If Usher's 1994 self-titled debut album wasn't embraced universally by critics, the enormous commercial success of Usher made the recording an auspicious beginning, and the fact that the singer was a mere 16 years old at the time of its release only redoubles its impressiveness.
Usher's 2001 album 8701, his first for the Arista label, spawned several big hits, including the Grammy-winning and chart-topping ballad "U Remind Me." The album's title referred to the span of time between 1987 and 2001, and to Usher's evolution as an artist over that time.
No less pervasive was the album's ballad entry "Burn," released to radio as the album's second single.

I'm sorry Usher, but Timberlakes album was a much tighter and well put together album, not to mention the fact that he didn't try to cram like 20+ songs onto an album but just made quality songs for a quality album.
Confessions part 2 is cool I like the vibe of that cut.
Usher's 3rd single off the Confessions album, Confession part II is a pretty cool follow-up to Burn, where he confesses to cheating on his girl.

 Usher: Confessions (2004): Reviews
Among the producers and guest vocalists appearing on Usher's fourth album are Ludacris, Nelly, Jermaine Dupri, The Neptunes, and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.
At 60 minutes, however, the album runs at least three songs too long, spoiling the tension and spirit with material that is plain gushy and, still, lame.
Though Confessions doesn't bring Usher all the way to the artistic maturity one might hope for, tracking this star's progression definitely has its satisfactions.

And no matter how she may disguise it beneath glistening layers of synths, or by sequencing the album as a non-stop party, Confessions on a Dance Floor is the first album where Madonna seems like a veteran musician.
There's no emotional hook in the music, either in its icy surface or in the lyrics, and the hard-headed intention to deliver a hardcore dance album means that this feels cold and calculated, never warm or infectious.
But Confessions wasn't intended to be pop music -- as the title makes clear, it was made for the dance clubs or, in other words, Madonna's core audience, who will surely be pleased by this sleek slice of style.

Overall unit sales (also including singles and downloads of track and albums) were up 19%, from 687 million to 817 million — the first time since 2000 that plateau has been reached.
Still, track downloads' growth is substantial: During the second half of 2004, 91.4 million tracks were downloaded, nearly a fivefold increase over the same period in 2003 (though still dwarfed by the traffic on unauthorized file-trading sites).
Rankings based on audience impressions: the number of plays for a song on radio in 2004 multiplied by the estimated number of people listening each time the song was played.

A CD is always more compelling when you know it's lifted from the artist's autobiography, and that's certainly the case with Confessions, Usher's first record since 2001's 8701.
The Atlanta singer's string of hits over the past decade have been decidedly under-18s rated, almost veering towards teen pop, but he's changed all that on this coproduced offering, which he claims is "the real him".
'Confessions' is the fourth album from Usher and sees the once squeeky clean boy of R&B get intimate and dirty with hisfans.
