    4 out of 5 stars Uncompromisingly Soul/R&B...there's no Pop on this one...   August 25, 2001
     30 out of 31 found this review helpful

    Usher's debut CD is an album that celebrates the undeniable Black soul power of post-New Jack Swing music, an era that saw the rise of acts like Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly and SWV. On this album, a somewhat chubby 14 year-old Usher is introduced. With production work by Al B. Sure, Puff Daddy, and Jodeci's DeVante Swing, (as well as shimmering background vocals by Faith Evans), this album is a "must hear" for folks who enjoyed the first half of 90s soul/R&B.

    There aren't any solid crossover hits like "You Make Me Wanna" or even "You Remind Me" on this album; rather, you get nothing but the smoothest jams. "Can U Get Wit It" is an early winner, produced by Jodeci's DeVante - the lyrics on this track (as well as the rest of the album) are extremely racy for a 14 year-old; oh well, that's showbiz for ya. The album continues on a consistently good basis, and then we reach "The Many Ways", an Al B. Sure midtempo that borrows heavily from Al B's work with Tevin Campbell (think: "Alone With You" from Tevin's debut)...anyhow, this song should have been a single in my opinion...

    "Love Was Here" is an extremely soulful song (once again, Al B) with Faith Evans shining through on the backgrounds, but it's DeVante's masterpiece "Whispers" that really sets things off in a major way, and is still to this day (after almost 7 years) my favorite song that Usher ever recorded; extremely smooth, dark and mysterious (thanks to DeVante), "Whispers" is probably the only reason to try out this album in my opinion - if you like soul/R&B.

    There really isn't a bad song on this debut, and production-wise it was defintely top notch, yet underrated because it didn't cross over to the "mainstream" pop audience; but for the R&B headz, I cannot recommend this album enough. The best way to describe Usher's sound on this album (he's still trying to find himself here) is at times like Tevin Campbell, sometimes like Tony Thompson of Hi-Five, and amazingly (like on "Can U Get Wit It") he sounds like Ginuwine...

    Bottom line: this album is Usher's super-plush, velvety R&B masterpiece.

    C.H.R.


    5 out of 5 stars USHER IZ A TRU ARTIST   June 19, 1999

    I LOVE THIS CD. IT'S MOSTLY WHAT I LISTEN TO. ALL THE SONGS ON HERE WERE SO BEAUTIFUL AND USHER'S VOICE JUS CARRIED OUT THE SONGS SO WELL. MY FAV. ARE : "THINK OF YOU" "SLOW LOVE" AND "THE MANY WAYS." I PERSONALLY THINK THAT THIS ONE(USHER) WAS BETTER THAN HIS SECOND ONE (MY WAY). IF YOUR A USHER FAN AND HAVEN'T GOT IT YET U BETTER GO GET IT!

    Usher did an excelent job, for his first cd. Everyone that doesn't have it should get it. It is the best cd in the whole world. I could not live with out it, I would die. I'm listening to it now.

    Think....BET Live, Usher- The many ways...... Produced by Al B Sure! What else needs to be said? For a 14 year old, a helluva voice and with the right people in the background...... he was not going to be denied.
