Usher on Wednesday, I asked him if R&B had fallen off since he was one of the biggest stars of the genre in the late ’90s and ’00s. “I don’t think that R&B is not what it used to be,” he responded.
“I think that there’s not enough platforms for R&B to be what it used to be.”No shade — but to my mind, he was being kind. Because Usher’s new album “Coming Home” — which dropped on Friday, two days before he headlines the halftime show at Super Bowl LVIII — is a refreshing return to the kind of authentic R&B that has been missing from today’s music.On his first solo LP in eight years — since 2016’s “Hard II Love” — the artist born Usher Raymond IV takes R&B fans back to a place that feels just like home.It’s a feeling that you didn’t even know how much you missed until the 45-year-old superstar makes you feel it again.After all, it’s Usher, baby.From the “Off the Wall”-era Michael Jackson moves of “Keep on Dancin’” and the Prince-esque panty-dropping of “Please U” to the spacey electro-soul of “Kissing Strangers” — which shows you just how much The Weeknd owes to Usher — the man is the smoothest of operators.He even makes “On the Side” — which reunites Usher with early producer Jermaine Dupri (“Nice & Slow,” “U Got It Bad”) — the sweetest of side-chick songs.

(“Risk It All”) — who surely grew
