Perhaps on his next album he will use You and confound us all even further.ĭrew Millard is reading way too into this. But Usher's waffling is disturbing to me. I understand that Usher probably isn't thinking about this too hard, and maybe he isn't even the one who writes his own tracklists down and that a long tradition of artists from Prince to Tupac replace You with U and no one batted an eye. ![]() ![]() Usher's success increased in 2004, with the release of his fourth studio album Confessions. Its worldwide sales stand at over 8 million. In 2002, the album was certified four-times platinum in the US for sales of 4 million copies. Raymond, only to return to the U on Looking 4 Myself. The album produced two number-one singles'U Remind Me' and 'U Got It Bad'. Usher would waffle on the U/You dichotomy throughout his career, using it only once on his follow-up Confessions, making up for his lack of U-Songs with a Shyne jail phone verse on the "Confessions Part II" remix, and then dropping it for Here I Stand and Raymond Vs. I get that Usher's name starts with U and so that's probably why he did this, but the fact that he did it EIGHT TIMES on one single album makes it jarring and hilarious (as is the proto-spelling of "Twerk" in "Twork it Out).

U replaces every instance of the word You in the 8701 tracklist, like Usher's adhering to a style guide that only he, Tupac, and Prince have access to. Usher's name, quite obviously, starts with U. Chart-topping R&B loverman with one of the best voices in modern music, and songwriting that ranges from club jams to tender confessionals. ![]() But now for the album After quite a lot was promised me from all sides that this album is better than Confessions and his was the best ever, my. Usher, Jadakiss : Throwback (featuring Jadakiss) (00:04:46) 04. To me, Burn is the centerpiece of the album, and there arent many songs that bring me back to that time as much as Burn does. Confessions song from the album Confessions (Expanded Edition) is released on Mar 2004. After speculating here diligent about the tracklist and I did not want beteildigen because now I say in my Rezi what to. Let's consider the use of the letter U here. Usher, Lil Jon, Ludacris : Yeah (00:04:10) 03.
