This is what Usher says in his new interview with Fault magazine in regards to making the music that HE wants to make. This sounds like bullsh*t to me. If this was really the case, he would not have delayed his album after BOTH singles underperformed. He obviously CARES, or at least someone at his label does.
Usher is certainly cranking up the raunch in this new shoot. Check out another pic below.
