It's been a home run of a week for R&B titan Usher, who not only rocked the Super Bowl LVIII with a historic halftime show, but also tied the knot and snagged Atlanta's Phoenix Award, the city's top accolade. Celebrations kicked into high gear Wednesday when Usher, the multi-Grammy winner, was honored by his adopted hometown following his high-octane performance in Las Vegas, reported WSB-TV.

After the afterparty vibes cooled down, the "Yeah!" singer was quickly to be recognized by Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, who praised Usher for his contributions to the city and handed him the Phoenix Award - an honor designed to applaud remarkable contributions to Atlanta. "I’m hoping the rest of the world is feeling the love that has come from this city," Usher said in a ceremony beamed across town, as reported by WSB-TV.

The accolades didn't end there. Usher's impressive week was further highlighted by a celebration rally held at Clark Atlanta University to toast both his new album "Coming Home" and the 25th anniversary of the Usher's New Look Foundation (UNL), according to FOX 5 Atlanta. Students, alumni, and music fans converged at the Cornelius L. Henderson Student Center, bursting into cheers as the local hero made his entrance.

The party atmosphere was heightened with news of Amazon Music planning to donate a hefty $25,000 to the UNL foundation, which aims to mentor young talent into the leaders of tomorrow. "This is our culture," Usher told FOX 5 Atlanta, highlighting his Atlanta connection. "This is what I love and what I feel in many ways is underserved in terms of where it comes from."

Usher's ninth studio album, "Coming Home," signifies a sentimental journey back to his roots and cements his enduring legacy in the music world. His first effort as an independent artist, the album reconnects him with major names including L.A. Reid and producers like Jermaine Dupri, fueling anticipation and respect within industry circles for the R&B superstar's commitment to his craft.
