Review

    Monster might as well be what Jive is hoping Usher's sixth album becomes on the charts, since his last album, 2008's Here I Stand was a disappointment since his prior album, Confessions, spawned a handful of singles that will stand among this decade's most played and was at Number 1 for half of a year, while Here I Stand nosedived off the charts after huge first week sales. Indications are pointing to Monster being a Confessions-like self-confessional as Usher is dealing with a divorce from his wife Tameka Foster, much like he was dealing with a high-profile break-up with Chilli of TLC pre-Confessions. Maybe dude got married solely to have artistic inspiration for a new album if things went south.

    The album title came from the track "Monster" on the album that was written by Daron Jones of 112. The lyrics to the chorus are: And I didn't wanna play the game because that aint who my momma raised, Now its to late to change you made a monster out of me

    Cutepie/Khadijah: According to what I heard, his album should be coming out with the next couple years of before the year is over. If not then then early next year

    As you now know the album has been titled Raymond vs - Raymond. I've heard the entire album and it's on lock. I'm feelin this track called Enchanted and Get My Swagg Back.

    TaSauna

    The name of the album is Raymond vs Raymond and the album has been pushed back 2 dec. 21st and enchanted and get my swagg back are not on the album... the album was suppose to come out earlier in the yr around the time his wife had complications. so that's where them songs come from

    PJ

    So which is the name of the Album....monster or Raymond v Raymond

    Chelsea

    It's 'Raymond V. Raymond.' It's being edited in the abstract above.

    Quinton Jones

    I have ur new album usher and trust me, its gonna b # 1 for a very long time.. despite what any1 said about here i stand, i love that album. it showed another side to you that most people aren't use to thats y som of them dont like it. Tht allbum showed how things changed in ur life when u got married and when you had ur son. it showed how u changed when those 2 things happened.i was routing for you and tameika but i guess it wasn't ment to be. wish u all the best and even though that didn't work, she gave u 2 beautiful gifts..... .... ur sons.

    Na-Sasha

    I truly adore Usher ever since i was a young little girl. His music inspired me to love and to show that people make mistakes!! I love all of his albums and hope that he keeps it coming because he has a story to tell everytime!! Keep it up Usher!! Your fans love you!!!

    Nia Webb

    Usher is the greatest, I love everything he puts out. Here I Stand was a great album, it showed a mature side of Usher. Many fans don't realize, he has to go through stages in life and grow up just like them, but in the public eye. I have heard Raymond vs. Raymond and it's on fire. If you are hearing Usher's album early, before it's scheduled release, please make sure you buy the actual album when it hit the stores in March 2010. We have to support the artist, if we are true fans. Raymond vs Raymond is already in the bag for me, you can pre-order it on amazon.com. Yeahhhhhh, Man:)

    Sequilla Mullen

    I agree with you Sequila, Ive heard a good bit of songs but you best believe me that I am coppin this album. I am going to support Usher (The God Son of Soul), (The King of R&B) and possibly (The New King Of Pop) no matter what. I am a true fan and i cant for it to drop in the U.S.

    New album cover added.

    I am waitin for the new album to come out.. I live in Costa Rica and I want it to be in the stores right now.. BTW.. IN MY OPINION HERE I STAND IS THE BEST BEST BEST BEST CD from Usher.. it isn't the typical sound we are used to, but it is really good. I can compare it to Marvin Gaye or Luther V. LOVE IT

    MIchael Calderon

    CAN SOMEONE TELL WHAT SAMPLE IS THAT HE IS USING IN THE SONG "LITTLE FREAK" F/ NIKKI...I CAN'T PUT MY FINGER ON...HUM...LOVE THE SONG...

    Lilsunshineb4u

    o-dog

    I got the album, its soooo not what i was expecting..

    Usher u are the best. U may not have a hit right now but don't worry ur songs are still slowly gaining airplay this is a sign of success. U don't have to have a lead single come out then 2 months later ur album releases. As long as you release the album and all the fans start playing omg, Hey daddy and little freak in all radio stations that's fine too (remember Ne-Yo's Year of the gentleman, that song closer it released in July and it did not make an impact till around the time that album came out in September, so around that time "closer" and "miss independent" started becoming popular.)

    The same thing will happen to Omg, little freak and Hey daddy. The era started out rough and cruel but you will make it and when the public listen 2 ur album they will fall in love with it and play ur new stuff like crazy. I am praying for your return because ur the rnb singer of our last generation and this one too. Everyone will eventually fall in love w/u again.
