Samples include "Top Billin'" (as performed by the Audio Two), "Jussummen" (as performed by Das EFX), "Tidal Wave" (as performed by Ronnie Laws) and "The Show" (as performed by Doug E. Fresh). Usher Raymond is the new teenage sweetheart ... Full Descriptionof R&B. Although he's been lumped in with the genre's other young artists (Tevin Campbell, Immature and others), Usher comes forth with a more developed sound, mainly due to the maturity of his vocal style. Distinctly sculpted to appeal to members of his own generation, Raymond's full-length debut, USHER, unites some of the R&B's hottest producers to aid his cause. On the Devante Swing-written and choreographed "Can You Git Wit It," Usher proves that he could easily be the fifth member of Jodeci or a young Al B. Sure, who himself guest stars on "The Many Ways" and works the boards for "Slow Love." But listeners shouldn't doubt that Usher is his own artist, as his ability to harmonize and take control over phat tracks like "I'll Make It Right" clearly demonstrates.
Usher delivers more than the typical '90s R&B feel. With its samples and break beats, his music is extremely hip-hop-oriented in both its content and production values. One reason for this is Sean "Puffy" Combs, who is responsible for the ascension of artists such as Mary J. Blige and The Notorious B.I.G., and plays a major role on USHER. "Puffy" adds his particular brand of hip-hop flava to the album through a studied choice of appropriated grooves--including James Brown's "Blind Man Can See It" and Ronnie Laws' "Tidal Wave"--well-known to rap fans. Yet rather than diverting the listener's attention, the backing tracks serve to highlight Raymond's remarkable vocal prowess, and the lethal combination helps make USHER an impressive success.

"You Make Me Wanna" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
"My Way" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
Three years after his debut album, 18 year-old Usher returns with a newly mature, seductively smooth voice, and a palpable sense of self confidence. What remains so appealing about Usher's soulful crooning and sexy whisper, however, is a youthful freshness and vibrancy. This unpretentious approach is felt throughout the album in the simple, clean production, especially on songs like the Babyface-produced ballad "Bedtime," which has lovely background vocals by Shanice Wilson. Funkier, more up-tempo songs include the title track, an R&B-tinged song endearingly lacking the slightest hint of humility: "from this day forth you know I'm all about heat/And what I do be the major league/That's why your girlfriend's paging me."
Recorded at Somewhere In College Park, College Park, Georgia; Sony Studios, New York, New York; Brandon's Way Recording, Los Angeles, Califonia; Future Recording Studios, Virginia Beach, Virginia.

| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Usher CD music
$6.39
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than the Dublin production of RIVERDANCE. There's also a lovely rendition of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" that's topped only by Ron Wood's reappearance on a finale of the Stones' "Ruby Tuesday." VH1 PRESENTS THE CORRS LIVE IN DUBLIN is a fine mix of the band's greatest hits with a few well-chosen covers, which will doubtless reach out to new fans and longtime Corrs aficionados alike.
Recorded at Ardmore Studios in Dublin, Ireland in January 2002.
The Corrs: Jim Corr (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Sharon Corr (vocals, violin); Andrea Corr (vocals, tin whistle); Caroline Corr (vocals, drums, bodhran, percussion).

| | M*A*S*H DVD (1970) Widescreen
Usher album
$10.55
With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was born, one that would help to forever change the face of cinema. Altman's audacious film reflected the American counterculture's growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in one of the biggest box office smashes of its time. Introducing the techniques he would employ throughout his storied career--overlapping dialogue, a constantly moving camera with a heavy amount of zooming, and a bold combination of frank subject matter with cynical humor--Altman immediately vaulted himself to Hollywood's upper ranks. Based on the novel by Richard Hooker, M*A*S*H follows a group of Mobile Army Surgical Hospital officers as they perform surgery and pass the time just miles from the front lines of the Korean conflict. Led by sardonic captains "Hawkeye" Pierce (Donald Sutherland) and "Trapper" John McIntyre (Elliott Gould), the film has the feel of an absurd three-ring circus. Other characters include the uptight nurse "Hot Lips" O'Houlihan (Sally Kellerman), the confused Major Frank Burns (Robert Duvall), the troubled Captain "Painless" Waldowski (John Shuck), and the simpleminded Captain "Duke" Forrest (Tom Skerritt). Altman's decision to present his film as a series of loosely connected vignettes rather than a traditionally unfolding narrative perfectly captures the freewheeling spirit so unique to early-'70s cinema.

| | Dredg Catch Without Arms CD (2005)
Usher CD music
$8.55
Early on, critics often described Dredg as a metal group. However, the quartet has since matured into a hard-edged indie-rock ensemble that seeks diversity and refinement in its music. On CATCH WITHOUT ARMS, the band favors highly orchestrated parts, dense guitar riffs, and powerful drumming. Each song is based around memorable vocal hooks and sensitive lyrical content.
Many tracks on CATCH WITHOUT ARMS have a searching quality to them. Despite the sheer force of the music, this release is ultimately marked by well constructed melodies and intriguing harmonic underpinnings. This is due in part to singer Gavin Hayes, who sounds more like U2's Bono than a metal screecher. Hayes's tenor soars above tunes such as "Ode To the Sun" and the title track. "Hungover On a Tuesday" contains another towering vocal, which moves effortlessly over Mark Engles's syncopated guitar. Finally, "Matroska (The Ornament)" brims with deep emotion; it also has an infectious, even danceable, groove. If CATCH WITHOUT ARMS shows a young band that still has much more in store for its listeners.
Recording information: Studio Litho, Seattle, Washington.

The Boys-Into-Men Program, Inc. ("Boys-Into-Men") is a non-profit, juvenile and adult delinquency self and substance abuse prevention program, primarily, for African-American males from "High Risk" environments. "Boys-Into-Men" was founded in 1990, incorporated and determined 501(c)(3) eligible by the Internal Revenue Service in 1992. The mission of "Boys-Into-Men" is to help African-American males make the successful physical, mental and spiritual transition from boyhood to responsible adulthood. "Boys-Into-Men" engages participants who are economically disadvantaged, poor achievers, chronic failures, those who lack bonding and commitment to school, as well as, those who lack a positive self-image, religious and commonly held social values. "Boys-Into-Men" participants are taught independence, self-control, discipline, responsibility, to cooperate with one another, how to settle differences in non-violent ways and to internalize social skills which will make a difference in the direction they focus their lives. "Boys-Into-Men" helps participants learn to build their self-esteem and image among their peers, structure their time, occupy their minds, earn legitimate income and direct their energies into positive channels."Boys-Into-Men" has five (5) program components: Academic Enrichment, Character Affirmation, Entrepreneurial Skills, Prison Prevention and Prostate Education And Cancer Elimination (P.E.A.C.E.). "Boys-Into-Men" helps participants learn to value the pursuit of academic and personal excellence, consequently, helping to stabilize their lives and increasing their chances of reaching adulthood, physically, mentally and spiritually.Since young people receive much of their information through Pop, Rock, R&B and, especially, Rap music, "UNITED WE STILL STAND" is an effective way to positively impact their attitudes about violence, crime, drugs, terrorism, patriotism and the American spirit.For more details about Nnow & Thenn and The Boys-Into-Men Program, Inc., call (866) 835-3828, toll Free, or e-mail boysintomen@houston.rr.com.
| | Funeral For A Friend Tales Don't Tell Themselves CD (2007)
Usher CD music
$12.49
Moving away somewhat from the post-hardcore formula that characterized the band's first two albums, Funeral for a Friend's 2007 release, TALES DON'T TELL THEMSELVES, edges closer to traditional rock territory. The emo-tinged themes are still in place, however, as are a bevy of slicing guitar riffs and pummeling thunder from the rhythm section, but the Welsh quintet are clearly re-defining themselves here. Still, even though these young rockers occasionally trade screamo for orchestration (there are string sections on tunes like "Raise the Sail" and "Sweetest Wave"), they play with punk's intent and conviction.
Funeral For A Friend: Gareth Davies, Ryan Richards, Darran Smith, Kris Coombs Roberts, Matthew Davies.
Additional personnel: Lianne Francis (vocals); Emma Welton, Laura Melhuish, Juliet Snell, Liz Partridge, Kathy Shave, Claire Thompson, Jayne Harris, Joan Atherton, Fenella Barton, Boguslav Kostecki, Ann Morfee, Robert Salter (violin); Jane Atkins, Peter Collyer, Peter Lale, Sue Dench (viola); Ann Lines, Harry Napier, Nick Cooper, Andrew Fuller (cello); Richard Bissell, Richard Watkins (French horn); Elizabeth Bradley, Corin Long (bass guitar); Luis Jardim (cowbells); Nigel Thomas (timpani); Heather Cairncross, Jacqueline Barron, Clare Henry, Andrew Butler, Helen Rathbone, Gerard O'Beirne, Micaela Haslam, Amanda Morrison (background vocals); Audrey Riley.
| | Josaphine Bertrand Wataka Matata (Album) CD (2007) (Import)
Usher music CDs
$12.99
After some turbulence Josephine's album "Wataka Matata" finally lands on the turntables !Wataka Matata, strange title which evokes the jungle ; but don't let it mislead you, this album was entirely made in Paris. But, after all … isn't Paris a jungle !?Official release: October 15.You already can buy the album on CD Baby and soon download it on Apple iTunes Music Store and many other legal sites.- Wataka Matata, the second title, gave its name to the album. This album, filled with diversity, mix together various genres such as pure techno or techno mixed with salsa and zouk, that you can find in the first 4 titles "Nouveau Riche", "Wataka Matata", "Super Mamie", and "Africa".- "Pourquoi" is a mixture of reggae and ragga, and "Big Big Bobi" is a song hummed by all them cameroonian children, from Douala as well as in Mungo.- "Soleil" is a languorous slow fox-trot which cultivates ambiguity with tact and subtlety.- "A ma Mère" and "Fête des Mères" are rumbas, and chachachas, sung in Central African idioms, a wink of the artist at her mother, a native of Central Africa.- "Musiquinine", fantastic "Musiquinine", released in 1994 ! This song made Josephine famous in Cameroon, her country of origin. This title was a true success and 13 years later this song is still present. All social classes have danced or made sport on this song : v.i.p.s as well as children. Nostalgic ones of this title will surely be very happy to find it on this album.Frenchwoman of Cameroonian origin, Josephine Bertrand is a real hurricane of good mood and dynamism. Just listen to the texts and music of these songs and you will sense her joviality.That is no wonder, Josephine is also an actress and scriptwriter, and it certainly helped to realize this album.You will surely be surprised when listening to this album which offer such a diversity of rhythms and texts through all the titles.
