Are you feeling the LOVE...in this club???

It has been four years and finally Usher Raymond IV is back. After the unprecedented success of the Confessions' album one wonders if Usher will ever be able to produce another album of that calibre. His first single off his fifth LP (Here I Stand) titled Love In This Club featuring Young Jeezy is already breaking records, being the third highest gainer to number 1 in Billboard Chart's History. The song jumped 50 spots to take the number 1 position on the Billboard Top 100 Singles chart on March 15, 2008. The song is currently ranked number 5 on the Billboard charts.


The "Love In This Club" music video premiered earlier this week featuring appearances by Polow Da Don (the producer of the track), Keri Hilson (as Usher's love interest), Diddy, Robin Thicke and Kanye West. The video, Usher stated on Bet's 106 & Park on April 8th, is "a prelude of what is to come",with his album Here I Stand to tell his story from being a player to being in a relationship and trying to make that relationship work.


The video itself is not particularly spectacular. In fact for a song that talks about wanting to "make love in this club" the video is completely tame, not that I am an advocate for "loose" videos. However the video does leave the viewer wondering what will happen next...partially because enough hasn't happened yet. Usher jokingly warned all the listeners to this song, especially in the club, that he isn't responsible for what this song might make you feel like doing right there on the dance floor. So if you really feeling the love in this club remember to use protection!
