Cover Story: Usher V Bieber

Hot off the heels from their Billboard performances, Usher and Justin Bieber grace the cover of Billboard Magazine.


According to Billboard it made sense that both Usher and Justin shared the cover. The Climax singer, took Justin under his wing and began mentoring the now 18-year old. The two have come full circle with both, set to release their highly anticpated follow-up albums later this year.


With Usher's 7th studio album Looking 4 Myself set for a June 12th release date, what can Usher fans expect? Well, Usher opens up about the new musical direction his taken: 

You really do want to make sure that you bring along fans that have always been there, but make sure that you grow and chart new territory. Even seven albums in, I still try to be innovative, blaze new trails, but allow people to come along on the journey. It's all about striving for greatness and offering the best that I have. It's no different than an athlete, or a boxer: standing in front of the person trying to tear his head off, he has to give his all to make it out of that ring.

Bieber's sophmore album hits record stores on June 19th and the official tracklisting includes features from Nicki Minaj, Big Sean, Ludacris and Drake. In the mag, Justin reveals that he doesn't want to lose his younger fans but he also wants to develop a more mature sound.
I always keep one foot out of my comfort zone, trying new things and experimenting—if you don't, people will get bored. Seeing the smiles on people's faces and how I affect them when I perform makes me want to give them the absolute best experience they can possibly get.
