It’s back to work for Usher Raymond IV,? who color coordinated with the upholstery as he posed seductively in his brand new work chair.
As you know, NBC’s ‘The Voice’ will usher in 2013 with two fresh new judges, Usher and Shakira.
The network released the first promotional pictures yesterday (January 3, 2013) of the duo sitting in the iconic red leather chairs as they join the popular singing competition show for it’s upcoming fourth season.

The new promo video for Season 4 of NBC’s hit singing competition show, shows Shakira and Usher arguing over what to listen to on the radio.
They eventually settle on “Forever’s Gonna Start Tonight” and belt out the tune to the dismay of other drivers on the road.
VIDEO: Shakira & Usher “The Pickup”
For the record, “The Voice” just wrapped up its third season, but has already been renewed for a fourth and fifth. NBC’s Robert Greenblatt promised in September that the show is dedicated to keeping fans entertained.
“This pickup will assure the many dedicated ‘Voice’ fans that this innovative show will continue to bring some of the most talented new voices to the world?s attention through all of next year.
With the addition of Usher and Shakira as rotating coaches to join Christina, Cee Lo, Adam and Blake in the next cycle, we know that this incredibly addictive program will remain even more relevant as we move forward through this exciting season. My hat is off to John de Mol, Mark Burnett, and everyone who produces this classy and highly entertaining show for us.
