My first impression of "Confessions" was considering the previous "8701" first mies. But I could not believe so completely that a USHER album is only heard of me and then disappears. So I again reingehört and already I liked the whole thing better. The second hearing's were suddenly hits like "Burn", "Superstar" or "That's what it's made for" who would not go out of my ear. Over time, if you have somehow found time to music, and the spark ignites the other songs on (more great songs are "Do it to me", "Caught up" or "Throwback"). Usher new album is, contrary to the current single "Yeah!" become a fairly quiet album (with even more than two exceptions), that very smooth comes along. A real Aussetzter be found on the album in vain because all the songs have their charm and sound somehow interesting. Usher's velvety voice more than ever on "Confessions" to bear and shows what a talent in him. Conclusion: Definitely a top album that after Eingewöhungsphase is really cool and super fits in the spring. If you like pleasant and quieter R'nB will be well served with this album and will find his pleasure. But beware: If you expected more in the direction of "Yeah" is bitterly disappointed and had better listen times before! PS: The alleged battle between Usher and Justin Timberlake is total nonsense, both are good, both are different in their own way and both belong to the world of music !!!
