\t\t\t\t\tUsher Talks 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show With Apple Music\u2019s Zane Lowe: Here Are\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tOn his first studio album since 2016\u2019s Hard II Love<\/em>, Usher serves up all the low-boil seductive jams you\u2019d expect, from the simmering not-together-but-it\u2019s-fine single \u201cGood Good<\/a>\u201d with Summer Walker and 21 Savage to the bubbling miss-you-much ballad \u201cKissing Strangers,\u201d on which he croons, \u201cHow we go from strangers kissing to kissing strangers?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter opening with the finger-snap, Michael Jackson-meets-Afrobeats Burna Boy collab \u201cComing Home,\u201d Usher shows love to his hometown in the Billy Joel-interpolating, Latto-featuring \u201cA-Town Girl,\u201d which flips the Piano Man\u2019s tony East Coast-repping 1983 hit \u201cUptown Girl\u201d into a dirty south homage to a woman who knows how to twerk and skate.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere is, of course, plenty of heartbreak (the brooding \u201cCold Blooded\u201d with The-Dream), disco-fueled confident swagger (\u201cBig\u201d), Eurosynth midtempo exhortations to keep the party going (\u201cKeep on Dancin’\u201d) and straight-up all-night-long sex jams (\u201cStone Kold Freak\u201d).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe collection is packed with a parade of guest vocalists and rappers, from the meditative H.E.R. collab on \u201cRisk It All\u201d from The Color Purple<\/em> soundtrack, to the seductive \u201cRuin<\/a>\u201d with Nigerian rapper\/producer Pheelz, on which serial seducer Usher laments that his ex \u201cruined me for everybody,\u201d even as he boasts that other women keep blowing up his phone. The album ends with the remix of Usher\u2019s collab with K-pop icon Jung Kook from BTS on the latter\u2019s earworm single, \u201cStanding Next to You<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd, not to worry, Ush has plenty of slow jams for those couple skates (\u201cI Love U,\u201d \u201cPlease U,\u201d \u201cLuckiest Man\u201d) on the collection as well. Super Bowl LVIII will take place on Feb. 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and air on CBS and stream on Paramount+, Sling TV, Hulu+Live TV and FuboTV.<\/p>\n
