‘Moving Mountains’ maestro Usher is looking to make moves back to the top of charts with his latest offering ‘Climax’. Kicking off the singer’s yet-titled seventh album, seems the falsetto filled offering is seeing Mr. Raymond marry the best of both his (musical) worlds – an R&B/electropop fusion.
But, will ‘Climax’ be what Ush needs to reach the top? Check out the Sam Pilling-directed video below and tell us:

Didn’t like the video, thought it wasn’t powerful enough, but the song is really good.

@ashginio. are you serious. you want talent to go ahead and support mediocre. You want usher to give up his career over beiber? That is the biggest joke of the week. That must be coming from an empty headed ass. lord save their minds

I agree with @yoosondaloose. I love the song, but the video just didn’t do it for me. It seemed as though it was kinda all over the place. They replayed him sitting in the car thinking so many times throughout the video that it was just…UGH! Maybe he should’ve told the story from to end.

GOOD song , not a perfect material for a lead single.
in 2012 , your lead single has to be in the “dance” Genre. something like ” OMG” and ” without you” with DG !! then you can released Flops-due-to-lack-of-support-from-R&B-fans Singles !!!!!

How old are some of you around here? 10?
Usher is the guy who released the monster hit “Yeah!” in 2004. He has been in the biz for like 20 years. He knows anything about debuting a lead single. Who you finna school? #Puh-lease.
‘Climax’ is his choice, let it be.

@ Miska I think alot of the site members know nothing about these icons. Ushers career is older than alot of these critiques on there. All they know is techno pop.

This song has no imperfections. This is perfect for Usher’s continued material. This song is one of my favorites on the playlist right now.

The video was good because unlike other artist who just want to dance there brains out cough cough Chris brown…..usher decided to tell a story ..we all know usher can dance and he will most likely drop one more single before his new album comes out which I guarantee will be a dance track..that’s the problem will this new generation not enough people appreciate story telling in videos any more..great song and video usher do your thing!

I don’t appreciate the “electro” elements, but I’m glad it’s not dance. Usher has me worrying about the direction of his music of late. He was the last one I thought who would sell out to pop, but at least this time he’s keeping it a little more real. Still not all the way real, since it features that silly “electro” crap, but at least it’s not another wack ass “Without You” or “DJ Got Us Falling In Love.”

Agreed! I kept waiting for something to ‘happen’ and it never really did. I mean the song itself is very smooth and laid back so I wasn’t expecint something spectacular but it did leave me wanting more. Oh well.
The song still slays and I’m sure it will reach No 1 soon. Well at least on the r&b charts. I’m excited to hear what else he has in store for this era.

I guess it’s R&B enough, but the electro elements aren’t cool for a black male singer. Usher’s audience isn’t a bunch of silly gay white boys and their fat fag hags; you know the kind that are into Gaga and Rihanna. Grown ass black folks don’t wanna hear that corny electro-dance dance bullshit. But at least it’s slightly reminiscent to ol’ school Usher.
