The 'King of R&B' Usher might be getting ready to release a new EP "Versus," but that hasn't stopped him from filming a video for current single. With Usher joining all the artists going towards a dance pop direction, he has finally dropped this new video on BET and Vevo for his mid-tempo R&B urban single "There Goes My Baby" from his latest platinum-certified album, "Raymond vs. Raymond," to show that he hasn't forgot about his urban fans and that he can still do R&B. This heartfelt ballad was the first promotional single for album, but later it was released as the record's fourth single.The slow-burning ballad song has been out for a very long time with a lot of radio spins since even before the album dropped back in March. We have to say this is the longest we had to wait for the video of a hit record. The song is a really smooth and sexy R&B jam that has a lullaby style melody. Usher explained the song's origins to The New York Times on March 26: "The feeling of it is if you have a true connection with somebody, no matter what happens in life, it will always come back," he said. "No matter how long it takes to make it through whatever issues pull you apart, something pulls you back together. The rest is between the lines."
The R&B crooner slows it down and seduces the ladies in his brand new music video which was directed by Anthony Mandler is quite similar to Usher's previous music videos. Basically, this clip gives fans a look at "every man's desire for women," according to Us Weekly. The 31-year-old R&B singer is seen occasionally wears a tank top, and goes shirtless. He does some Tai-Chi-inspired dance moves on a hillside at sunrise, some lonely, tortured singing to a concrete wall and eventually, in the grand finale, consummates his relationship with his beautiful leading lady.
Time is testament to the mark of greatness, and for this era that mark belongs to Usher, the consummate entertainer who transcends the boundaries of popular culture, redefining the nature of superstardom. After 14-year-old Usher was spotted by a LaFace record executive at a talent show in his hometown of Atlanta in 1992, it took no time for his career to take off. Usher's considerable achievements begin with over 45 million records sold world wide and a stable of five Grammy awards. The singer, composer, producer, actor, businessman, designer and philanthropist is the quintessential contemporary icon, celebrated for nearly two decades. Usher has come into his own as a sage artist, skillfully capturing the stirring emotions of the human heart in a complete, balanced album in soul-stirring jams, in serious grown man fashion.
