Usher was in the UK recently to perform on the BBCs Radio 1 Big Weekend. During his set, he performed new music from his new album, Here I Stand. Also while in the UK, he sat down to talk candidly with Tim Westwood about his album, life in the closet (ha ha I added that one for shits and giggles) and how things have changed since the release of his "Confessions".
Usher discussed that since the last album he has been devoting time to his non-profit foundation, his marriage to Maneka and her artificial spermination, plus joined the musical Chicago on Broadway. “I started a label… a lot has changed,” Usher said, “Over a year and a half of recording allowed me to really tell the story that I felt was necessary for this day and time as well as where I am in my life. What I wanted to talk about was a lot of those personal experiences.”
Will.i.am, Polow Da Don and Jermaine Dupri will produce on the album as well as guest spots from Young Jeezy, Lil’ Wayne and Beyoncé. “The story I’m telling on this album [are] based off the decisions I made; I took a stance that was against the norm,” Usher said. “When you find your mate for life, you feel something. Dealing with that and manning up in that is a lot.” Here I Stand lands in stores May 30th via Jive Records. He will also perform on Tuesday's finale of "Dancing With The Stars."
Whatever Miss Honey. We kids all know what's really good, if you know what I'm saying and I think y'all do!
