Usher
From a diamond certificate album to a new music genre: the story of the artist that for us is the most iconic guy in the music industry
If to the words dancer, singer, talent scout and producer you add the trademark “iconic”, you’ll find him: Usher. The big name of American R&B, whose talent has been certified diamond in 2004 with the album Confessions (20 million copies sold), he is and has always been,
in fact, the “good boy” of charts besides also being an undisputed style icon.
And while today there are still those that are waiting for Mr. Entertainer (a nickname that somehow recalls eau de Cologne and Sinatra) to drop his mask,
he has shown himself, day after day, for what he truly is: a gentleman 2.0. Usher's creativity and art can be strongly seen and heard in the creation of Raimond v Raimond – released in 2010 – that, exploiting the lessons learnt from Woodsworth on the recollection of feelings in tranquility, got everyone’s consent.
Sure, Usher is not only an elegant and slightly rebel good guy, as seen in the photo shoots for L'Uomo Vogue in January 2011 and March 2005, shot by Stephen Klein (as you can see in the gallery): his universe is also made of great entrepreneurial successes. And it’s not like his good guy side can’t get along with his role as a mentor, on the contrary. And as a demonstration of it there will be the Christmas song, which will be aired as a preview on October 24th, that sees the (spiritual) father Usher and the son (in label) Bieber together in a collaboration quite full of “aww”s.
And for the immediate future? Voices say that something more than a "new album" is in the works:
Mr. Entertainer has been developing new songs that will create a new music genre, one he has coined as "revolutionary pop". That should teach something to people that are still holding thier breath, waiting for him to make a faux pas. Take some advice, catch your breath and get comfortable because it seems you will have to wait a very long time.
Vogue would never lie
