    I would agree if his earlier albums weren't so damn amazing, but that's okay.

    his skills unfortunately outweigh the actual songs if that makes sense, he needs to make a 'warm' sounding project

    Why do you post like you’re posting facts?

    It’s always some trash opinion

  • Oct 8, 2023

    There’s no reason to ever talk about any r&b made after 2010

    Probably the most tragic death of a music genre ever

    UR! I loved that brief era from him. Shame he scrapped it. I Don't Mind, Good Kisser, & She Came To Give It To You is a 3peat. I think a good 14-15 song album from him like that would go crazy.

    You blame Usher for that exlusively? Every R&B artist had to do that

    Nah fam,

    Here I Stand wasn't a bad album. Matter fact, pretty underrated looking back. The problem was that Usher went deep into the Adult Contemporary R&B territory with that album, which led to mixed opinions and heavy hate from fans

    That's when he had to make Raymond V Raymond, which had him on track Pop wise, but he slowly moved away from R&B.

    That resulted in Looking 4 Myself killing off his R&B Audience in 2012.
    Also let's not forget what happened the 4 years when Usher was on hiatus:

    Chris Brown coming out and took the R&B World by storm

    Justin Timberlake released one of the best Pop/R&B projects ever made

    And T-Pain completely changing Hip-hop and R&B forever with the use of Autotune

    Then you had artists like The Dream, J. Holiday, Lloyd, Omarion, Jamie Foxx, Ne-Yo, Robin Thicke, and Trey Songz.

    They all had major hits and great projects during the late 2000s and had a lot of room to gain bigger fanbase during this time.

    So Usher had to compete for this, and sadly he couldn't capitalize.

    By 2010 imo, that's where R&B started to truly die, because CB was on top, and his sound started to transition into more Pop sound. Big examples is F.A.M.E. and Fortune.

    The Early 2010s (besides Weeknd, Frank, Miguel) was full of that EDM s***, while the late 2000s still had a bunch of banger albums.
