Biography

"On this album, different things inspired me," says Usher. "Normally, I'm pulling from personal relationships and from older musical styles, but the things that motivated me this time were sounds and music that were very new and indie, like going to the Coachella festival or to Ibiza. I’ve traveled the world, toured nearly every continent—this phase of my life ... Read more in Amazon's Usher Store

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

On his third studio effort (and fourth overall), 22-year-old R&B/pop star Usher Raymond makes the not-so-simple transition from post-teen heartthrob to love man. He does it with solid songs and a generous helping of charisma and vocal acumen, making this much-delayed collection a hot summer treat. Usher is aided in his musical efforts by renowned hit-makers like the Neptunes, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (who deliver soaring ballads like "Can U Help Me"), Jermaine Dupri, and new jack Edmund Clement who penned the irresistible single "U Remind Me." With catchy tracks and emotive vocals, Usher revs up his sex quotient and unleashes a winning blend of street-honed jams and passionate love songs. --Amy Linden

4.0 out of 5 stars Usher, You GOT IT Great! December 30, 2001
Format:Audio CD
Okay, I'm going to admit, I was an USHer listener before this, but wasn't really into him. I thought he had too much ego when he first came out and later on with MY WAy, but I have been reformed. With talent like his and a cd like this, he has reason to think he's got it going on- b/c he does! This cd shows growth on so many levels concerning male r&b artist. Many times they lack in departments b/c their either too mushy, to thuggish, or to playa-like. Usher gives a balance of that with this album. Each song is deep and powerful with meaning and heart. Check it:
1.8701: Very decent opening, I passed it though
2.U Remind Me: You've heard, be the judge, but if you think it's the best dance track you are mistaken.
3. I Don't Know: Very hot and talks about how a guy wants a girl and doesn't want to play any games.
4.Twork it OUT: I LOVE THIS SONG!! It's so sensual and midtempo, not raunchy like many r&b love making songs, but sweet and innocent.
5.U GOT It Bad: Great song and wonderful message.
*** track: I don't know if you have one on yours but it talks about haters and such, very hot track.
6.If I want to: Very hot track which says how he could have this girl if he really wanted her. It's funny, b/c many guys try that approach.
7.I Can't let you Go: Usher sounds sexy on this song. Jermain D will have you bugging out.
8.U Don't Have to Call: Decent, but off beat from my veiw.
9 .Without U: This interlude is so precious!
10.Can U Help Me: The best ballad of the album. It's really pretty.
11.How Do I say: Spanish feel to it. It's aight
12.Hottest thing: Club song
13.Good Ol' Ghetto: Very hot song with r&b feel to it.
14.U-Turn: I don't like it
*** track: Another hot bonus track
15. U R The One: It's decent
*** Separated: Very Beautiful song with great words. I love it!
The reason I gave it a four instead of 5 was b/c I would of loved more ballads like Separated and Can U Help Me.
You'll love this cd!

3.0 out of 5 stars Kinda middle of the road for Usher's new cd October 15, 2001
By Haygn
Format:Audio CD
First, let me say that I am an Usher fan. Though I was not eagerly awaiting his new release, I did make a point to go to the record store the day of it's release and buy it. Although I was not necessarily disappointed, neither was I very impressed. The cd opens with the refreshing "U Remind Me"..the number one hit that radio seems to have tried to play out, but still remains at the top of everyone's individual playlists. The following track "I Don't Know" featuring P Diddy, seems contrived. It sounds too much like what EVERY R&B male is trying to do these days..we need less of these types of songs. Yet a standout track is the Neptunes produced "U Don't Have to Call" on which the artist really shines. The album does have its peaks. But conversely it does have it's valleys. Usher tries to show off his sensuality and proclaim that he is a sex symbol by at times being way too overtly sexual..almost perverse. Perhaps he should take a lesson from the ladies, Alicia Keys, Aaliyah and others an let the sexiness come from the image, rather than becoming lewd.

3.0 out of 5 stars GROWS ON U November 4, 2001
Format:Audio CD
GROWS ON YOU...That's exactly what Usher new album,8701,did to me."U Remind Me" was weak when I first heard it on the radio but
then a couple weeks went by and bam,it's stuck in my head.Even
the predictable Jermaine Dupri-produced ballad "U Got It Bad"
was one of my favorites on urban radio as time went by.
And guess what,that's exactly what 8701 did too:grow on me.
The Neptunes-produced "I Don't Know",featuring a unsuprisingly
weak P. Diddy,was sort of corny at first but the thumping
start-stop beat and "la la la la" refrain got me hooked.
Yet,that's not to say that 8701 doesn't have an instant
favorites.Among the best tracks is the breezy Neptunes confection
"U Don't Have To Call"-which also in it's vocal arragement pays
demure but pleasent tribute to Usher's hero Michal Jackson- and
the pretty Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis-helmed ballad "Can U Help Me"
(which ranks up high along with Force MD's "Tender Love" and
Janet's "Come Back To Me" among Jam & Lewis most acomplished
ballads).
So ultimatly,Usher's 8701 is a radio friendly yet satisfying
pop-R&B album,even if it's takes a couple of listens to figure
that out.
