So it makes sense now when Usher spits on DJ Khaled’s “Fed Up”, ‘ Cause man if I ain’t influenced you, you a liar‘. That would have made him 16 when he released his first album Usher, 19 when he released My Way and 23 when he released 8701. Usher was 26 when he released Confessions, which was his fourth studio album. Sure, he had had much success with his three prior albums let’s take a minute to reflect on that actually. Prior to the Confessions album, Usher had not being considered the real deal. The impact of this album can really only be truly defined right now at this moment when you can put it in the CD player of your car and reflect and reminiscence on how you felt then and how you feel now, while listening to the album.
So I would like to start by saying a big Congratulations to Usher. It’s strange how the understanding that this was done ten years ago, sheds a new light to how great Usher was back then and really still is.
I was 17, going on 18 and there was nothing I loved more than music and no artist I loved more than Usher. I have listened over and over again to this album, trying to write this piece and all I can say is ‘ Amazing‘. Can you believe that it’s been ten years since the release of Confessions?.
