Looking 4 Myself would do FANTASTIC on urban. Even OMG went top 10 on urban, so Looking 4 Myself definitely can. There's no point in splitting singles when they can crossover to both formats.

The only songs on the album that he can't send to urban are Euphoria and Numb. Everything else will get played on urban.

Twisted - What kind of newfound love that I have for it now. I use to pay it dust and bash it.

Still jammin out to Say The Words, he really needs to release that song as a single

[rogueguy]

I finally got in to Hot Thing, I don't know why I slept on it before but I like

Also feeling Can't Stop Won't Stop at the moment

I agree! IFU needs to get released too, such a perfect smash

[Katamari]

I was requesting songs from Mediabase and I saw Euphoria there. This song really should have been released instead of Scream. It sounds fresh

THIS! I honestly think that the only way Usher, Nicki, or Chris will ever have another (or first) #1 single is if they produce a song that can successfully crossover to multiple formats. Straight up pop songs might do it, but it will be hard to get that extra airplay from the urban and alternative stations. Conversely, pure R&B/Hip-Hop songs won't do it either because every other format is hesitant when it comes to that type of music.

This is why I think Looking 4 Myself should have been released as the lead single, because I can see urban, pop, and maybe even some alternative stations playing it. And because that doesn't sound like a "sell-out" song, his core audience would have been pleased as well.

Finally bought the album and downloaded the I.F.U. dirty edit.

Climax, of course is the album's gem.

But I also love I Care for U, Show Me, Twisted, Looking 4 Myself, and Euphoria. This album is definitely one of the best I've heard this year.

you spilled the true tea sis but you left out the flawless jams "cant stop wont stop" and "numb" those songs need to be singles quickly.

[newwil7l]

Does anyone know if numb will be released as a single

[Rigalo]

This is soooo in my top 3 albums of this year so far. It's amazing. The only song I can't get into is STW. That song is trash.

Exactly how I feel.

I had some trouble getting into Sins of My Father, but the bridge on that song is great.

[rogueguy]

Say The Words is a gorgeous track, y'all need to stop

Only song I don't like is 2nd Round, terrible. I rarely use Sins Of My Father either.

Say The Words is a wonderful nostalgic track that reminds me of Prince, I even made a youtube video to that song His voice ***** on that song
He needs to release Euphoria, Looking 4 Myself, Twisted, Lessons for the Lover, Say The Words, I.F.U, Sins of My Father

I agree. That's how they got all their other #1s, by releasing urban songs as pop singles (or releasing a dance song with urban elements). Usher needs to do it again.

This means no Euphoria or Numb as singles, but I'm pretty sure he'll release them.

Am I the only one that noticed that he's been really low key this whole entire era?

Yeah. But to be fair to him, everything seems low key compared to the Confessions era lol.

Also, it's probably partly because he hasn't had a massive hit in this one. Previously he had OMG, and before that he had Love in This Club, both of which finished in the top 10 songs of the year. Whilst Scream, will be much lower than those songs.

He is going through a lot: custody battle, stalker battle, his stepson is now brain dead
He is also rehearsing for his movie with De Niro.

He shot the "Dive" video last week.

I think that we will have more promo at the end of the summer.
