Canadian Music Store Free Music Notes for My WayFree Music Review: Usher - My Way (3.5 Stars) See the biggest thing that kept this album from being something truly speacial, was its shortness. Given it only has 10 tracks, one being a remix of another track on the album, it just didnt leave you with enough matireal to really stick with you. But this album was definetly Ush's coming out party. He had a album before this one, but it went pretty much unnoticed and barely even charted. But with the help of three massive hit singles, the mid tempo dance song, "U make Me Wanna", the baby maker, "Nice & Slow", and the more danceable track and title track "My Way", he had a fan base wait for this album. Now, there are some great songs on this album. But there are also some songs that make me wonder. And when you only have a ten track album, that doesnt leave alot of room for error. One of the few good album tracks is "Bedtime" written and produced by the legend Babyface. Its another slow jam. Speaking of slow jams, "Slow Jam" with Monica, is another stellar track, but this song has more of a... well slow jam feel to it, not so much baby making feel. But where he goes wrong on this album is when he does songs like the attempted street banger "Just Like Me", where you can obviously tell that he was trying to come off as a thug on this song. And on "Comeback", you get teased really bad with the really sweet mellow piano intro, but then when the song starts up, it turns into another thug song. And then, i honestly dont under stand why he put the identical remix to "You Make Me Wanna" on this album. The only difference between the original and the remix is that the remix has a 50 second intro. Otherwise its the exact same song. But, overall this album isnt bad, it just doesnt establish Usher as more than just another R&B singer.
