"This one is more about lifestyle," says R 'n' B singer Usher when talking about his upcoming "very eclectic, very open" studio album, which is tentatively titled "Monster". "It's about the dance, about the sexiness of it. It's about the passion. It's about what people really missed," he tells Hollyscoop.

Lots of Usher's singles are inspired by his personal life and relationships. In his sixth studio album, which is scheduled to be released in October, there is a song entitled "Filing Papers," which reportedly is about his experience when facing separation from wife Tameka Foster.

"Every album is really a process I go through because I feel like in terms of classic R&B music and pop music across the board, you gotta understand what people have always loved," the 30-year-old hitmaker tells Hollyscoop how he creates tunes in his albums. "I kind of grabbed on to a few of my personal stories and put it in my music grabbed on to some of the emotion of the past, you know what a classic R&B Usher pop record is."

Usher and Tameka Foster got married on August 3, 2007. They have two sons, Usher Raymond V and Naviyd Ely Raymond. On June 12 this year, he filed for divorce at Superior Court in Fulton County, Georgia, citing troubles in their marriage as the reason for the split.
