A photo of Usher sitting in front of a whiteboard that reads, “Confessions 2” was uploaded to Instagram Wednesday (March 27).
The cryptic caption, “Dis what yall want…” has spurred speculation about the possibility of a follow-up to Usher’s award-winning album, Confessions.
Jermaine Dupri, the producer involved in the creation of the 2004 album, uploaded the same photo with the caption, “Usher Party !!” a few hours after. The coinciding photos seem to be a little more than coincidence, leaving us optimistic about the validity of the speculated announcement.
Usher’s fourth studio album was a seminal release for the vocalist that became a numbers success and a critically acclaimed hit that impacted an entire decade.
