Editorial Reviews :
On his third studio effort (and fourth overall), 22-year-old R&B/pop star Usher Raymond makes the not-so-simple transition from post-teen heartthrob to love man. He does it with solid songs and a generous helping of charisma and vocal acumen, making this much-delayed collection a hot summer treat. Usher is aided in his musical efforts by renowned hit-makers like the Neptunes, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (who deliver soaring ballads like 'Can U Help Me'), Jermaine Dupri, and new jack Edmund Clement who penned the irresistible single 'U Remind Me.' With catchy tracks and emotive vocals, Usher revs up his sex quotient and unleashes a winning blend of street-honed jams and passionate love songs.
Buyer Reviews :
Usher has been in the game long enough to know that you can't just put together a record with all slow or all fast songs. During the recording of '8701,' Usher did more than adding variety. He added his own style to every track and makes original hits. This album has yet to disappoint me. The cd starts out with a mellow intro and goes into 'U Remind Me' and 'I Don't Know;' two uptempo songs with one featuring P. Diddy. Then it goes into some of my favorite songs on the album. 'Twork It Out,' 'U Got It Bad,' and 'If I Want To.' The production on the album is great and the instruments used add details to the background music that makes solid tracks back-to-back. The best slow jam on the album, in my opinion, would have to be 'Can U Help Me.' It starts off with easy vocals and a piano and the song goes from there; and also shows how well Usher can hit those high notes. If there are any doubts about checking this album out, I would completely forget them. If you are an Usher fan or of good R&B in general, this is definetly a good, solid R&B record to add to your collection.
