Apparently, fans of R&B star Usher Raymond are frothing at the mouth in anticipation of the singer’s next album. More commonly known as simply “Usher,” the superstar will be releasing his next studio album next month instead of the scheduled June 2008 date.

According to a press release from the Jive subsidiary label, the move was initiated to “satiate” Usher’s fans. The album is reportedly titled Here I Stand and is the new father’s first release since 2004’s mega hit Confessions.
