"In an attempt to revive his luke-warmly received 'Here I Stand' LP, Usher is set to go for the dual-single approach for the album's third release. Title track 'Here I Stand' as well as 'Trading Places' are to be serviced to radio shortly. It's unknown at present whether both singles will receive the video treatment.
While I'm glad the record's standout cut (IMO) 'Trading Places' is to be released, I can't help but think this whole project has missed the mark. With Usher not being one to dish albums on a yearly basis, it'll be interesting to see what he'll do to salvage his increasingly unstable status as prince of R&B."

Thank JESUS he changed it from His Mistakes! Finally Usher got some damn since knocked into him...i bet you this was his mom's idea...he better be glad he hired her back!
Yeah, album is yawns. Those are still not the right singles choices, Appettite or the will.i.am track are possibly album-saving. His albums usually have a bundle of great songs, apparently not the case this time.
