Usher is Coming Home. The ninth studio album by the R&B legend was released today (Feb. 9) which features 20 tracks including singles “Good Good” with Summer Walker and 21 Savage, “Risk It All” with H.E.R. (from 2023’s The Color Purple soundtrack) and “Standing Next To You (Remix)” with Jungkook. The singer dropped the tracklist last month with a message: “U been asking…so I had to deliver.”

Usher Announces Past Present Future Tour

In addition to the new album, fans who couldn’t come to his Vegas residency will now have a chance to see him on tour. The R&B star announced his Past Present Future Tour this week, which will start in Washington, D.C., and make his way to Brooklyn, Atlanta, Miami, and more over the course of his 24-stop trek. He will also be the first performer at Los Angeles’ Inuit Dome.  The tour will end in Chicago after two nights on Oct. 28 and Oct. 29 in the city’s United Center.

Usher’s Super Bowl Halftime Show

Next up for Usher is his Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday (Feb. 11). It was recently announced that the singer’s Super Bowl performance will be longer than previous sets by two minutes. Usher’s Super Bowl Halftime performance is set to clock out at 15 minutes.

In an interview per VIBE last month, the “Superstar” crooner said that the show will implement his love for rollerskating, have a “major costume change,” and honor R&B music.

In his latest interview with Vogue, in which he graces the cover alongside model Carolyn Murphy, Usher gave some insight on what is to come of his Super Bowl performance.

“This night was specifically curated in my mind to have R&B take the main stage,” Usher told the publication.

He added that the artists selected to be a part of his set are “people who represent, for him, the genre’s architects…Not just R&B music, but R&B performance, R&B connection, R&B spirit.”

Usher: Artists He Should Bring Out At The 2024 Super Bowl

• Beyoncé

  After Usher played an April Fool’s joke during his Dreamvile concert performance, he certainly owes his fans to bring Beyoncé out. The superstars only have one song together which is “Love In This Club Part II.” However, they had very memorable performance for Usher’s Live From Puerto Rico concert special back in 2005. Beyoncé stayed on stage for Usher’s performance of “Bad Girl” and fans would not mind if they decided to have a repeat performance. Take a look at the throwback moment here. She headlined one of the best Halftime shows ever, in 2013. In 2016, she stole the show when she guested with Coldplay.

• Alicia Keys

  Alicia Keys and Usher did not beat dating allegations after they dropped “My Boo.” While they didn’t date in real life, it is definitely fans’ top features for both artists. The duet by the R&B powerhouses was released in 2004 and served as the fourth single on Usher’s Confessions album. We hope that Alicia’s invitation to the Super Bowl stage is already out there.

• Ludacris & Lil Jon

  We’d love if Usher, Jon, and Luda could do it again — and this time at the Super Bowl. Usher has two hits with both artists including “Lovers and Friends” and “Yeah.” Both songs are high energy compared to Usher’s soulful R&B tunes which would be a great overall vibe to his show.

• will.i.am

  If Usher really wants everybody up and out of their seats he definitely needs to send an invite over to Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am. The two made “OMG” in 2010 which served as the fourth single on Usher’s album Raymond v. Raymond. The song is a part of Usher’s “EDM era” which was a popular sound in the 2010s. Fans responded well to Usher’s “OMG” which gave the legend his ninth No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

• 21 Savage & Summer Walker

  To “usher” in his new era, the singer should invite 21 Savage and Summer Walker on stage. Both artists are on his song “Good Good” which will be on his new album Coming Home. The LP will be released on the same day as the Super Bowl which is February 11.
