‘When Is The Album Dropping?’: Fans Are Ready For More Confessions After Usher Teases New Music

Heartthrob and R&B crooner Usher may finally be done teasing fans about the release of new music after providing an exclusive listen to part three to his “Confessions I and II” during an intimate performance at the Cricket Wireless Lounge.

As a follow-up to his 2004 album “Confessions,” the Atlanta native shared the mystery woman’s side of the story by stating “she had something to tell me…”

“Remember that time I was sitting up sick couldn’t sleep in the middle of night, you said bae let me take to you to the ER, I said nah I’mma be alright, well the next day I found out from f—–g around the sickness I had was life, and I was fixed to keeping the decision to keep it knowin’ I had to get rid of it, rid of it, live with it he don’t know, you don’t know, I had to deal with it, you thought what you put me on for part two was the realest s–t,” sang Usher about a woman getting pregnant with a child that was likely not his.

Clamoring for more days after the performance, fans swooped into the comment section of a photo posted by the singer leading up to his appearance on the “Late Late Show.”

Along with making his rounds to various talk shows reminding folks that his velvety tone is still in pristine condition, the 42 year old is also promoting his upcoming filmBurden.” Based on a true story, Usher teams up with legendary actor Forest Whitaker to show how the power of love can cast out hate and even lead to the redemption of a member of the Ku Klux Klan.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
