American singer and dancer Usher is set to release a new song titled “Ruin” with Nigerian Afrobeats singer Pheelz.

Usher, a Grammy Award-winning artiste, announced this via his X page on Thursday, where he also shared a snippet of the music video.

The song is set for release on February 2.

The 45-year-old American artiste also unveiled the official tracklist for his forthcoming album, ‘Coming Home,’ which includes a collaboration with self-proclaimed African Giant Burna Boy on track 1 of the album.
