I admit I have a 'little' thing for Usher! Well actually a rather 'HUGE' crush on him! He is so incredibly lovely and he now has a matching album to go with his charming looks, a charming album named '8701'!!!
This album is Ushers second now, it has been out for quite a while now and I know many, many people who have this album, mates from both sexes find this as a 'have to have' CD in your collection! I have owned this CD for a while now and listen to it 24/7 (you may think I'm sad but it is basically that good!)
Whats so 'UsHeRLiCiOuS' about this '8701' then hey!?
usher 8701
1. The album is introduced with an 'Interlude' The Interlude to '8701' It's short and snappy but tuneful and a great introduction to the album.
2. U Remind Me - Usher released this song so is most probably well known to most. Its a great track and you can see why it has been released. It is interesting, catchy and pure RnB at it's best.
3. I Don't Know (featuring P. Diddy) - This is more 'RAP' style, a slight twist to the album, a fab duet with the one and only P.diddy really adds even more class to the '8701' album.
4. Twork It Out - The first real slow song to the album, a great one at that. Very moving, loving but also catchy and keeps with a beat, great to listen to, a great dancy party song too although you may not imagine it!
5. U Got It Bad - Ushers latest single off the album and probably his last, a v.slow song which is so lovely. This is one of my faves off the CD overall, the video is superb as well. The song is about how 'U Get It Bad' when your in love. ~ A v.beautiful love song which I cherish. Also a good party track!
6. If I Want To - Back to the more upbeat hard stuff on the album, a pretty damn good track too! ~ As of most on the album though!
7. I Can't Let U Go U - A fab song, 1 of the best upbeat tracks on the album! A fave of mine too! all about being obsessed and not being able to let go!
8. Don't Have To Call - This is another pretty good track but not 1 of Ushers spectaculars!
9. Without U (Interlude) - Used as the interlude, this track is superb, this will be stuck in your mind for a long time.
10. Can U Help Me - This always stays in my head, a real good track with real thought provoking lyrics. A song you will enjoy listening to as you relax.
11. How Do I Say - A slower song again, another good one too! all about how to say certain things to a girl. Here you see the much caring side and softer side of Usher!
12. Hottest Thing - I like this track very much, this song is all about being in a club, really gets you in the mood for going out!
13. Good Ol' Ghetto - Another good old party track, very catchy and rythemic (If thats such a word!!?) A good song you will enjoy listening to!
14. U-Turn - This is pure Usher at his best, another personal favourite, this track blatantly ROCKS! V.catchy and stylish and easy to sing along to.
15. U R The One - A great ending to the superb album, a memorable track but I do find it quite sad to listen to, it is slow and very moving. As I said before, a great ending to a superbly put together and performed album.
Overall this is one of my favourite albums, probably my most listened to and my most cherished for I love Usher soooo incredibly much and this album is just all I could of ever asked for! Many people I know love and cherish this album just like me, its great to listen to, it can be calming and relaxing as well as great for partying and all that! This is also a great CD to listen to just for when you are getting ready to go outfor the night! Overall this album has to have a TOP 10/10, I love it!!! Hope I've helped everyone out there, any questions please email me on kissylips6@hotmail.com, I'll answer anything to do with Usher! thanks for reading, v.grateful, Best wishes emmaxXx :0)

You certainly know your Usher. I liked his stuff when he was 14. David Beckham is a friend of his. Also Hannah of S Club 7 plays his stuff every time she is in a bad mood. Your music ops are superb...Paul

Fantastic op! Do you know why his album is called 8701? I have no idea. It is a bit weird for an album name isn't it. Usher is great, but I haven't got his album yet. Might get it soon though. Gary.
