Report by John Robinson from > BigChampagn.Usher( Usher Raymond IV )【 35 albums 516 lyrics 】 Usher Raymond IV (born October 14, 1978), is an American singer, songwriter, dancer and actor. The group just recently debuted their first single, and the album isn’t due out until more than two months from now: March 9th. Regardless of which, if any, date ends up being correct the leak will motivate those to-whom-it-may-concern to quickly get their ducks in a row and decide on one definitive date, which will likely be sooner rather than later.Īnd speaking of extremely early album leaks, the self-titled collaboration of Danger Mouse and James Mercer of The Shins, known as Broken Bell, has also leaked. Adding to the mystery is it’s complete absence on iTunes at the time of writing. Ditto Amazon for March 1st (keep a close eye on those pre-orders guys!). also has a pre-order option – but for February 2nd. So is Barnes and Noble, yet the album is absent from Borders’ site. Best Buy, Tower, Fye, CD Universe, and others are offering pre-orders for a February 16th release date. Now there is a lot of conflicting information on the release date in the digital retail world. Originally set to be released in “early 2010”, it was then set back to December 21st, and then to “TBD” status. Like Rebirth, the album’s release date has played a questionable game of hopscotch. Raymond began appearing online mid-day Sunday the 27th according to data from BigChampagne. Among the latest casualties is Usher, whose album Raymond Vs. It seems that Lil Wayne’s Rebirth is setting the tone for a string of very early big-name album leaks.
