Usher has collaborated with a variety of musicians throughout the years, including Nicki Minaj, JAY-Z, and others, but he now wants to work with an unexpected performer.
Usher sat down with The Shade Room earlier this week for a brand-new interview where he talked about his life, work, and the critically acclaimed Confessions album, among other topics.
During the discussion, the host asked the singer whether there was someone he would still like to collaborate with but hasn’t yet, given the numerous projects he has worked on.
“You’ve collaborated with everyone you can think of, and you’ve even shared the stage with people like Michael Jackson. Is there anyone with whom you haven’t collaborated? host enquired.
Martin Scorsese is not the person you would anticipate, but he did not think twice to mention their name.
As an actor and creative, there are many truly wonderful directors, the singer said, thus he would like to collaborate with the illustrious director. But he thinks Scorsese can assist him in “spreading his wings outside of music.”
But it’s obvious that the singer would like to keep using music and doesn’t want to give it up. He even asserts that we need “more musicals that speak to our idea of what we consider to be entertainment.”
Usher even brought up the “theatrical” quality of his gigs and expressed his desire to combine that with a movie.
Usher wouldn’t be playing a part that is entirely new to him. The vocalist has appeared in a number of productions, including The Faculty (1998), She’s All That (1999), In the Mix (2005), and others.
In related news, Usher gave a disappointing response to a query regarding the likelihood of a Confessions sequel during another segment of the interview.
The notion of a follow-up to the ground-breaking record was dismissed by him as “just a rumor, at this point.” However, who knows? We’ll find out when we arrive.
We still have time, he continued. There is room and time to consider novel ideas. However, the 20-year-old was a really smart one. We commemorate 20 years of an album for each producer, writer, and creative who contributed in any way. The majority of people, after all, don’t even have professions that last that long. To actually have an album that has endured the test of time? I’m grateful to my fans for their ongoing support of the music.
