On its weaker side, Usher tries too hard to keep up with current trends. In fact the title track and the downright lush, “Tell Me” redeem the album after the skeletal and weak, Young Thug-assisted “No Limit,” which is just a bizarre shout-out to Master P extended into a full song for no particular reason. Quicklist: 1 title: Usher’s “Hard II Love” ***text: “Hard II Love” is either Usher’s eighth or ninth studio album, depending on how and if you count 2010’s add-on EP “Versus.” In all, this album is a heavily back-loaded mixed bag of a record, but the excellence of the final five tracks make up for the weaker moments in the first 10.
In this final week of summer, there are still a few more bright delights.
- intro: This week Usher returns with his latest album, “Hard II Love,” Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller gets chilled, punk band Against Me! continue to “shape shift,” electro- pop duo AlunaGeorge release their sophomore album, Bad Suns bring a pop-sheen to indie-rock sounds of the past and Cymbals Eat Guitars release their fourth album. Michael Strahan says Usher's new song, "No Limit," is one of his favorite songs on his morning playlist.
