We've heard a few singles from Usher this pat year, but now it's finally time to look forward to a full project from the R&B legend.

Usher visited Jimmy Kimmel Live! to officially let the world know that his new album, Hard II Love will be available on September 16.

This will be his eighth studio album and will be coming after what he told Kimmel were "some ups and downs." His last release was 2012's Looking 4 Myself .

The singer also revealed the album artwork: an image of his bust created by Daniel Arsham.

In January, Arsham posted a video of the two teasing a new album Flawed. While the title may have changed, recently released tracks like "No Limit" might still make the tracklist.

Beyond new music, Usher is currently on theater screens across the nation in the film Hands of Stone, playing legendary boxer Sugar Ray Leonard.
