Usher, this is one talented singer. He first came out about 3 or 4 years ago with his debut single 'You Make Me Wanna', this was a number 1. Usher later released 'Nice & Slow' which didnt get as high but was still a success. He then didnt release anything for a while until earlier this year when he came back with the brilliant upbeat hit 'Pop Ya Collar' which got into the top 3. After 'Pop Ya Collar' he released about 2 weeks ago, 'U Remind Me', this then got to the top 5. He has always been a success here so when I heard he had released an album, straight away I knew I wanted to buy it. The album is r&b and a bit of rap featuring P Diddy in one of his songs. The album titled 8701 is number 1 in the album charts this week. The thing everyone has been talking about is why 8701? He has never explained that yet, if I met him that would be my first question to him. This album has a lot of hit singles on it and most songs with a message. I think anyone that has heard Usher and likes his music will enjoy this, but if you didnt really like his past singles then I don't think this would be the album for you.

Incidentally I saw an interview on MTV a few weeks ago where he said something about the 8701 meaning that he started his singing career in 1987 and it is now the year 2001! ~Deenie~
