Usher recently spent time in the studio making new music with Pharrell Williams and also Adam Levine of Maroon 5.

News of the collaboration first emerged when photos of the artists appeared online, and now the 'Here I Stand' singer tells MTV about the new material.

"Pharrell has his Web site where he lets you come inside his world and lets you know what's happening. A few pictures did leak online, just to let you know what he's been working on."

"There's some synergy between all of us and the record we're working on is gonna be an incredible record. I'm a fan. Adam is incredible - far beyond what I even fathomed."

Speaking of the actual songwriting, Usher explained: "[It] was a loose thing. [Levine] came in, picked up a guitar and went to work."

"We want to create music like you never heard before," Usher added. "Once we create something in the studio that everybody is crazy about, then we try to beat that. Once we create another one, we try to beat that."

"It's like we're challenging ourselves in the moment, as opposed to chasing what's in the past."

Ugh......Usher ---->>> Next!!!

He's such a cocky artist!

8709

This could be huge.

If you replace Usher with Chris Brown

lol true, but if Usher actually gets some great singles for his next era he could take Chris down. Usher had 1 hit and sold 1.1 million copies of Here I Stand while Chris had hit after hit AND a re-release and sold like 1.9 million. Oh and he's obviously getting some pop-friendly songs so it'll be interesting.....

This could be his Emancipation or Circus. I hope he has "U Got It Bad" Nice & Slow" and "Love In This Club" sounding songs.

Chris Brown is just starting to build a solid fanbase, he is getting there. If Usher fails with this next album, we can officially add him to the has-been list.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm the future of music? probably. pharrell is an awesome producer, adam an awesome singer and usher.... (mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm) he knows what he does, I THINK.

Usher>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>Chris Brown.

i dont care for usher that much anymore since his confessions album.but pharrell & adam levine would be a hot combo. i would love to hear what they come up with.

Exactly.... Reeces is so obsessed with Top 40 ******** than the actual music or the talent being displayed.

Bitch, don't act like you know me, and since when has Usher not been a top 40 artist? His last album went platinum and he got a number one hit from it

Still Standing peak position, please?

Muh****a I don't give a damn about peaks, hits and sales.... YOU DO! Thats the point... instead of worrying about that ********, why not focus on the music that Pharrell, Adam & Usher is cooking up???

Don't play dumb with me.... Chris Brown had more success in 2008 than Usher and thats what you were getting at. Who the **** cares about Still Standing... the song was just the theme song from her reality series that happen to get radio play. IT WAS NEVER A SINGLE!!! I know you can come harder than that if you really wanna get at me.

no. lol.
i deleted the post because i realized it sounded stupid. lol

smart move.

I'm sure you care about success. You're playing that card right now because Monica is cooking fried chicken at Popeyes. I love how I get under your skin
