Usher showed the rock side of his personality with a new cover of Foster the People‘s ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ on which he played bass guitar.

It truly is a huge week for new music, with many different styles and truly something for everybody. Call him the comeback kid after a very public break up and divorce, he has come back strong and better than ever. I am talking about Usher of course. I was lucky enough to see him in concert 8 years ago, and he proved that he is the ultimate show man.

We are about a week away from the release of Usher‘s new album ‘Looking 4 Myself’ and it already has sprung a leak. Following the R&B superstar’s club banger ‘Scream,’ comes this groovy soul track ‘Twisted’ featuring Pharrell Williams.

With just over a week until Usher‘s ‘Looking 4 Myself’ officially arrives, the singer is giving fans a chance to preview the album with 30-second snippets of 15 of the 18 tracks on the deluxe edition. The eight-minute clip posted on SoundCloud reveals plenty of sexually-charged lyrics and a lot of dance music.

Usher has teamed up with American Express, VEVO and YouTube to present ‘American Express Unstaged,’ a live online streaming concert on June 11 at 4PM EST. The show will take place at the Hammersmith Apollo in London and is directed by Hamish Hamilton.

Usher opens up about his past relationships in the latest issue of Q magazine. The R&B superstar, who is currently locked in a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife Tameka Foster, reveals that he’s been a playboy when it comes to his relationships with women.

Usher brought the sexy with his sizzling performance of ‘Scream’ at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday (May 20) in Las Vegas. Usher appeared on stage looking like a chap from London. He was dressed in throwback tuxedo suit and top hat — talk about being dressed to kill.

Not only are Justin Bieber and Usher good friends, they are also competitive as well. When the R&B crooner held his one-day run in the off-Broadway production of ‘Fuerza Bruta’ to preview his new album ‘Looking 4 Myself,’ Biebs came through to support his boss.

Usher hit the stage of ‘Saturday Night Live’ on the second-to-last episode of the season last night (May 12). He was butter smooth, with his dance moves, his singing and his emoting. It was his third time taking the ‘SNL’ stage in his career, so at this point, he’s a vet!

Chart-topping artists Kelly Clarkson, Usher and Nelly Furtado have been added to the star-studded list of performers for the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. ABC will air the event live from Las Vegas at 8PM ET on May 20.

‘Without You’ was such a huge success for Usher and David Guetta that the performers have decided to work on new music together. Guetta confirmed The Hollywood Reporter‘s inquiry about whether he’s planning to team up with the R&B star again.

Usher‘s heartbreaking ballad ‘Climax’ has reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard R&B / Hip-Hop Songs chart. The song is the first single from his upcoming album ‘Looking for Myself,’ which arrives in stores on June 12.
