Usher is gearing up for the release of Raymond v. Raymond next month, but before the crooner's album drops, he'll be front and center during NBA All-Star Weekend in Atlanta.

The singer is set to debut a special video for his track "More" on February 14. The song is already featured in NBA promos, but Usher will put on a full performance of the number during the festivities. In his typical showman fashion, he said the promotional clip doesn't compare to what he's going to do in person.

"The commercial is only a small indication of what you're gonna get onstage," he told MTV News.

Atlanta resident Usher is expected to welcome visitors, who will be in town for the game at Philips Arena.

In the meantime, Usher will continue to promote his forthcoming album. He recently released a video for the first single, "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)," directed by Chris Robinson. The clip premiered on MTV.com.

Frequent Usher collaborator Bryan-Michael Cox spoke with MTV News about Raymond v. Raymond and said fans are going to get an emotionally vulnerable Usher.

"I think Usher is in a place where he really wants to express what's going on in his life, as any artist would," Cox said, referring to Usher's divorce from Tameka Foster-Raymond. "All the greats did it. Marvin Gaye did Here, My Dear. All the greats express where they are personally. [Usher's] last album was that too. I think [the new album] is where we are going to see Usher as an artist. I'm very curious to hear what the rest of the album is going to sound like. Our records are definitely in that lane of touching on what's going on in his life, so we are going to see what's going to happen. I'm very excited about the album. I think he has a lot to say."
