Usher has been a symbol of tender sexuality ever since he shifted from teenage sensation to soulful superstar. He's breathtakingly good at what he does; possessing that undefinable essence known to a select few soul crooners (Al Green, D'Angelo, etc.) who radiate sensuality through song, Usher has reached an apex on the sultry CONFESSIONS, his fifth studio album.
After the obligatory intro, Lil Jon kicks in with his exhortations on the catchy, dance-floor-ready single "Yeah." Usher follows that up with the sublimely sweet "Throwback," a torch song with a fantastic Motown hook. On "Confessions Part II," he exposes his most vulnerable side when admitting to his lover that he's fathered a child with another woman. Exemplifying his versatility, Usher follows the standard pop ballad "Simple Things" with the guitar-riff-driven "Bad Girl," somewhere between 1970s funk and '80s Prince. CONFESSIONS is the sound of an R&B luminary at the top of his game.

Editorial Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - [H]e's a fully grown R&B sensation....[With] addictive R&B hooks and all-dancin', all-lovin' subject matter boosted with hot production tweaks.
Q

The vocalist reveals his new-found maturity by opening with the grittiest song he's ever done....The ensuing track glides smoothly between club-friendly hip-hop soul and ballads. - Grade: B+p
Entertainment Weekly (03/26/2004)

3 stars out of 5 - [Songs such as 'Yeah' create] sensual panic by combining Usher's jumpy attacks with [Lil Jon's] sublime, frayed beats.
Rolling Stone (04/15/2004)

    I expected this CD to be for dancing, well it is kind of slow... to slow. But anyways, it does have several good tracks.

    First off it's Usher. I don't have to say much. The king of R&B. But, this is best album of all time. With platinum hits like Confessions, Burn, and Yeah you sure to love it. He has Alicia Keys on My Boo. Other artist like Ludacris, Lil Jon, Twista, and Shyne. 10 of 10 A+

    I like the quality. Even though it is like a new one and includes all materials that are in the CD, it is so cheap. I am definitely satisfied with this product. The reason why I bought this is that it was the cheapest good.

      Usher - confession (SE)
    Review created: 04/08/07

    Actually this was my 2nd time purchasing this CD. I bought when it first came out but listened to it so much that it got scratched so I bought another on ebay. I like the different music style, the slow joints are great & Usher just did his thing on thhis album. I'd buy another if this one got messed up too. Purchase it, it won't disappoint you!!

    The only thing that I can say wrong about this particular cd is that it did not come with lyrics. If it had, I would have easily given it an 'Excellent" rating.
