My Way" along with other select venues and dates.
Speaking on Glu and working with
Usher again, IZ says "At a time in R&B music where women aren't being indulged from a grown and sexy aspect, Glu fulfills that missing piece…sexy, lustful, nasty…and unapologetic. The song is musically complex but cleverly simple and there is no one better to perform this song than Usher."
