The R&B star Usher told the Associated Press: "What better way to get up close and personal than to make it all women?" The R&B singer is ready to start a tour only for the ladies, saying that he was finalizing dates at nearly 15 venues because he believes the women want to see if he still has that masculine side inside him. His last album, “Here I Stand” was released this year in May and the artist gained success with his single “Love In This Club.” The single quickly became No. 1 in Billboard Hot 100 and turned into Usher’s 8th number-one song. "I feel like I've had such a connection with my audience. This album, I felt like, was definitely the type of one that was more intimate,” Usher added about the album. “Here I Stand” is also Usher’s sixth release in his 14-year career. He won the Grammy Award five times. He gained fame in the 1990s and until now has sold nearly 30 million albums all around the world. Usher is also part owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers National Basketball association franchise and he has his own record label, US Records. Singles like “Yeah,” “Burn” or “Confessions Part II” topped Billboard’s Hot 100 singles charts. Later, he became the third lead artist in pop music history to have three singles inside the Hot 100’s top since The Beatles and the Bee Gees in 1964 and 1978.
