werent they working on music since 2005 that still is not released...I loved Dont Take It Personal & Wifey...still havent been released to this day.

I dig it sounds good. It's a demo? Because the volume of the lead vocals in places seems off. Nonetheless good track.

Not sure. It was posted on ConcreteLoop.com.

Check out this new track from Usher and producer Pharrell Williams, entitled, “Certified”. Earlier this year, we told you Usher was in the studio with Skateboard P, so this comes as no surprise to us.

This track is supposedly off of Usher’s highly anticipated new album, Monster (slated to be in stores later this year) and with all the recent leaks from the album, I must say, it might be a good look for Usher this time around.

Oh Man, Usher needed to come back strong after that last failure of an album... this is off hook!!!

I did like that first track "This Aint Sx" but unfortunatley the rest of the albums did not sound like that. I hope "Only One" DOES NOT make an apperance on this LP.

plopping plops

Don't like.....even a little.

I like this. I think its an improvement for Usher

I like the chords on this, and the feel of the synths.

I like how all sections of the verse, hook, and bridge have the same chords looping and no guitar

no wait there is a short bridge!

lol.....

Graycap23 said:

he has that patch that should be replaced by a guitar playing, i know.

Cinnie said:

Nah.....the track is just 2 generic 4 me.

Graycap23 said:

yeah, it's not bad, but nothing special. Like an outtake from Kaleidoscope.

To me it sounds like a demo, I still dig it probably won't change anything for you Gray. If this is the finished product, the instrumentation bores me though. Cuz after the bridge it sounds so obviously cut and pasted that I hope it's a demo. Check it out.

NMuzakNSoul said:

oh no, that's a finished product! that's just Pharrell on Pro Tools

Graycap23 said:

What a suprise. Graycap, what do you like, honestly? You seem to have very high standards lol.

Anyhow, I like this song. It already sounds better than pretty much anything from Usher's last album. Hopefully, the rest of the album is as promising.

lol.....Today's music seems 2 be getting worse and worse.....
Good thing I have my old collection.

Graycap23 said:

I likes.....The chords make the song....

murph said:

I'm going 2 have 2 listen 2 the track on a sound system. These lil speakers in my office must not be doing the song any justice.

murph said:

which ones is he playing?

Pharrell uses intersting chord changes.

Graycap23 said:

Well...I''m a musician too and ahve some fancy speakers, it still gets boring instrumentation wise.

I like it but there's definitely something missing. It's a little too repetitive or something and I don't think Usher has the vocals to make it pop without adding something to the music and production.

graecophilos said:

like that would be a bad thing!

Graycap23 said:

Good thing for that lol

There is good music out there though, it's just not being played on mainstream radio.
