Usher has big plans for 2024. In addition to headlining the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show presented by Apple Music, the Grammy-winning R&B icon will also be releasing his next album.
Coming Home, the Atlanta superstar’s ninth studio set, will arrive the same day as his Super Bowl Halftime Show on Feb. 11, 2024. This marks Usher’s first new album since 2016’s Hard II Love, which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. The upcoming album’s artwork features a shirtless Usher holding a peach behind the back of his neck.
Coming Home will feature Usher’s previous 2023 release “Good Good,” featuring Summer Walker and 21 Savage. The track reached No. 12 on Billboard‘s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart.
In addition to his new album, Usher will take the stage at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium to perform the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show. “It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before,” the singer said in a statement. “Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I’ll see you real soon.”
This year will mark the fifth year of the partnership between the NFL and Roc Nation to produce the Halftime Show, after a deal struck in 2019. That partnership has resulted in halftime shows by Shakira and Jennifer Lopez (2020), The Weeknd (2021), a hip-hop showcase anchored by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar (2022), and Rihanna (2023).
The show will be produced by DPS, with executive producers Roc Nation and Jesse Collins, and will be directed by Hamish Hamilton.
