- Confessions is the fourth studio album by American R&B and pop singer-songwriter Usher, released March 23, 2004 on Arista-imprint label LaFace Records. Recording sessions for the album took place during 2003 to 2004 with production by Jermaine Dupri, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and Lil Jon. Primarily an R&B album, Confessions showcases Usher as a crooner, and it also encompasses musical genres such as hip hop and crunk. The album's themes generated controversy about Usher's personal relationship; however, the album's primary producer Jermaine Dupri claimed the record reflects his personal story. Confessions was an instant commercial success in the United States, selling 1.1 million copies, the most copies ever sold in a week by an R&B recording artist. The album's continued success was bolstered by its four chart-topping singles. As a strategy to boost its sales amid threats of bootlegging, a special edition was issued with the hit single "My Boo". Despite some mixed criticism for its lyrical substance, Confessions received mostly positive reviews and earned Usher several awards. In 2005, the album won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album. Confessions has sold over 10 million copies in the U.S. , and has been certified diamond in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It has gone platinum and gold in over twenty other countries, selling more than 15 million copies.
- Confessions ist das vierte Studioalbum des US-amerikanischen R&B-Sängers Usher. Der Longplayer zählt mit weltweit mehr als 15 Millionen verkauften Einheiten (allein etwa 9 Millionen davon in den USA) zu den erfolgreichsten Alben des Jahres 2004. Die ursprüngliche Version des Albums brachte vier Singles hervor, darunter die Lil-Jon-Produktion „Yeah!“, die US-Auskopplung „Confessions (Part II)“, „Caught Up“ und die Mid-Tempo-Ballade „Burn“. Im Oktober 2004 wurde eine „Special Edition“ des Albums veröffentlicht. Der Re-Release beinhaltet sowohl das Duett „My Boo“ mit Alicia Keys, als auch zwei unveröffentlichte Tracks und einen zusätzlichen Remix.
- Confessions on Usherin viides albumi. Siltä julkaistiin neljä singleä: "Yeah!", "Burn", "Caught up" sekä "Confessions Part II". Albumista julkaistiin myös Special Edition, josta löytyy muun muassa yksi uusi versio nimikkokappaleesta sekä Usherin ja Alicia Keysin duettona laulama "My Boo".
- Confessions è il quinto album del cantante R&B statunitense Usher, pubblicato nel 2004. Contiene la hit internazionale Yeah!, e nell'edizione speciali My Boo in duetto con Alicia Keys.
- Confessions is het vierde studioalbum van de Amerikaanse r&b-artiest Usher. Het album werd uitgebracht op 23 maart 2004 en was het eerste album in bijna 3 jaar voor Usher. Met zijn single Yeah! werd het album een groot succes: nummer 1 in de Verenigde Staten en wereldwijd meer dan 13 miljoen platen verkocht. Daarmee is Confessions momenteel Ushers best verkochte album. De originele releasedatum werd vastgesteld op 30 maart, maar werd later met een week vervroegd. Usher heeft aan MTV verklaard dat hij voor het album geïnspireerd werd door Augustinus van Hippo. Er moest een persoonlijkere sfeer in de cd komen. De single Yeah! is als laatste op de cd geplaatst. Na het opnemen van alle nummers besloten Usher en de productie dat er een lead-single nodig was om als eerste uit te brengen. Daarom schakelden ze de hulp in van Lil' Jon. Met hem ontstond Yeah!, een nummer in de crunkstijl. De single Throwback bevat een sample van een nummer van Dionne Warwick uit 1973. Behalve Yeah! werden de volgende singles uitgebracht: Burn, Confessions Part II, My Boo en Caught Up.
