects of all time - remarkably selling over a million copies in the first week at a time where illegal file-sharing rocked the industry and left record labels and musicians scrambling. Transposing steamy diary entries into both heartrending and jaw-dropping lyrics, Usher’s 2004 Confessions album skyrocketed him across the charts as the lover boy we’ve all dated (or wanted to date) and largely birthed his legacy as the R&B blueprint for acts to come.
