Listen to Usher cover Daniel Caesar and H.E.R.’s ‘Best Part’ on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge
Usher performed a cover of Daniel Caesar and H.E.R.’s ‘Best Part’ on the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge this week – watch the footage below.
The R&B star performed his single ‘Good Good’ featuring Summer Walker and 21 Savage yesterday (October 23) with a live band, before he performed his cover of the 2017 track alongside singers Serena Prince and Teni Tinks, who he described as the “finest voices” of the UK.
During the performance, Usher walked around the studio and uttered ad libs alongside the vocalists like “don’t play like this” and “there’s enough of me to go around.”

During his appearance in the Live Lounge, the artist remained tight-lipped about what songs might feature during his Super Bowl Half Time performance next year.
The singer will perform at the Super Bowl LVIII at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on February 11, 2024.
“It’s an honour of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list,” Usher said in a statement upon the announcement (via Billboard). “I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before. Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I’ll see you real soon.”

Shortly after the news was revealed, Usher announced his new album ‘Coming Home’, which is set to land the same day he will headline the Super Bowl.
The record will mark the ‘Yeah!’ singer’s first album since 2016’s ‘Hard II Love’, and will include his 2023 single ‘Good Good’.
In other news from the R&B sensation, Usher surprised fans at a recent show in Paris by bringing out rapper Offset on stage to perform Migos‘ track ‘Bad And Boujee’.
During his residency at La Seine Musicale, Doja Cat was among attendees to be serenaded by the crooner.
Usher was also recently seen singing to Keke Palmer, who went on to star in the artist’s new music video for the song ‘Boyfriend’ after she was criticised by her then-boyfriend for her outfit choice to Usher’s show.
