Free Music Review: "I'M HOPING THAT THIS IS AINT TOO HARD TO BELIEVE...
Hit: 4 Stars
With any artist, it is hard to follow up a classic. Once your have hit your ceiling, how do you stay relevant? Usher choose to reinvent himself. On "Here I Stand" he shows a more grown up vibe. A married man with a new son. He stopped gyrating woman and humping the stage to deliver a softer more adult side.
When comparing this album, I ask that you not compare it to "Confessions". I'd compare it more to R.Kelly "12 Play". With songs like "Trading Places", "Love Me Gently" and "Love In The Club", Usher delivers sex reminiscent of the way R. Kelly did back in 93. Then Usher shows his more mature side on "Moving Mountains"," Something Special" and "His Mistakes" and the "Prayer For You" interlude is dedicated to his newly born son. But this is not a perfect album, "Whats Your Name" is horrible. I know its produced by will.i.am, but it should not have made the cut. And "Best Thing" misses the mark with a weak 16 from Jay-Z. But Usher bounces back with the outstanding title track. In it he shows growth that would never have been on his previous work.
Your only as good as your last album. That's the music industry motto. When Usher released "Confessions", he raised the bar on any of his previous work. It is his most complete work and highest selling CD to date. But what it failed to do was show much growth for Usher as an artist. Too me he just perfected what he was good at before. But I believe that if Usher can find a way to blend the hip hop vibe from "Confessions" with the mature side of "Here I Stand", we will be in store for another classic R & B album.
