Usher Celebrates ‘Confessions’ 20th Anniversary/ Performs Entire Album At Essence Festival 2024 [Video/Full Show]

If there was ever any doubt left, Usher proved once again over the weekend why he is the undisputed King of R&B!

The superstar took to the stage as the headliner for Essence Festival 2024 aka 30th Essence Festival of Culture live from the Superdome in New Orleans on Saturday night (June 6).

While the festival was celebrating it’s 30th anniversary, the icon is also celebrating a milestone as his diamond-certified album ‘Confessions‘ hit it’s 20th anniversary this year (March 19).

In honor of that, the R&B giant performed the full album in it’s entirety, and a few extra songs from his new album ‘Coming Home.’
