Usher // Scream

It wasn’t long ago that we had the anti-climax that was Climax. But now Usher is back with the second single to be lifted from his forthcoming album Looking 4 Myself.

This is probably the sound that most people are probably more familiar with. Opening with an electronic sound that reminds us of 90s Megadrive games, this soon becomes more a background thing when the drum line kicks in along with the vocals. With some questionable lyrics though, we do wonder if you’ll be hearing this often on many radio stations.

It’s maybe unfair to compare this and Climax (he has after all done a beautiful ballad with Romeo Santos), but this track is likely to get people dancing in the clubs.

Usher // Climax

We’re struggling to remember the last time Usher released a song as the only one we can spring to right away is D.J Got Us Fallin’ In Love. However, we now have a new single called Climax to listen to.

To be honest, we keep waiting for this song to go somewhere. There’s moments that you expect it to burst into a full blown dance number, but it never comes. The high pitched vocals in the chorus starts to annoy after the second time of hearing them. It feels a little off and not something that you’d probably expect to hear from the artist.

We got a feeling that this is just going to be an anti-climax and not go anywhere.
