Earlier this year,
Usher linked with
Diplo to make
"Climax," a pretty amazing heartbroken
R&B track with masterful
Dance-music flourishes and an excellently subtle string arrangement from
Indie-Classical wunderkind,
Nico Muhly. It's an early contender for
Single of The Year (2012) and a fine reminder that, no matter what you may think of
Usher and/or
Diplo, they are both extremely good @ driving their respective lanes. The new
"Climax" video is a bit of fairly typical
R&B-video melodrama, all about
Usher contemplating the different tragic paths he and his ladyfriend could take, but it's a nice excuse to enjoy the song again. Watch it below...
Usher hasn't announced a new album yet or anything, but the
"Climax" single is @
iTunes now.
