Usher knows how to be an artist. He waits years between albums so he can’t be pigeon holed to a sound, then hooks up with current producers and delivers the same old R’n'B lyrics. When I say the same old R’n'B lyrics, I mean its like Rappers bragging about all the things they possess, or metal heads shouting about death, pain and suffering. I might be generalising a bit, but for the past 20 years R’n'B lyrics haven’t really changed in the slightest, it’s how it will always be.
This new track from Usher is a decent follow up to the Diplo produced ‘climax‘, and gives a good indication his album ‘Looking for myself’ (set to drop June 12th) is going to be a power house of modern R’n'B. Joining Usher on the track is the Bowse, Rick Ross, but just isn’t needed. It would have been nicer to see a rapper with something to say. All the ‘i’m ballin’ like le bron’ and ‘G5′s, i’m talking fly’ lines are beyond played out. Verdict? nothing ground breaking.
