Interview - The Last Soul Man
R&B master stumps for the old school. He talks about break-up songs, pop's shock value, and getting crunky with it.
It was once suggested that young Usher Raymond might be the successor to Michael Jackson, but it's clear he's gone much further than that. Usher is the total soul man package: a sweet voice, hip dance moves and a chest more ripped than a He-Man action figure. Since 1993, he's been a chart mainstay, with a string of hits that include "U Got It Bad," "U Remind Me" and "U Don't Have to Call …"
His new single "Yeah" gives the letter U stuff a rest, but its blend of R&B and Atlanta's "crunk" sound has continued Usher's chart reign. Lil Jon and Ludacris help out on the club-friendly hit, but the forthcoming album Confessions tones down the party vibe - this time out Usher's involved in some introspection. Inspired by his recent split with TLC's Chilli, the singer gets pained and passionate on songs like "Burn."
Helped by an army of marquee producers that includes the Neptunes and Jam & Lewis, Usher is staying up with the trends while digging deep into the essentials of great soul music. He told VH1 about his fitness regimen, his take of the Janet Jackson scandal, and why it's time R&B went back to basics. Read More
