Usher was set to release his next album, Raymond Vs Raymond, in early 2010, but since the single “Papers” has everyone buzzing, he won’t keep fans waiting much longer. The singer has bumped up the album-release date to December 21, a rep for Usher confirmed to MTV News.

Atlanta-based producer Bryan Michael Cox spoke with MTV News recently about his work on the upcoming album, promising a deeply personal project from Usher.

I think Usher is in a place where he really wants to express what’s going on in his life, as any artist would, Cox said, referring to Usher’s recent divorce from Tameka Foster-Raymond. All the greats did it….(THANKS FOR THE NEW ANTHEM FOR THE MEN FOR ONCE!!)
