Usher's New Album To Feature Drake, Nicki Minaj; 'UR' Still Doesn't Have A Release Date

Usher's new album called "UR" will reportedly feature collaborations with many artists including Drake and Nicki Minaj but its release date is still undefined.

Originally slated to come out later this year in conjunction with his "UR Experience" tour, Usher's new album "isn't scheduled anymore."

"I've basically taken it back. I'm taking my time with it," Usher said in an interview with Billboard magazine. "At the end of the day, all of this is just about having fun. You get in the studio [and] go with how you feel."

The R&B singer's eight studio album will reportedly also feature Jermaine Dupri, Pharrell Williams, Skrillex, Diplo, Pop & Oak, Ed Sheeran and Chris Brown.

"There is another record that we worked on for the album," said Usher about his latest collaboration with Brown. "The relationship is great... we've been able to build."

The "Good Kisser" singer also opened up about some new things fans can expect from the "UR."

"It's something that feels very modern, but the vocal on it feels very specific to my style," he said.

While his being a judge on "The Voice" and his acting job for "Hands of Stone" may have contributed to the delay of the album, it appears that Usher is just enjoying working on it. "It's not about a specific topic or specific period of my life. I work on 40-50 songs in making an album. I haven't finished the album enough to tell you what I'm talking about."

But Usher did explain how excited he was about the record and how it is something everyone should look out for in an interview with Fader last year. "It's gonna be freaking out of here, man," said Usher. "Space and sky, that's what it'll be. You look up, and it's everything you can imagine.

While Usher's new album release date has not been set, his "UR Experience" tour already is already confirmed and will start on November 1 in Montreal, Quebec.
