He released a new album?!? 😮 Yes he did. You must listen to the whole album. It will be a classic like 8701, My Way, Confessions and RvR. Hopefully he has way more promo lined up and we get a lot of live performances on tv for Ruin, Kissing strangers and his other songs off Coming Home (expanded edition) album

Happy 20th anniversary to Confessions. Such a legendary album and era. The album is still legendary to this day. Can't believe 20 years went by since that mighty album released.

Coming Home is one of my favorite albums of the year! So many gems. I’m surprised he didn’t do a rerelease with Confessions. He’ll probably do it at the 25 year mark . It is also Raymond v Raymond’s anniversary too!
Ruin, Kissing Strangers, On the Side, Please U, BIG & A-Town Girl are my favs !

It's time Usher focuses on a new single for this album. It has to be a multiformat hit like Good Good. A music video and 1 live performance would have helped.
Ruin and Kissing strangers sadly did not do as well as Good Good. They deserved so much better and Ruin deserved to be a multiformat global hit.

Hope we get a new single soon. He probably doesn’t want to release or promote much further. This album was most likely just for the Super Bowl, his tour, and the fans to enjoy on our own.

I don't want some people to say that he is a nostalgic act. He is not a nostalgic act. Fortunately, he is capable of releasing new hit songs each era and he scored a better era than Hard to love era which was 8 years ago. If Kissing strangers and Ruin (which should have been a multiformat smash) both reached the top 15 on hot 100, performed better on streaming, radio and youtube, then this would have been the perfect era for Usher (imo). I want him to win so bad. He deserves so much better than this especially with all the promo he has done before the superbowl to get people excited about the album, and Past-Present-Future world tour. Why couldn't he have his Emancipation of Mimi comeback era moment? It has been far too long since Usher had a successful album era. His last time he was at the top was before he released Looking 4 Myself Album in 2012. I don't want to wait another 8 more years till this amazing musical legend releases an album. People have to realize that he is one of the all-time goats of R&B music. I'm hoping the tour will expand his legacy and we may get a re-release (with some new hit singles) for Usher's latest album.

I think he wants to be a legacy act, though. I feel the release of this album was him saying “I’m a legend, I can still make great music, my fans can enjoy it on their own, and I can go and just live my own life. I don’t have to, or want to do all the extra things anymore.”

Coming Home has so much potential. L4m and H2l were abandoned quickly. I know that he doesn't have to promote everywhere like he did in 1997-2011 but some promo will help. Hope for the best for this era b/c Kissing strangers and Ruin did not get the success Good Good rightfully deserved.

Back in 2021, Usher clearly stated that he doesn't want to be a legacy artist for his new album just yet. If he does that, I think that will affect his credibility and reputation if he abandons this era.
His tour this and next year is going to be massive, I can feel it. Hopefully, it will be a big boost to Coming Home era. When he started the "Truth tour and OMG tour", he re-released those projects with brand new hits and singles. Usher is going to do the same thing with Coming Home. He confirmed in an interview that part 2 to "Coming Home" is coming with new hit singles and future songs to promote for the album and era.
Usher's more focused on touring at this time and this is really his chance to prove himself.
I think if ruin and Kissing strangers (or a much stronger single after good good) were both released with music videos 1 month before the superbowl and album and were big crossover hits, the era would have been stronger for him.
We may also see another legendary feature too.

I love his current album. However is he personally making any money from it?? Nowadays I can kind of see why artists of his age isn’t going nuts promoting???? I hate saying it, but I don’t even think older artists are making any money at all from new albums. Did it do anything WW??

I hate saying it, but I don’t even think older artists are making any money at all from new albums. Did it do anything WW?? I'm not sure about the money. I think streaming, itunes, and internet has to do with artists having lack of promo these days. I am sure we will know more about his worldwide numbers, since I am not sure how it performed ww. I think older artists are benefitting way more to promote their albums on touring and I think Usher's upcoming tour is going to be a legendary one for the star since it seems to be a much bigger focus for him compared to his past 2 eras (l4m and H2l). Take into consideration, he cancelled touring during l4m era and there was no tour for h2l b/c h2l era ended way too fast in less than 2 months sadly.
