USHER’s Road to Halftime on Apple Music Press Conference: Live updates

There's new messages

LIVE updates of Usher's interview ahead of Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show

Coming Home

Usher’s first studio album in eight years will be released tomorrow, two days before his Super Bowl performance. “Good Good” is the one single he’s already released from the album and it features Summer Walker and 21 Savage.

The album is full of collaborations with different artists, including Burna Boy, H.E.R., Latto, and BTS’ Jungkook.

Now then…WHO IS USHER BRINGING AS A SPECIAL GUEST?

Well, Alicia Keys is definitely a possibility but she’s just one of several artists that Usher has collaborated with. Other big names he’s worked with include Chris Brown, Beyonce, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, P. Diddy, David Guetta, Gucci Mane, Ludacris, Justin Bieber, Pitbull, Rick Ross, and Juicy J.

Any of those artists could show up and definitely more than one could potentially join. All Usher has said so har is that he doesn’t want to give too much away, but that we can expect to see his whole legacy represented on stage.

“I will say that that moment will not only represent me, but it will represent my legacy and the things that I've been a part of in collaboration. It will remind the world that when you do collaborate, something amazing does happen."

Let’s speculate - what could Usher’s setlist look like?

Usher has so many hits, it’s hard to say which ones he’ll choose to play in just 15 minutes. Of those many hits, he has had nine No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100.

He will most certainly perform “Yeah!”, which is the song he used in his Apple Music Halftime Show trailer and arguably his most popular.

It’s also highly likely he’ll play “Confessions, Part II”, one of the songs that mark a turning point in his career as an R&B artist. After that, there are so many possibilities, but here’s a few I’m thinking - “U Don’t Have to Call”, “You Make Me Wanna”, “U Remind Me”, “OMG”, DJ Got Us Fallin in Love”, “Love in This Club”, and at least one from his new album, perhaps his already-released single, “Good Good”.

There’s a good chance he’ll play at least one song from his slow jams mixed in there as well - potentially, “U Got It Bad” or “Burn”? He did say in an interview recently that “U Got It Bad” is his favorite song to sing.

If we think he might bring on Alicia Keys? “My Boo”. Which would be amazing.

Usher gets an extra 2 minutes!

Halftime performers typically only get about 13 minutes to perform at the Super Bowl, but Usher’s team was able to get a 15-minute slot secured.

Hopeful for hints!

Usher has already dropped a few hints about the setlist and possibility of bringing a surprise guest! But we’re hoping this interview brings even more clarity on what we can expect from to see and hear this Sunday.

Welcome to our LIVE updates of the Usher press conference!

Super Bowl LVIII is coming up THIS Sunday and for some, the best part about the Game isn’t the Game at all. It’s halftime, when each year, different musical artists put together a short, but spectacular performance for our listening and viewing pleasure. This year, as I’m sure you’ve heard by now, it’s Usher. And he has promised to “bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before."

With the Halftime Show just days away now, Apple Music Radio’s Nadeska Alexis will be talking with Usher about his performance, what we can expect, and of course, his new album “Coming Home”, which will drop tomorrow, just ahead of his Super Bowl performance.

We’ll be here to bring you the latest updates and of course, a little speculation, from today’s interview as we get ready to be wowed by Usher on Sunday!
