The 'Yeah' hitmaker had been expected to unveil Ur, his eighth studio disc, by the year's end to accompany his upcoming tour, reported Contactmusic.
"The album isn't scheduled anymore. I've basically taken it back. I'm taking my time with it. At the end of the day, all of this is just about having fun. You get in the studio (and) go with how you feel," he said.
Usher, 35, has already recorded tracks with guests including Nicki Minaj, Pharrell Williams, Ed Sheeran, Skrillex, Diplo and Drake, but there's one additional artist he has also been spending time with in the studio - Chris Brown.
