Usher announces intimate London show

Usher has announced a very special one off London show at HMV Hammersmith Apollo on Monday 11th June, the same day his new album is released.

Tickets go on-sale Friday the 1st June at 9am. Buy sold out tickets here and check out all other tickets here.

On his seventh studio album, LOOKING 4 MYSELF, seven-time Grammy winner Usher Raymond takes some bold steps into unexpected musical territory. Assuming the most active role of his career as a songwriter, and working with a wide range of producers and collaborators—including Diplo, Swedish House Mafia, Max Martin, Will I. Am, and Empire of the Sun—one of the best-selling musical artists in history has blended electro dance beats with his signature, era-defining R&B, pop, and hip-hop sounds to create a style that goes beyond category.

Judging from the reaction to the first single, the simmering, atmospheric "Climax," Usher need not have worried. The song's video was viewed more than eight million times in less than a month, earning rave reviews from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and USA Today.

In addition, LOOKING 4 MYSELF is being released on the heels of two wildly diverse, multi-platinum chart-topping collaborations featuring Usher: "Without You" by David Guetta, which held the Number One spot on the Pop charts, and "Promise" with Romeo Santos, which reached Number One on the Latin charts.
