Usher finally unveiled the tracklist for his upcoming ninth studio album, Coming Home, revealing features from Latto, Burna Boy, 21 Savage and many more. The 20-song album due out on Feb. 9 — two days before Ush takes the stage at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to perform the halftime show at Super Bowl LVIII — also boasts features from The-Dream, H.E.R., Summer Walker and Usher’s BTS pal, Jung Kook.

“U been asking… so I had to deliver,” Usher said in the caption to a post on Wednesday (Jan. 31) featuring the song list. The album opens with the title track (featuring Burna Boy), followed by “Good Good” (with 21 Savage and Walker), “A-Town Girl” (with Latto) and “Cold Blooded” (with The-Dream).

Among the songs that don’t have features are: “Kissing Strangers,” “Keep On Dancin’,” “Bop,” “Stone Kold Freak,” “BIG,” ” On the Side,” “I Am the Party,” “I Love U,” “Please U,” “Luckiest Man,” “Margiela,” “Room in a Room” and One of Them Ones.”

The album ends with the remix of Jung Kook’s “Standing Next to You.” H.E.R. appears on the song “Risk It All” — which was featured on the soundtrack to The Color Purple — and Pheelz is featured on “Ruin.”

In the lead-up to the big game, Usher received the second most nominations in the music/recording categories for the 2024 NAACP Image Awards with five nods, just behind Victoria Monét’s six noms. Usher also recently previewed his plans for his Super Bowl, revealing that his plan to pack his entire career into 13 hard-hitting minutes has to be “perfect… I’ve been doing this for 30 years. I want people who have been a part of that journey to feel like it’s a celebration for everybody, for all of us, from the beginning up until this point.”

Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan are among the scores of artists who attended the festival since its founding in 1961 and graced its stages."
