Record producer Pheelz has discussed his experience working with Usher on the new Coming Home album, which is currently gaining traction online.
Describing the award-winning musician as a great student, he said the collaboration was both a surprise and a great learning opportunity. Although he has followed Usher’s music since childhood, he could not have imagined working with the music legend on a new compilation.
“I would listen to Usher almost everyday, growing up…Literally dive into his albums and just learn from him and to be able to write and produce…
“It was surprising for me…I am like I’m just a kid from Lagos why am I telling you what to do? It showed me how far the music has gone, and how far dreams can go as well,” Pheelz said in an interview with Apple Music.
The Finesse hitmaker is one of the guest artists on Usher’s newly released 20-track album. Both artistes collaborated on the song Ruin and its accompanying video, which was released in early January.
