With “Do it to Me” being the only bad song on the album, however, Usher has certainly crafted something strong. “Take Your Hand” ends up bringing something new to the table, but its too little too late, especially after the debacle that is “Do it to Me,” which is a piss-poor attempt at sexuality that utterly fails. The constraints of the albums “concept” also limit any sort of variety he could have had lyrically, and those themes are also repeated far too often in the album. The album keeps on going strong for a few more songs, but by albums end Usher starts to repeat ideas and vocal melodies to often. The first 7 tracks (which include all the singles) are pop brilliance, with not one moment being a letdown. What unfortunately is a problem is how weighted the album is in its first half. However, with Usher normally making up for it by taking command of every song with his voice, it usually isn’t a problem. The production is slick and strong throughout, but if you’re expecting something on the level of Timbaland, you’ll be sorely disappointed. He’s way ahead of his age, showing a great range (including a falsetto that isn’t as annoying as f*ck) that makes all the tracks on the album be at least slightly unique. The album is certainly make or break on how much you enjoy Usher’s voice. Doesn’t lend itself well to grinding, does it? In general, the slower tracks work, with tunes like “Confessions Pt 2” and particularly “Throwback” (arguably the best ballad on the album) being extremely soulful and well sung. As evidenced by the albums title, its loose concept is one of a man confessing all the wrongs in his life. The albums made up in majority of slower, confessional tunes. Some tracks, like “Caught Up” and “Bad Girl” are still dance tunes, but are much less gritty and bring up fewer images of bad club lighting. In an intelligent move, it’s the only club banger on the album. ‘lil Jon’s shining moment as a producer, “Yeah!” combines an infectious beat with one of the simplest hooks ever imagined (…yeah) with the genius of Ludacris to form a song only matched by “Hot in Herre” as a club hit. Everyone’s heard “Yeah~” the giant club hit from the summer of ‘04. So, I checked out all of Confessions, and what I found was an excellent collection of singles (and would be singles), surrounded by some decent filler material. The lyrical matter was pretty average (I mean, another break up song? No way!), but Usher had a way about singing it that gave it an added sense of emotion, that someone like Ne-Yo just couldn’t do. What I found was a tightly produced, well performed song that had some of the best hooks I’ve heard since I last listened to Justin Timberlake so many months ago.

Having to download “Burn” to put on a mix I was being forced to make for her, I decided to take a listen. I, of course, was forced into listening to the album by a rather close female friend. Sometimes a guy will come in (who is white) and seal up the genre with massive successes, and make it virtually impossible for anyone else to get any attention.

Sure, there’ll be a good tune once in a while, but for the most part the genre in the mainstream is stale. I usually turn off the radio if I hear Robin Thicke or any of those guys, as I just can’t stand to hear the same song over again. If only it were 10 minutes shorter.Ĭontemporary R&B is not one of my strong points (not that much is, but I digress…). Review Summary: "Confessions" is a great album, mainly supported by its singles but still noteworthy without them.
