Review by Hideiti Omori

Album Review: "Wait For It" by Usher Released in 2016 under Atlantic Records, Usher’s Wait For It is a modest yet intriguing addition to the Contemporary R&B genre. With its roots planted firmly in Funk/Soul and R&B traditions, this Finnish-released project offers listeners a brief but memorable auditory experience. The album credits Lin-Manuel Miranda as the writer behind its titular tracks—a fact that adds an unexpected layer of intrigue given Miranda's reputation for storytelling brilliance. The album features two versions of the same track: “Wait For It” and “Wait for It..” While they might seem repetitive at first glance, these iterations are distinct enough to leave a mark. The original version stands out with its smooth production and Usher’s signature vocal finesse. His ability to convey emotion without overdoing it makes the song resonate deeply. You can almost feel the tension in the lyrics—a push-and-pull between patience and desire. Meanwhile, the second version (“Wait for It..”) takes on a more stripped-down approach, allowing the rawness of the melody to shine through. This subtle reimagining shows how small tweaks can breathe new life into a single idea. What sticks with me most about these tracks isn’t just their musicality but also their narrative weight. Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the man behind Broadway juggernauts like Hamilton, the lyrics carry a sense of urgency and introspection that feels almost theatrical. Listening to Usher deliver lines like “I am the one thing in life I can control” feels like peeking into a moment of personal reckoning. It’s not every day you hear R&B so unapologetically tied to broader artistic themes. For such a short release—essentially revolving around one central concept—the album manages to pack a punch. Its minimalist structure forces you to focus on the details, which is both refreshing and slightly risky. Some might argue there’s not enough variety here, but maybe that’s the point. In a world saturated with endless playlists and skip-happy streaming habits, Wait For It dares to ask for your full attention. Reflecting on this project, it strikes me how unusual it is to see Usher step into this particular lane. Collaborating with someone like Lin-Manuel Miranda? Releasing something so concise from an artist known for sprawling hits? It’s almost experimental in nature. And honestly, it works. Sure, it won’t appeal to everyone, but sometimes art doesn’t have to cater to the masses—it just has to exist authentically. Who would’ve thought Finland would play host to such a unique chapter in Usher’s discography? Definitely didn’t see that coming.
