Usher: 'I Don't Have To Sell Crazy Amounts of Albums'
The singer has revealed it's not all about the numbers anymore as he stars as Fault's cover star...
Lucy BaconUsher has revealed his latest album isn't about selling out tours and crazy amounts of records, but instead an honest representation as to how he really feels.
The Burn singer makes his mark as Fault magazine's cover star, as he promotes his new single 'She Came To Give It To You' and chats music, movies and The Voice.
"I don't feel that I've got to sell out this tour, or sell crazy amounts of albums, or have the number one single. It's great to have all those things, but that isn't what I'm doing," he said.
"The one thing the album represents is confidence. Not confidence in a cocky way, but being open about what I feel, take it or leave it. If I'm not honest about my feelings then you'll never know how I really feel."
On being a coach on The Voice: "The more I know about life, the more I know about people, the greater the person I am, the more understanding I have about how to make music and how to do things that will grow us as people."
He went on to chat about his friendship with Sugar Ray Leonard, who he is playing in new movie 'Hands of Stone'.
"I spent time with him in Atlanta, and here in Los Angeles. We boxed together; we chilled. He became a great friend of mine, almost like a brother to me."
The singer also posed for a pretty racy spread for the mag, styled by Sammy and Judy (aka The Kids).
Usher's new single 'She Came To Give It To You' featuring Nicki Minaj is out September 28.
(Everybody knows what's up cause everybody wanna get next to me)

Imagine she came here to get away
Well she don't want nobody crowding her space
Wouldn't that be weird? Aw yeah
She was up tonight to get down
But she don't wanna be a part of the crowd
Wouldn't that be weird? Aw yeah
I'm so confused, if you only knew she came to give it to you
Said It ain't what you do, its what you do tonight
And there ain't no shortcut, to doing something right
If you knew what I knew, she'll be yours tonight
Just look around the club cuz, you're here to have a good time
So many benefits to to being quiet, just be cool enjoy the ride
‘Cause all you really wanna do is, wouldn't that be weird? Yeah
Don't be stingy with it pass the J, let her hit it if it's headed her way
My nigga, that's weird
(You don't let her hit it, you don't let her hit it)
I'm so confused, if you only knew she came to give it to you
Said It ain't what you do, its what you do tonight
And there ain't no shortcut, to doing something right
If you knew what I knew, she'll be yours tonight
Just look around the club cuz, you're here to have a good time
Yo, he want the flirty girl, I'm the girly girl

Ladies who you trying to get it popping with? Men
No little boys in the circle of Usher, got'em under pressure
When your girl come through, Nicki gone crush her
And tell your man play the back like a spine
He only last six seconds like a Vine
I'm so confused, if you only knew she came to give it to you
Said It ain't what you do, its what you do tonight
And there ain't no shortcut, to doing something right
If you knew what I knew, she'll be yours tonight
