Usher: Undisputed King of 90’s & 00’s R&B

Listen closely, faithful souls of R&B and soul. In a world where titles come and go faster than a chorus on the radio, there are few who can truly lay claim to the throne. But if we're talking about the undisputed ruler of 90’s and 00’s R&B, there's only one name that stands with golden letters on the crown. Drum roll please ... We're talking about Usher Raymond IV, or simply Usher. You know, that man who has been making your speakers vibrate and your heart race for decades with that silky smooth voice and those moves you can't help but love.

We all remember that young lad who thundered into the scene in the late ’90s. With albums like ‘My Way,’ he dropped one banger after another, giving us timeless tracks like ‘Nice & Slow’ and ‘You Make Me Wanna.... He was no one-hit wonder; no, this man was here to stay. And how! He grabbed the microphone and stole hearts faster than you could say ’yeah! His charisma was unparalleled even then, and his talent? That spoke volumes. He set the tone for what R&B was supposed to be in those days: smooth, sensual and full of emotion.

Then came the masterpiece that definitively confirmed his status as R&B royalty: ‘8701. An album that became the blueprint for modern R&B, full of tracks that still fit effortlessly into any set list today. Think ’U Remind Me‘ and ’U Got It Bad. But the real crowning achievement? That must have been ‘Confessions. That album was a true landslide. Over 10 million copies sold in the U.S. alone, and a worldwide phenomenon. It was an album full of personal stories, raw emotions and productions that still sound like they were recorded yesterday. ’Yeah!‘, ’Burn‘ and ’Confessions Part II‘ are not just any songs; they are anthems that take us back to those golden years of R&B. We think ’Confessions‘ is one of the most influential R&B albums of all time, but what do you think?

What makes Usher so unique is not just his voice or his catalog of hits. It is his total package. That energy on stage, his ability to put on a show that takes your breath away, and his constant evolution without losing his roots. He has inspired countless artists and raised the bar for R&B performers impossibly high. Even now, after all these years, he remains relevant and proves time and again why he more than deserves that title of ‘King. He is a true G.O.A.T. in the game, and you don't say that lightly.

So yes, ‘Call Him King’ indeed. Usher has proven that he is not just an artist, but an icon, a legend, and the undisputed ruler of his realm. And we at Michelle's Midnight Melodies can't get enough of it. Long live the king!
