Usher Celebrates His 40th Birthday By Dropping Surprise Album ‘A’

Usher has a new surprise album out. The singer and DJ Zaytoven teamed up for their hot new album A.

According to Spin, A pays homage to Usher’s love for Atlanta – and is the first album he’s released in two years since his Hard II Love album.

Just a few hours before dropping the album, Usher released a teaser on Instagram of him and Zaytoven driving around Atlanta – showcasing some familiar attractions including Cascade Family Skating roller rink and a Waffle House alongside stops at strip clubs.

Some songs on the album — such as “Say What U Want,” “Peace Sign” and “You Decide” — are reminiscent of the singer’s biggest hits on the 2004 album Confessions, which included notable tracks such as “My Boo” featuring Alicia Keys, “Superstar,” and “Yeah!” with Lil Jon and Ludacris.
