Usher announces new album 'Hard II Love' on 'Kimmel'

Usher is back. And very busy.

The musician is starring in his biggest film role to date as Sugar Ray Leonard in Hands of Stone (out Friday). And in an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote the film, he announced that his first album in four years will be out on Sept. 16.

Hard II Love, available for pre-order now, is coming after what Usher said were some ups and downs following his 2012 album Looking 4 Myself.

He also revealed the cover art for the album, which features a crumbling bust of the musician. See the album cover and announcement in the video below.
