But in a weird way, the breakup afforded him the world's gaze and that's exactly what his album deserved. I doubt Usher wanted to endure a public breakup for the sake of his career. From strong vocals to meaningful lyrics, great production to smart sequencing-pretty much everything you could ask for in an R&B album is present on Confessions. But thankfully, the album itself saved Usher from being just a tabloid star. Some may see the drama that surrounded Usher's album and think it was all a cheap ploy to sell units. This sentiment remained as Usher and Dupri began the recording process, and it manifested in a song titled "All Bad." The singer had to ramp up interest in who he was outside of music.
Reid and Usher himself had a solution in mind. But for Usher's team, there was still another level for him to reach. He had Platinum albums, high-charting singles and big TV performances.

If R&B was a story, lots of characters would be involved. This understanding helped to shape Confessions, the fourth album by Usher. Topics that strike a chord, characters that you root for, anticipation of what’s to come-these elements can make us rewind an album or turn the page all the same. Music and novels are decidedly different artforms, but they both demonstrate the power of a good story.

'Part II' was all me, my whole life story, basically," he told Complex in 2014. "'Part II' was supposed to be fantasy: Usher didn't have kids none of these things were going on. » RELATED: Jermaine Dupri reveals the one thing no one ever tells himīut Dupri has since cleared up that rumor.
