The constant “we want another OMG” comments needs to be checked with reality. It’s not going to happen. He’s an independent artist who’s doing what he wants. Not what a record label thinks would be best for him. Mind you, OMG alienated a huge part of his base. And Yeah! wasn’t even supposed to make the cut of Confessions. It was a leak that grew organically in clubs and radio stations to the point where he and his team had no choice but to hold off on releasing “Burn,” and push “Yeah!”
popstyle Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) This isnt good. The superbowl is 2 weeks away you would think they would release something better to draw in hype. Edited February 1 by popstyle

Cbreezy Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Ok...so my sentiment sits somewhere between what y'all are saying. He's smart to be anchoring himself so directly in R&B. Dare I say even AC R&B. It washes away some of the "Usher went EDM" ish that has clouded him since 2010. At the same time, he needs/needed to drop something with more umph and urgency heading into the Super Bowl if he really wants to seize the moment and the hype for new music. I have no doubts he will slay Halftime, but I'm starting to worry that it will be a "contained' moment and not really benefit the music in the way it can. Wondering aloud whether he will drop multiple videos between now and Halftime, maybe right after. Will help his first week streams and give him a nice pool of content for curiosity spill from Halftime. THIS is the title track, which sounds a little more aligned with what I'd expect him to drop heading into Halftime:

I wish that was what he was doing … but now he’s just hopping from trend to trend. First it was the Standing Next to You Remix and now he’s put out an Afrobeats song… I’m hoping there’s some actual R&B on the record.
Stankonia Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Y'all ok? This is so good I didn't expect him to pull off afrobeats so well, the vocal is so pretty It's making me more excited for the album 1
Nashe Posted February 2 Posted February 2 the music video ahhh I'm so in love I knew he could deliver way better stuff than that mediocre Boyfriend bs
SoJro101 Posted February 2 Posted February 2 This is great! LOVE the lane he's been crafting sonically. This will no doubt be a huge urban radio smash. This will definitely reach its intended general audience by summer if pushed.

First it was the Standing Next to You Remix and now he’s put out an Afrobeats song… I’m hoping there’s some actual R&B on the record. I hear you and to be (totally) honest, I'm slyly kinda concerned that he touted this whole "Coming Home" as being more about R&B and ATL sound (peach on cover) and yet this is Afrobeats, the title track seems to follow-suit a lil, and that Jung Kook track is outright Pop. Luckily (ish) for him, he's still rebuilding musically (compared to say a Beyonce, who folk hold to a particular standard). So I don't think he'll get too much drama if the album is a jukebox of sounds (so long as its not EDM).
Truth Teller Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Love the main line & lyric, that "ruin me for everybodyyy" 2x. So smooth and warm and instantly catchy. And I LOVE Pheelz verse. But there's really not much else there and he could have kept the belting and the adlibs. It's a good song though. I hear Brandy on this btw. 1
Unbeyleivable Posted February 2 Posted February 2 This is cute/solid. He should’ve released something that hit a little harder ahead of the Super Bowl, but maybe they’re saving that kind of song for album release week?
sweetkiss Posted February 3 Posted February 3 song is amazing, 10/10, its also on trend i just hate the video, ill pretend i didnt see it
Flocon Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Great song ! The MV is really cool too ! But, I was wondering, why is he called "USHER" and not "Usher" I hate those capital letters stylized artist names
TryMe Posted February 4 Posted February 4 I have grown to like the song more. His is voice is heavenly on this song. Can't believe the MV is shot on the next Iphone.
