Usher Unveils 'Hard II Love' LP

BY Calum SlingerlandPublished Aug 25, 2016

R&B legend Usher has been on a bit of a hot streak this summer, having released a handful of solo singles and popped up for a few features. Now, it's all about to result in a new album set for release next month.

A listing from iTunes New Zealand reveals that Usher's eighth studio album will be titled Hard II Love and will arrive on September 16 through RCA. The album's artwork, featuring a crumbling stone bust of the artist's head, can be seen above.

While the page has yet to reveal the full tracklist, previously released singles "Crash" and the Young Thug-assisted "No Limit" are among the 15 songs included. "Missin U" and "Champions," the latter coming from the upcoming film Hands of Stone, are also visible. 

While we await further details on Hard II Love, pick up a copy of Exclaim!'s September Issue to read our Timeline on Usher's career, or learn five facts you may not know about the R&B star here.
