We’re just going to go ahead and say, Usher’s Raymond vs. Raymond is 2010′s Fantasy Ride. All of the album has practically leaked long before the album will hit music outlets. Whilst the album is pretty decent all the anticipation is spoiled.
Will Usher’s career ever reach the height during the Confessions era or was that its peak? When “Love In This Club” first leaked back in early 2008 we thought hey, Usher is continuing the successful streak then the rest of Here I Stand landed and we were underwhelmed. Rush a year and a half later and the so-called first single, “Papers,” for the Raymond vs. Raymond era hit. The song was reminiscent of some of the songs from the Confession era and we thought okay Usher is cooking again. A few album push backs and countless album leaks later and it seems Usher needs to reevaluate everything musical.
Take a listen to two new leaked tracks: The Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced “Lingerie” and The Stereotypes produced “Somebody to Love.”
