Usher will release his forthcoming eighth studio album in September. The "No Limit" hitmaker made the announcement on Facebook Live on Thursday, August 25, confirming his new record would go under the name "Hard II Love".

"Hard II Love" is now available to pre-order on iTunes ahead of its September 16 release. A cover art for the album shows a head statue of Usher. The tracklist includes "No Limit" featuring Young Thug, "Missin U", "Crash" and "Champions" from his latest film "Hands of Stone".

During the Cannes Lions Festival back in June, Usher offered details regarding his forthcoming album, which was originally titled "Flawed". He explained, "I find the inspiration every time I find a word: What is 'flawed?' It's something that is not perfect. It's a future relic of some sorts, to grow and blossom and gain texture."

"But it is those things, those tumultuous occurrences and things that happen in your life that define what it is, and in our country and us as people. All of these things are standards, and I became the inspiration. Now I can't tell you yet at the end what it's gonna be, but right now it's 'Flawed'," he continued.

"Hard II Love" is a follow-up to Usher's 2012 album "Looking 4 Myself".
