He’s been putting in extra work now that his Las Vegas residency is on the horizon, but Usher hasn’t abandoned his time in the studio. The singer has been carefully preparing for his residency at the Colosseum inside Caesar’s Palace, and it all begins July 16. While he works out all the stops to bring a show to the strip unlike any other, Usher has also been working on new music.

We haven’t received a full-length studio album from usher since 2016’s Hard to Believe, and it’s reported that later on this year Usher and Co. are set to release Confessions II.

Dupri shared a video clip of Usher in the booth working on a new track. “It’s coming,” the So So Def mogul penned in the caption. Check it out below.
