CD Description
Three years after his debut album, 18 year-old Usher returns with a newly mature, seductively smooth voice, and a palpable sense of self confidence. What remains so appealing about Usher's soulful crooning and sexy whisper, however, is a youthful freshness and vibrancy. This unpretentious approach is felt throughout the album in the simple, clean production, especially on songs like the Babyface-produced ballad "Bedtime", which has lovely background vocals by Shanice Wilson.Funkier, more up-tempo songs include the title track, an R&B-tinged song endearingly lacking the slightest hint of humility: "from this day forth you know I'm all about heat/And what I do be the major league/That's why your girlfriend's paging me".

Customer Reviews

My Way - 4 stars
I've just listened to My Way by Usher, and it's just one of those CD's you can sit down and relax to. Although it's a short album, there are songs on it that draw your attention. The first track, You make me wanna... is a great way to start off the album as it highlights his vocal talent, although it need not be the last track as well. The extended version just adds a minute or so on to the song at the beginning with an instrumental, which is a bit pointless in my opinion.

Other songs which were pretty good were 'Come Back' and 'Bedtime'. Come Back displays a slight preview in to what 8701 is like (a more developed, edgier sound)and Bedtime is another song which shows off Ushers vocal talent.

Overall, this is a good buy. Although not as developed as 8701, it is still a worthy CD for Usher and R&B fans alike.

fantastic slice of r'n'b!!!!!
usher has created a fantastic album the songs are slick and have some cool raps from JD an Lil' kim. The best tracks have to be the number 1 smash "you make me wanna" and "slow jam". They are fantastic . i cant wait for the next album!!!

Usher's voice is sexy, smoldering.....
I normally don't like rap, but when I heard Usher/My Way for the first time I fell in love with some of the songs on this Grammy-nominated second CD by Atlanta native Usher. This CD isn't only rap but R&B. I enjoy Usher's smooth voice and the romantic lyrics he sings, especially in such tracks as the smoldering "Slow Jam" duet with Monica, the gentle yet sexy "I Will" with its catchy backbeat and sensual lyrics, and "One Day You'll Be Mine" which is good for either dancing or, shall I say, more intimate endeavors.

So even if you don't like rap, you might want to listen to Usher/My Way and maybe you'll be just as impressed as I was by this young man's voice and talent. He has released several other albums since this 1997 production (which also comes in a clean, less explicit edition), so if you like the material on this CD, maybe you'll listen to newer offerings by Usher such as 8701 and U-Turn.
