American R&B legend Usher has expressed his desire to join the band of foreign artists who are venturing into Afrobeats.
Usher, who recently collaborated with Nigerian artists, Burna Boy and Pheelz, in his latest album, stated in an interview with Apple Music, said that he wants to make his mark in Afrobeats
“I am all about collaboration and bringing African, you know, Nigerian culture to my own world. Their music is really popular now. I wanted to be part of it [Afrobeats], that’s why I went to Africa to make this album.
“I picked up things when I was in Ghana. I picked up things when I was in Nigeria. And working with Pheelz, he created the record [‘Homecoming’].
“I just felt that Burna Boy would take it to a different level of credibility. I really do enjoy him as an artist. I just felt that this song would only be lifted better if he was part of it.”
