Usher is ready to work. After dropping a full length album only five months ago, Usher is back with an EP, Versus. Usually, when artists release an EP right after an album, it's to add some mediocre songs they feel are good. 'Versus' is the exception. Every song is a viable contender for release. Needless to say, Usher has found the mojo he lost when he was married.
There isn't anything brand new on the disc, but the songs are a solid set filled with machismo and sexual advances. It opens with "Love 'Em All". Where Usher sings about there being too many women in the world and he wants them all, so he needs to have more than one at a time. For most men, that's just a fantasy, but you get the sense this man
gets what he wants. Despite the name being utterly laughable, "Hot Tottie" is a hot piece of music. Jay-Z addresses his rumored Illuminati affiliation without compromising the bounce and theme of the record.
Fan favorite, "There Goes my Baby" is here to provide a direct connection from the former project to this one. The Justin Beiber
assisted, "Someone To Love (Remix)" is the only joint that gets a PG rating. Adding a sixteen year old doesn't quite help your case for making music for the grown and sexy. Otherwise, this is Usher doing two things: showing younger cats why he's as successful as he is and making sure nobody forgets who he is. It's Usher, baby!
