USHER’s reign continues with the release of his highly anticipated album, COMING HOME out now via mega/gamma. This is the GRAMMY Award winning entertainment icon’s ninth-studio album with features from Burna Boy, Summer Walker, 21 Savage, Pheelz, Latto, H.E.R. and The-Dream.
The focus single 'Kissing Strangers' is set to set airwaves on fire with an Usher signature sound: a warm ballad that showcases Usher's impecable vocals and a buttery production that lures you in to wallow in the question "how did we go from strangers kissing to kissing strangers?".
The album includes “Good Good” featuring 21 Savage and Summer Walker which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s R&B Digital Song Sales Chart upon release and led all three of Billboard's major R&B/hip-hop airplay charts: Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Adult R&B Airplay — his eighth No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay chart. “Good Good” was also featured on the cover of Spotify’s Are & Be for 1 week, on Apple Music’s R&B Now for 2 consecutive weeks and peaked at #1 on Shazam in Atlanta, Memphis, San Francisco, New Orleans, Philadelphia and more. Subsequent single “Standing Next To You (USHER Remix)” is #24 at Top 40 and “Risk It All” is Top 10 at R&B and Top 20 at Urban Radio.
To celebrate the release of COMING HOME, throughout the day on February 9 iHeartRadio’s entire network of Hip-Hop and R&B stations will participate in a National World Premiere, broadcasting a 25-minute takeover featuring five new tracks from COMING HOME and custom audio from USHER sharing the journey of making the album and the inspiration behind the music.
“COMING HOME is an ode to going back to your roots, whatever or wherever that may be. I’m COMING HOME to where I’m comfortable in being exactly who I am right now. My hope is that you identify with the new album no matter where you are or what you’re going through, too”, states USHER.
“USHER’s latest album, COMING HOME, is a testament to his artistry and evolution as a musician. With each track, he invites listeners on a journey of self-discovery and reflection. USHER's unparalleled talent shines through in every note, making COMING HOME a must-listen for fans old and new”, adds L.A. Reid.
"I am so proud of USHER not only as a world class entertainer, but also as someone that I’ve counted as a friend since we were teens. As a friend that has now fearlessly taken his career into his own hands,” said gamma. Co-Founder & CEO Larry Jackson. "With this new ninth studio album, he’s bravely unplugged from the matrix of the establishment and become one of the most powerful and important independent artists in the world. And doing it on his own terms. I have such deep admiration and respect for how he’s charting this chapter of his career, and all of us at gamma. could not be happier to count him as a partner as we work closely with mega to turbo charge this incredible moment at hand.”
The album will be released via mega, a music collective founded by L.A. Reid and USHER in partnership with gamma. the artist-first multimedia platform providing creative and business services across all artistic and commercial formats co-founded by CEO Larry Jackson and President Ike Youssef.
