Want to Get in Touch with Usher’s Sexy Side? Introducing the Single, “Climax”
Posted by Brittany Barth on 10/15 at 04:58 PM
If you haven’t heard Usher’s “lead single” from his album Looking 4 Myself, do yourself a favor and immediately skip to the third track. Only then will you experience the sexiest side of Usher Raymond you have ever seen.
The single, entitled “Climax,” possess everything you could want in a love song. It captures every emotion, every aspect that humans face in intimate relationships with one another, both good and bad. The listener can sense the desperation in Usher’s voice, the hopelessness he feels, the frustration that comes with realizing his relationship with his lover will never work. He addresses the fear of commitment that they both share but the desire that they feel for one another. The listener can sense his torment and the heartbreak. All of these aspects of love and of relationships are evident in this song.
The sound is like nothing I have ever heard in an Usher single, but it is a sound I cannot get enough of. It is enticing and passionate and works in perfect unison with the context of the lyrics. There is not one minute of the song you won’t enjoy (especially when you reach 2:50, which is guaranteed to leave you swoonin’).
I’ll leave you with a word of caution: once you experience this song, you will become addicted to it, just like I did.
