Usher Is Working With Max Martin, Disclosure, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis And More On New Album
Usher is plotting what sounds like a grand return to form next year — and he’s got all the cooks in the kitchen to help him whip up a smash or two.
Following the lukewarm success of cuts like “Good Kisser” and “She Came To Give It To You” with Nicki Minaj, the prolific R&B titan is now in the studio crafting tracks for UR, his upcoming album due out in the first half of 2015.
In a new interview with The Guardian, he reveals that he’s been working with an enviable array of powerhouse producers and songwriters “including Skrillex, Ed Sheeran, uber-pop producer Max Martin, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, and Disclosure (their last session done via Skype), though Usher says that his guiding lights are still 90s R&B geniuses Babyface and LA Reid.” Phew! A promising collaborator’s list to be sure, but will it pan out for a return to the top of the charts?
