You ready for a #FlashbackFriday memory? Well, Usher’s album, Confessions, turned 13 years old yesterday (March 23rd), and in honor of it, BJ The Chicago Kid has released an EP to pay tribute to Usher and the album.

The mini-EP blends lyrics and melodies with a new sound, as BJ delivers covers of “Confessions,” “Superstar,” “Can U Handle It?” and “Simple Things.”

“There’s a wide variety of different music and I’m speaking to different generations through the music,” BJ says. “I’m giving you little bit of what you were expecting but also giving you a little bit of what I feel you need. In terms of R&B, I feel like this is a great contribution to the art form of what rhythm & blues is all about. It’s about true instrumentation. It’s about stepping away from the synthesized sound, and being authentic.”
