Usher f/ will.i.am – “OMG”

[Deleted]

My bad...still, Universal.

[Grenade]

The LaFace imprint confuses me. I thought there was no such thing as LaFace anymore, but it always shows up in the video credits and other things for Usher, Pink and Ciara from time to time. I don't get it.

Usher is with Jive/Zomba (as well as Pink and Ciara), but now I think they've changed it to RCA/Jive.

I'm giving this a second listen and it's growing on me. It doesn't sound like a Pop hit to me tho.

[I'M ON ONE]

This is kinda hot, but I still don't fully get it...I guess it's a grower.

It feels like an interlude or something.

his label & management need to get it together before this era turns out like "Fantasy Ride" a whole bunch of wasted HOT material

I honestly think it's too late.

Usher went in front of the lens earlier this month to shoot a video for “OMG,” the first international single from his sixth studio album Raymond v. Raymond. Rap-Up.com spoke with the clip’s director, Anthony Mandler, who says Ursh’s new video will have you saying, well, “Oh my gosh!”

“I am right in the middle of finishing Usher,” shares Mandler, who’s directed videos for Rihanna (“Russian Roulette”), Jay-Z (“Run This Town”), and Eminem (“Beautiful”). The “OMG” clip, which was shot in Los Angeles, features will.i.am, who also produced the track.

While he wanted to keep the concept a surprise, Mandler did say this: “Let’s just say that the video is a spectacle. It really emphasizes what we love about Usher and the character and the icon that he is, and most importantly, it’s really a video that showcases his superstardom.”

The R&B heartthrob also filmed a video for “Lil Freak” featuring Nicki Minaj with director TAJ. His album Raymond v. Raymond drops March 30.

Ciara is on the same label as Usher. It all makes sense now.

[I'M ON ONE]

It's basically a mirror of what happened with "Fantasy Ride", all he needs now is to put out a duet with Justin Timberlake.

[angeltimes]

Usher has actually had some success with is urban singles though. So its not really the same.

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

This is the second most requested song at Hot 97 right now.

that's partially because of the hype, not to mention that Usher is a bigger artist than Ciara and she waited to long so her hype went down the drain

btw this video was directed by Anthony Mandler & Usher

[angeltimes]

I heard this on the radio.....they should have released Guilty to all formats.

[One More Time]

that's probably my favorite from the album it definitely needs to be a single at some point, and they need to go ahead and push this at Pop it's pulling in alot of adds and the reaction has been very positive.

Yes. It's like they're scared to send sh*t for adds. I don't understand it.

[Someone Like You]

But even odder is that they have no problem sending boring stuff like "Papers". It's like they want him to flop.

This has to be the biggest single choice mess since B' Day.

[One More Time]

This is so damn hot i've been jammin this every day.

[Grenade]

Top 50 at Pop and Rhythmic. This is going to be huge.

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

Yeah this is getting a really positive reaction everywhere it's played.

[I'M ON ONE]

I heard this on a mixshow in the car and it sounds HOT

I thought LaFace went under years ago? Wasn't it part of Arista?

That all happened back in 2001. P!nk's only album to have "Arista" on it is Try This. All of her other albums (IND & Funhouse included) all have "LaFace" on them.

EDIT: Just searched up "LaFace" and the first page you get is Jive's. It says Pink & Usher are on that label. If you search ARISTA, you get J Records. lol Not sure what happened where, but they're all apart of Sony Music Entertainment either way.

[Q]

I love this now. I'll probably end up liking it better then "Lil Freak" and thats in my top 5 Usher songs.

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

As messy as this era is, it's pretty incredible that a song that leaked from the internet that never went for adds as of yet is already Top 50 at Pop.

[Q]

If they focused on one song from the beginning he could have had at least 2 monster hits. Instead he'll have 3 or 4 popular songs that never reach potential.

Exactly.

But they should at least send this for adds officially to Pop. It's weird to me that NOTHING has gone for adds at Pop before an Usher album drops.
