Remember back in elementary school, when even though you were cast as a stage decoration with no lines in the school play, your mother was still the loudest person in the auditorium, screaming “There goes my baby!”? (No? Maybe it was just me.) Well, that’s just how Usher feels about his lady, minus the generation gap and blood relation, on his newest single There Goes My Baby, a cut so fantastically soulful it takes the singer back to his glorious 8701 days. With Jim Jonsin’s very ‘90s-sounding melodies and dashes of synth as a backdrop (‘90s=good, by the way), and the prodigious Rico Love lending some writing help, Usher’s voice floats, dives, and soars nicely enough to have us forgive him for his divorce anthem, Papers, and for refusing to cast me as a stage decoration in his Lil’ Freak video (his loss). Out of all of Usher’s recent work, this is my favorite. How about you? There Goes My Baby can be found on Usher’s certified smash album Raymond v. Raymond, in stores now.

 This is my favorite record off the new LP, so needless to say I am thrilled to see the label has chosen it for Usher's next single. It received a lukewarm push pre-release, maybe they were just testing the waters with it, so this time around I'd expect much much more (but then again, who knows?)
Songs like "There Goes My Baby" are why I've been a fan of Usher since my youth. His effortless vocals, range, control, and dynamical approach make him the elite - still.

This is the best song off the album and probally my favorite Usher song in a while. Everything just goes perfectly from the beat to the lyrics (Usher and Rico Love are a good pair) to the cool beat by Jim Jonsin. Can't wait to see the video of this.

Like a lot of you members, this is also my favorite song off the album and none of the songs even come close. This song is one of the best in Usher's career. Everything about this song is good, the production, vocals, and beat. The production is so smooth and allows Usher's voice to glide over the whole track. The chorus is hot as well, this track is absolutely flawless.

after a slow start i think raymond vs raymond is working its way up to be a great album and "there goes myb baby" is olny going to help that cause. definitely the best song off the album so far. not just a superficial, 'omg'-esque song, there is actually some soul in this which usher does better than anyone else.

Easily my favorite track off Raymond v Raymond. As Matthew alluded to in the intro, this has that old school Usher vibe (we're a long way from OMG here) that I love so much. With all the ab flexing and dancing it's easy to forget just how good of a singer Usher is - thanks for reminding us Raymond.

BY POPULAR DEMAND this is the single...and it's Usher being Usher again!
(P.S. I believe this will truly cement Rico Love's place among the elite in urban music songwriting. It started with "Throwback" from Confessions, and now it's matured into full form here. Have I ever told you how proud I am that Rico's made it? MILWAUKEE STAND UP!) TURN THE LIGHTS ON! (But kinda dim, let's keep the ambience) |

DAMN. Next best usher song. Vocals are smooth on this one, hits every note on this. Loving the beat too this too from Jim Jonsin. Dude always makes the hottest beats. I hope there's a remix of this with some rap on it.

finally, Usher is getting back to his real self I remember hearing him as a kid and loving it but lately nothing he has put out has been good. But great way to start the new album (with a #1 hit of course).

This definitely has my attention, and makes me feel like it is the old Usher, back in the day. So, therefore, I give this a four star rating. Only reason why it's not five, because Usher should have been doing this from the start. I think, he was just caught up in all of the fam, celebrity status, etc. But, this is definitely one of my favorites. Especially, in this time. Now and days, you wouldn't know what to expect, from artists. Especially, since Usher has been out for a long while...

Overall, I thought this was the best track on the album (though the production on Lil Freak is better). Usher's vocals sounded great (as always) and the production is great from Jonsin.
I dont get how OMG has became such a big hit, its probably one of the worst tracks ive heard Usher make. |
