Looking for Myself, the seventh studio album from the soul juggernaut, will street June 12. The announcement comes two years to the day after the release of his chart-topping Raymond v. Raymond.

As the lead single “Climax” climbs the R&B and pop charts, Usher is putting the final studio touches on the RCA album. Looking for Myself – which features collaborators including Salaam Remi, Diplo, Rico Love, Jim Jonsin and Max Martin -- will be available in standard and deluxe editions.

The new record is likely to continue the seven-time Grammy winner’s hit streak. His past three albums have debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and gone platinum. His career high-water mark remains 2004’s Confessions, which topped the chart for nine weeks and has sold more than 9 million copies in the U.S., making it the second-biggest-selling album of the decade behind ’N Sync’s No Strings Attached.

Confessions also spawned four No. 1 singles. Usher’s nine chart-topping pop hits ties him for the 10th-most by any act in the history of Billboard’s Hot 100.
