Album Spotlight: Usher - My Way

-
It wasn't too long ago when I did a spotlight on another Usher album; 'Confessions'. Now I take you all back to 1997 when Usher released his sophomore album; 'My Way'. This was truly the album that put Usher on the map. His self-titled debut was lukewarm and I don't think most people remember it including myself.

I remember over the summer while visiting my father Usher's 'U Make Me Wanna' was all over BET. My old best friend bought this album and one of the most shocking tracks on the album was 'Just Like Me' featuring Lil' Kim. Please understand being 13 at the time and hearing lyrics like Lil' Kim spitting definitely piques your curiosity. The lyrics and verse particularly really standout and it is one of the more explicit songs on the album.

Another favorite song of mine on the album is the ballad; 'Bedtime' produced by Babyface and features background vocals from Shanice Wilson. At that time Shanice was doing background vocals for virtually every artist and I couldn't wait for a new album from her; that's another story though.

Usher came back and rose above many of his male contemporaries producing an album about a guy becoming a man and 'My Way' was that album. The spotlight is on Usher's 'My Way' album; if you haven't heard it; well what are you waiting for?

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record
