Needless to day JLS‘s début album was pretty much 13 tracks of mid-tempo same old pop crossover R&B. If there is one thing is for sure they guys will not be transferred to legends like Boys II Men, Jagged Edge or Dru Hill – however the vocal potential is there however I’m still trying to get my head around why JLS has been restricted to use there vocal talents in any of there singles. With new album under development and edging toward production from June; huge producers such as Darkchild (who’s worked with the likes of Mariah Carey, Destiny’s Child, Britney Spears, J Holiday, Janet Jackson and Lady Gaga) have been called in to work on the album along side boyband superstar Justin Timberlake.

We are currently waiting for a further release date, and possible track list; it’s been official that JLS will be covering a huge soul ballad. For more info keep it MoMo.

While a number of songs have been rolled out thus far – some billed as ‘traditional singles’ and others ‘buzz’ singles, we have received word from the the singer’s label confirming that ‘OMG’ will serve as ‘Raymond vs Raymond’s’ first International release. (yay! thank god it’s not “Papers”, that died out like VHS!). The 30 year old Usher, echoed the news on Twitter a few hours ago, announcing that he is shooting the video with Black Eyed Peas front-man will.i.am – who produced and features on the song.

Of course I’m excited for this entire release, however – with the entire Billboard charts edging into this European Dance music vide, R&B is going to struggle and that means R&B artists will need to drop the hardcore R&B beats for their tracks to become slightly Air Play friendly. With Usher the brand being continuously strong and till this date Usher has never a commercial failure during his music career. Although, after receiving a few samples of the new album i’m confident that the singles lined will chart, however with Ke$sha, Rihanna and Justin Bieber pushing their new music around his release date could see some problems for the new single “OMG” to listen
