Worthy Companion Piece,
By Derrick Dunn "The Realest DJ" (Woodbridge,VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Versus (Audio CD)
After 2008'S underrated Here I Stand, Usher returned this past spring with the double platinum selling Raymond Vs. Raymond. With the club bangers Lil Freak, the pop orientated OMG and the slow jam There Goes impacting radio, Usher was ready to reclaim his thrown as the King Of R&B/Pop. With Versus, Usher displays more of the lover man swagger that was evident on Raymond Vs. Raymond, gone is the married father who sang about being a one woman man on tracks like Here I Stand & Something Special from 2008's Here I Stand. On tracks such as Hot Tottie feat Jay-Z and the album's opener Love Em' All, Usher croons about his love for all of the ladies. Unlike the recent albums from Dru Hill & R. Kelly, Usher doesn't use the voice box, instead he lets his natural do what it does best. My only complaint with the album is the reuse of There Goes My Baby from Raymond Vs. Raymond, Usher could have easily given another slow cut to go along with the excellent Lay You Down. Versus is a worthy companion piece to Raymond Vs. Raymond with a little something for every musical taste from Grown & Sexy R&B ( Lingerie) pop ( DJ'S Got Us Fallin In Love & Somebody to Love ) and southern Hip Hop ( Get In My Car feat. Bun B) Usher should be around for years to come.

Raymond VS Raymond continues...,
By
This review is from: Versus (Audio CD)
"Versus" is a 9 track EP by Usher, released about 5 months after his million selling "Raymond VS Raymond". Along with the sensual ballad "There goes my baby" (originally from Raymond VS Raymond") and a remix of Justin Bieber's rather cheesy upbeat Dance/Pop "Somebody to love", there are 7 new songs.Leading the new songs is Usher's current US top 10 hit "DJ got us falling in love", a Techno-ish Dance number (with a perfunctory rap by Pitbull) in the vein of his recent US & UK #1 "OMG". Other standouts are "Hot tottie" which features Jay-Z and is skeletal with a booming bassline, "Lingerie" which is an upbeat Michael Jackson-channeling R&B number produced by Jam & Lewis, and the ballad "Stranger" with swirling synths which is similar to songs like "Burn" or "Moving mountains". The other 3 songs are rather throwaway though, which is a shame as it seems just as he is stepping out of his comfort zone and trying something new, he rushes back to the safety of bland generic R&B sounds. 3 and a half stars.

I absolutely LOVE this cd. Every song is excellent, and I could not stop listening to it over and over again all summer long. One of the best.
