I love how the title of this album relates to Usher's impending divorce with Tameka Raymond. Slick move, Usher. Slick move, my brother. Usher has never released a bad album, period. All of his works are solid, so he has set a bar for himself because so many artists aren't this consistent. "Raymond v. Raymond" is no exception; I'm impressed. This album has a futuristic feel to it, but that's all right because the futuristic sound usually makes an album distinctive.
Usher calls upon some top notch producers for this album. Here we have Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and Polow the Don, among others. Released to radio were "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)", "O.M.G.", "Lil' Freak", "There Goes My Baby" and "Papers." Now, this many songs released to radio is a sign that the album is successful because record companies are not going to continue to send music from an album if no one is listening to it or enjoying it. "Papers" is the only song which speaks directly about his impending divorce. It can be painful to listen to because the tone in his voice is emotional and it hurts to hear him say that he "damn near lost his mamma." "O.M.G." is a catchy number, a track that seems to be more so for the younger generation. I like it, though, as do many of my peers who are also in their twenties. I like what Usher did with "Make Love (Into the Night.) He remade the song, but changed the lyrics and the outcome is a fine one.
Add this album to your collection. I was entertained And you will be with
