Usher has announced a very special one off London show at HMV Hammersmith Apollo on Monday 11th June, the same day his new album is released. Usher Tickets go on sale Friday the 1st June at 9am, but American Express cardmembers can get tickets in the exclusive presale from 9am Friday 25th May 2012 to 3pm Thursday 31 May 2012.
On his seventh studio album, 'Looking 4 Myself', seven-time Grammy winner Usher Raymond takes some bold steps into unexpected musical territory. Assuming the most active role of his career as a songwriter, and working with a wide range of producers and collaborators — including Diplo, Swedish House Mafia, Max Martin, Will I. Am, and Empire of the Sun — one of the best-selling musical artists in history has blended electro dance beats with his signature, era-defining R&B, pop, and hip-hop sounds to create a style that goes beyond category.
Judging from the reaction to the first single, the atmospheric 'Climax,' Usher need not have worried. The song's video was viewed more than eight million times in less than a month, earning rave reviews from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and USA Today. In addition, 'Looking 4 Myself' is being released on the heels of two wildly diverse, multi-platinum chart-topping collaborations featuring Usher: 'Without You' by David Guetta, which held the Number One spot on the Pop charts, and 'Promise' with Romeo Santos, which reached Number One on the Latin charts.
Throughout his career, Usher has recorded with everyone from Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, and Shakira to Jay-Z, T.I. even Enrique Iglesias. He has appeared everywhere from Broadway to the Super Bowl. He is part owner of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers, has a best-selling line of fragrances, and a business venture with RBMG (Raymond Braun Media Group), home to superstar Justin Bieber.
