Usher works with Jay-Z
07/12/2006
Usher has called in Jay-Z to work on his new album.
The singer, whose last album, 2004's 'Confessions', sold 1.1 million copies in America in the first week alone, called in Jay-Z after helping out the rapper with his latest release, 'Kingdom Come'.
"Jay-Z came to me with the record. He said, 'This is one I don't want you to miss out on,'" said Usher.
"I feel it's about time for me to come out with an album. I'm not extremely enthused about where music has gone. I say that coming from listening to artists like Stevie Wonder, Prince, Michael Jackson - those great artists and iconic musicians. I feel music is at a standstill."
