Fresh off his four year hiatus (and new family additions), Usher returns to the music scene with his forthcoming album 'Here I Stand.'
And boy, does he know how to build up anticipation.The album's first single, 'Love in This Club' is blowing up across all media formats and has even forced the singer's label to bump his release date up to May 27.
In addition to the hot single, Usher (born Usher Raymond IV) was shown a lot of love in the club from a few of his friends for the song's video, which premiered on April 7.
From Young Jeezy (who is featured on the single), Diddy, Kanye West, Nelly, Rick Ross, and the oh so sexy Keri Hilson, Usher keeps fans wondering if he'll catch love by the end of the video.
And it doesn't stop there.
It is reported that 'Here I Stand' will feature collaborations by Jermaine Dupri, Timbaland, Ludacris, Nelly, and Lil Jon just to name a few.
According to Nielsen SoundScan Usher's last album 'Confessions,' sold 9.5 million copies in the United States.

Usher's video was Ok. I was looking for something more, being that he had been out of the music scene in 4 years. I wasn't feeling the sound and the collab with "Jeezy".
Keri Hilson, had to step it up and get "Usher's Choreographer to help her. The girl couldn't dance at all.s. She did look nice. I did like the dancing at the end and when he leaves out the door and finds that everything (the world is gone). I was shocked, at least that's what I thought what happened? I hope Usher's other videos and music off this album is better than this one.

I totally agree with "Kee, Kee" #3. I was disappointed of Usher's sound and wasn't feelin the colab with Jeezy. I too, was looking for a brand new sound. The song sounded like what is out here now. Not hatin, that's just my opinion. I did like the "Futuristic" theme. The ending gave me CHILLS. Usher can sure dance his AZZ for me any time! They his wife was there on the set giving Keri Hilson Hell! The woman is married to guy but still has "Insecurities" of herself! Usher, you just need to tell your wife and the mother of your kids that, "SHE IS OFF LIMITS" at your video shoots!

This song and video is whack, other than the dance sequence i ain't feeling it.Considering it's standing on all the charts i guess i'm alone on this one. We waited 4 years for this? We need to step up our music listening tastes. But Usher is still my boy, I just hope he kicks off something stronger next

I USED to think Usher was sexy as hell...but seems like since he got married, the "thrill is gone". I aint hatin on the brother, he's still cute but just not FINE anymore. For some reason, that old brawd of his seems to get in the way of his "sexy". I also wonder why we havent seen pics of the new bundle? It would be nice to see pics of the baby...hopefully they'll let the fans see him soon!

sorry people the video is hot stop hating.usher is a grown man now .and the video was a grown up video.he already done what chris brown is doing and the rest of the young singers are doing.he has nothing to prove.and for the people who are not feeling it u be in the buiness long as he is and do something better.but i do agree that the wife does take some of his sex appeal away.and dont hate on keri was not supposed to dance.her part was just to be the woman in the club he want to make love to.haters....

To sugafoot3080 #8. Keri had dance moves in the video from what I read, she was choreograph by Usher's choreographer. She might have not done steps like usher but she was dancing for him. She had to be taught in that video. She wasn't in the video just sitting or standing without moves on Usher.
Yes Chris is grown now, but his music needs to step it up! His music sounds like something that is out here now. People were expecting more from this first released music video and was disappointed, at least I was. I'm not hatin but hope that he has better music on his album soon to come. Everybody on here, has there own opinion. I like Usher too!
