Usher is stripped and sexy with a model on the latest cover of Fault Magazine, and the "Voice" coach also took the opportunity to discuss the ups and downs of the last three years and how he's preparing to release a new album.
Usher is hoping that his new record will reflect the tough times that he's had to endure, including the death of his former stepson and his eldest son Usher V being hospitalised. He told Fault;
It’s still a work in progress. I’m at a place where I really just want to have fun and do what I feel is significant to me.These last three years have been the hardest times of my life. I’ve wanted to break down, I’ve wanted to quit. I’ve wanted to throw in the towel but my spirit wouldn’t allow me…
The one thing the album represents is confidence. Not confidence in a cocky way, but being open about what I feel, take it or leave it. If I’m not honest about my feelings then you’ll never know how I really feel.
