It seems that King Usher will release another album this year.
Quote:
I don't plan on taking a long time or hiatus from music after this tour," the multi-platinum R&B singer told Billboard.com in advance his worldwide OMG trek, which kicks off Nov. 10 in Seattle and runs through late March of 2011. "I do plan on coming right back. I don't know exactly what type of musical experience it will be, but I'll be right back with another musical experience to keep it alive."
YRB: I’m sure you’ve been putting in work with a lot of artists. Where are we going to see your name pop up in the credits in 2011?
Rico: Everywhere. I have all the releases before 2011. Diddy-Dirty Money's Last Train to Paris, Jamie Foxx's Best Night of My Life, Keri Hilson's No Boys Allowed... Just to be involved in all of these projects that's coming out at the top of the year. We got Mario, Pleasure P, another Usher album dropping this year, Divison 1 launching, Young Chris' album coming out this year, and I'm trying to get Cherlise's album out this year. Not to mention the Kelly Rowland album, another Nelly album… Just staying busy and working on everything.

YRB: Another Nelly and Usher album?
Rico: I just started doing records for Usher and Nelly, so we really haven't gone in the studio and come up with anything. I've just been working on songs. I played a few for Usher that he loves. I just don't want to stop. I want to keep it going and continue to keep that momentum. Another thousand kids are gunning for my spot right now, so I'm not going to give it to them.
YRB: What kind of stuff are you cooking up for Usher?
Rico: I just feel like Usher has a classic sound and music that doesn't age. So it's not about really… It doesn't matter if his music came out this year or 10 years from now. Same thing with “U Got It Bad,” same thing with “You Make Me Wanna.” I just want to make sure we can keep that classic sound. Some artists like Nelly and Usher and Diddy, they have a classic sound. You have to stick to it.
R&B King Usher knows how to do it! :] Don't put too much time in-between projects or you'll lose relevance. Only certain artists can make a HUGE comeback after a long time away from the scene. Strike while the iron is hot! As long as it's quality music... :]
