@@jazzyj904 An issue with the industry in regards to R&B is there isn't a standard anymore. In my opinion. Yes we should appreciate his talent but we should also acknowledge that there are levels to talent and his vocal range is more than impressive.

Didn't think we'd get a genuine official full performance of the song so soon, but I'm here for it. I love hearing how Usher performs certain songs live because a lot of times he makes these really cool and unique vocal choices that aren't on the records and it always sounds dope (just like he acknowledged at the end of this performance haha). If this is the rehearsal, I sure hope we get to see the final performance because this was top tier already. And I hope he keeps marketing this song if this is supposed to be the lead single for his album.

[@oDiiJei]

Lowkey I think they're testing waters with this song. Given a rehearsal vid and lyric vid have been published but no official video to speak of. Maybe I'm wrong, but if this is the direction we're going in musically, then I'm all in.

@@oDiiJei I know music videos sometimes come out weeks or months after a song is released. But I thought that Lori Harvey clip was teasing an actual video. Maybe that was just for promo.
