Usher Reveals Plans For a New Album & Upcoming Movie Role

Usher has been undeniably busy these days, but in the thick of it all, he's decided to release a new album. He recently revealed his musical plans and other ventures, including an upcoming movie role.

Although he did not go into depth about his forthcoming release, he did confirm that more music is on the way.

"The album is coming," he told Billboard. "Right now, it's not the topic of discussion because of all the other things I've been doing."

As of late, Usher has been preoccupied developing a back-to-school collection with Target and serving as a coach and mentor of NBC's The Voice as well as maintaining his philanthropic efforts through New Look. He is also prepping to star in a film as Sugar Ray Leonard.

"There's Yoobi and the product launch at Target, my philanthropy through New Look, appearing on the Nina Simone tribute album [Nina Revisited, out now], coaching and mentoring up-and-coming talent on The Voice and before that playing Sugar Ray Leonard [in the 2016 movie Hands of Stone]."

While it looks like Usher is determined to branch out as much as possible, fans will have to hold out a little while longer for the album.

"There are so many other things, which is what you have to be in this day and age," Usher said of his new ventures. "It just can't be one thing; that's simply just not who I am. I try my hardest to make sure people know every bit of my personality and every bit of what my passions are. Yoobi is one in a series of projects that are coming in the future that will be both philanthropic and creative. But the album will come when it comes."
