Good news Usher fans.

Listen Y’all…

The Grammy winner R&B star Usher’s record label publicized that his fifth studio album, Here I Stand, will drop May 27—just four years after the release of his smash hit, Grammy- recognized Confessions, way in advance than its earlier scheduled June unveiling.

According to a statement from Zomba Label Group (a Jive subsidiary), the schedule was advanced to “satiate” those clamoring Usher aficionados.

Usher, enjoyed colossal fame and accomplishment in 2004, then got married and fathered a son, boasting a No. 1 single, “Love in This Club,” to show case for his newest endeavor. The music video is scheduled to premiere April 7 on MTV.

The artist said “Yeah” to cowriting the melody, which also guest stars rapper Young Jeezy. Other definite guest singers on Here I Stand comprises of Ludacris (featured on “Dat Girl Right There“), Jermaine Dupri and T-Pain.

While Usher himself remained hushed to comment, Dupri and producing lineup Dre & Vidal have granted some remarks anyway as to what to anticipate from Usher’s newest effort,.

“I don’t know how the whole album is coming,” Dupri told MTVNews.com in February. “I’m not there at Arista or [Jive] now. I can’t see the album as a whole. I heard a lot of the other songs. As far as I’m concerned, it started feeling good. It’s still growing. [Usher's] in the process of making more songs.“
