TWO UNRELEASED USHER SONGS
Two unreleased songs from Usher's current "Here I Stand" album surfaced onto the music blogs over the long weekend. (Thanks Chris for the tip!)
The uptempo track "What Happens Here Stays Here" was produced by Timbaland and The Clutch. This song is the same vibe as "What's Your Name" and the other upbeat songs on "Here I Stand." It's a great party/club track.

The other unreleased track from Usher is called "Hush" a political anthem. "Hush" was released on iTunes today as apart of his nationwide campaign for his non-profit "Project Restart" program. As Usher best explained, "Hush' is about my awakening over the past 10 years to the social issues in our country and realizing that I have a voice. As Americans we have the right to speak out about slow recovery in the Gulf Coast, a long war and home foreclosures. But complaining isn't enough, you have to also take action," Usher says. "Whether serving at the homeless shelter or going to the polls for the first time, you have to act or else 'Hush.'" [MARKETWATCH]

In related news, there may be some truth to those persistent Usher/Tameka splitsville rumors according to Jawn Murray! Rumor has it that Usher's moved on to Kelly Rowland. Do you think these songs deserve to be off "Here I Stand"?

I think there is a few tracks of his that should have been put on the album. Interesting to see what he comes out with next though.
