Raymond v. Raymond Overviews
2010 release, the seventh album from the multi-million selling R&B artist. Following the success of his platinum selling 2008 release Here I Stand, Raymond v Raymond takes you on a journey through the dichotomy of man. Raymond v Raymond opens up another chapter of Usher's coming of age as he tells the story of balancing the challenges of day to day life as an evolving man while jumping back on the scene as a sex symbol and fearless superstar entertainer. With the help of some of the biggest producers in music including Polow Da Don, Jim Jonsin (Lollipop), Danja (Sober), and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Raymond v Raymond is sure to paint a vivid portrait of growth, triumph, defeat and happiness.
Customer Review
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 think you will be, too.
Mikeisha's Top 5

2. "Lil' Freak"
3. "There Goes My Baby"
4. "Mars vs. Venus"
5. "Papers"
Usher review - Rico D. Baskett - hillsborough,nj usa
I have been following Usher throughtout his career. This is probably one of his best albums. Certain artist seem to repeat past hits in another way, but Usher has out done himself on this one. He's professionally maturing with his music as his career takes off to the next level.
I hate that its edited! - Robyn Armstrong - Texas
I love usher and have most of his CDs but I guess I wasn't paying attention that this CD is edited...
Really brings down a bunnnnch of his songs and it frustrates me.
BUT he is still a wonderful artist who knows what he's doing, he keeps up with the times extremely well and I have no issues with his actual music
Usher - D. Moore - Houston, TX
I wasn't always a big fan of Usher, however I really enjoyed this cd. He has really matured! GO USHER!
