12/5/2023 0 Comments Climax usher album nameLongtime Urshur fans will love “Dive” and all its innuendo while old school R&B fans will be drawn to “Twisted” and its ’60s Motown sound.īut of course, Usher is required to pad the album with irritating techno pop. ![]() Example: Listen to “Lessons for the Lover” and you’ll immediately think it’s ripped off from Kelly Rowland’s “Motivation.” But once you get pulled into the song’s storyline, in which sex locks lovers into flawed relationships, similarities are forgotten and talent triumphs. That’s not a complaint – Usher draws you in with the familiarity and then adds his own stamp, bending your ear until you forget about the source material. “What Happened to U” is the lovechild of Beyonce’s “I Miss You” and one of Drake’s murky mixtape tracks. Excluding Rawsssse, “Lemme See” actually succeeds, thanks to Usher’s flawless falsetto. But what you will find is that Looking 4 Myself, Usher’s seventh set, is filled with diversity – most of it familiar.Ĭurrent single “Lemme See” is the standard radio-friendly R&B song: typical oversexed lyrics, a hip-hop beat that sounds like the stepchild of DJ Khaled’s “I’m On One” and the requisite cut-and-paste verse from Rick Ross (dude spends half the time talking about cars – did he even listen to the song?). Sadly, if you’re hoping for an album filled with Climaxes, you’ll be disappointed. So after Usher gets us all excited with “Climax,” what does he release next? “Scream,” yet another in the endless assembly line of techno pop clones. That’s a miracle in today’s marketplace, which features an endless assembly line of techno pop clones. Usher and producer Diplo really created a masterpiece, a track that sounds like nothing I’ve heard before. The wobbly synths, the calm falsetto that slowly rises in each verse, only to hit its zenith and crash back down – the entire song lives up to its name. It’s by far the best thing clogging up radio airwaves right now – maybe even the best track of Usher’s career. And as much as I’d love to hate on “Climax,” I can’t. I kid you not – the woman has to watch this video every day or somehow her life is unfulfilled. ![]() She looks like a baby bird being fed by mama bird. You haven’t lived until you’ve watched her mimic Usher’s flailing head and mouth-stretching notes. Wanna know the wifey’s favorite song right now? ![]() Looking 4 Myself (to be released June 12)
