Usher Raymond, self-professed womaniser, seems to be walking the straight and narrow. On previous albums it would be all about how he got his chick-on-the-side pregnant or how there are too many girls for him to please. But not this time around…

After recently marrying his baby mama/PA/friend/dresser/woman the R&B seducer has gone for sensual rather than sexual. With songs like 'This Ain't Sex', the former bad boy is so in love it can get too much at times.

But it's not like he's forgotten to get down. Even though it seems as though he's cleaned up his act, you have to expect that one off the hook dance hit that is synonymous with this dance genius. That's where the smash hit 'Love In The Club' comes in. Yes he might just be as in love as they come, but can you deny the man a little bit of dirty? A collaboration with Young Jeezy, the song has already done well on the charts and, yes, in the club.

Sentimentality takes over on 'Moving Mountains' as he sings about how people in failing relationships still cling onto the hope that love might just return. But the song is just too mushy to be taken seriously — a mistake he doesn't repeat on the tender but genuine 'Prayer for You'. Sung with his newborn baby it is surprisingly devoid of schmaltz and simply beautiful in the way it shows the love between father and child.

These true modern love songs combine on the album with a mix of dance hits and the R&B soul you came to know Usher by. With a mix of country and rap and collaborations with big names like Jay Z and Beyonce, will.i.am and Lil' Wayne, 'Here I Stand' is as slick — and now surprising — as the man himself.
