The next Michael Jackson

Review Score:

(2/10)
Usher has been in the game long enough to know that you can't just put together a record with all slow or all fast songs. During the recording of '8701,' Usher did more than adding variety. He added his own style to every track and makes original hits. This album has yet to disappoint me. The cd starts out with a mellow intro and goes into 'U Remind Me' and 'I Don't Know;' two uptempo songs with one featuring P. Diddy. Then it goes into some of my favorite songs on the album. 'Twork It Out,' 'U Got It Bad,' and 'If I Want To.' The production on the album is great and the instruments used add details to the background music that makes solid tracks back-to-back. The best slow jam on the album, in my opinion, would have to be 'Can U Help Me.' It starts off with easy vocals and a piano and the song goes from there; and also shows how well Usher can hit those high notes. If there are any doubts about checking this album out, I would completely forget them. If you are an Usher fan or of good R&B in general, this is definetly a good, solid R&B record to add to your collection.
