Usher has returned, baby.
On “GLU,” his first new music in three years, the R&B legend turns up the heat. He reunites with Lil Jon and Sean Garrett on the sultry track, which he teased with an equally steamy video starring Lori Harvey, nearly 20 years after topping the charts with “Yeah.”
Usher sings falsetto, “I just love that glu / That slides down you whenever we start touchin’ / It gets all on you, all on me from fu**in’ / That’s when that glu done got you.”
Sean Garrett told Rap-Up, “‘GLU’ is such an authentic song for this time.” “This song has a lot of souls, based on the vibe of the record.” It’s been a long time since we’ve heard such a super sexy, seductive record, and this vocal performance is at its peak.”
Expect more music from Usher as he prepares to release his first album since 2016. “Of course, Usher and I are also working on an incredible album together,” Garrett added. “We’re going to follow this up with a couple of monsters for the clubs and the world!”Sean Garrett told Rap-Up, “‘GLU’ is such an authentic song for this time.” “This song has a lot of souls, based on the vibe of the record.” It’s been a long time since we’ve heard such a super sexy, seductive record, and this vocal performance is at its peak.”

Usher’s first release since collaborating with Gamma, the new company founded by former Apple Music executive Larry Jackson, is “GLU.” In September, he marked the 25th anniversary of his second album My Way with an expanded edition that included three new songs.
Usher’s “My Way” residency, which runs through July, can be seen live in Las Vegas. This May, he will also headline the Lovers & Friends Festival.
