One word describes the CD 8701 from Usher... AWESOME!

The CD kicks off with a great track, U Remind Me, that I suspect will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It’s a really nice track.

8701 has a nicely varied, mix of 15 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.

If you’re a Usher fan, or just a fan of Pop music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.

While this entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 5 - U Got It Bad, track 11 - How Do I Say, and track 15 - U R The One.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 2 - U Remind Me. Good stuff!

Usher originally released 8701 on August 7, 2001 on the LaFace label.
