USHER'S RAYMOND VS RAYMOND PUSHED BACK!

Bad news for R&B fans expecting to stock their stockings with Usher's new album just in time for the holidays. According to his label, Usher's "Raymond Vs. Raymond" has been shifted to an undetermined release date.

Previously due for release mid-December, "Raymond Vs. Raymond" is led by Usher's Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Songs top ten charting single "Papers".

Issuing a statement earlier this week, a representative for the Grammy Award winner told Reuters "This is a solid album that we believe in. We want to give it a proper launch."

"Raymond Vs. Raymond" follows Usher's 2008 effort "Here I Stand," which spawned the hit singles "Love In This Club" and "Trading Places".
