Usher Kicks Off TODAY’s “Summer Concert Series”
The Today Show kicked off their Summer Concert Series in style as Usher took the stage at the plaza and performed his hit single “OMG” as well as his latest number one “Climax.” This comes just in time for his Looking 4 Myself album run, which is due June 12.
Check out his second performance and a short interview after the jump.
Usher Speaks On A$AP Rocky Collaboration
From out of left field, Usher revealed to MTV that his new album Looking 4 Myself will feature label mate A$AP Rocky on a track called “Hot Thing” produced by The Neptunes own Pharrell. In his sit down with Sway, he explains how the record came about and why it was one of most memorable collaborations to date.
He also spoke on his upcoming single “Twisted” (dropping June 12) and explains how it’s a nostalgic R&B record, which sounds like something Cee-Lo Green or Bruno Mars would pull off, but yet still modernized it and made it his own.
You can check out the rest of the interview after the jump.

Rozay links up with Usher once again after being featured on his new single “Lemme See” now Usher repays him as he jumps on the Boss’ new single “Touch ‘N You.” This will be doing a lot of damaging on the radio so we know where exactly Ross is heading with this one but we’re also waiting on that big street anthem from the Boss to soon drop as well.
The new album God Forgives, I Don’t is set to drop on July 30th.

Usher – Looking 4 Myself (Artwork x Tracklist)
Usher’s album is gearing up to sound like a monster, right? Today the R&B king revealed the artwork to his latest opus, as well as the tracklist to his forthcoming album due out in stores everywhere and digitally on June 12.
Check the jump to find out who is featured on Ursh’s new one.
Usher – Lemme See (feat. Rick Ross)
Producer: Jim Jonsin
Album: Lookin For Myself
Label: RCA Records
iTunes:
The single we’ve been waiting for has arrived bright and early on a Monday morning. Even though Usher gave us the dance heavy “Scream,” we can call this Rick Ross featured track the street single from his upcoming album.
The beat kind of starts out like Kelly Rowland’s “Motivation,” but it only gets better from there. Usher’s album might really be a problem if he keeps it with these solid drops.

OS REWIND: Usher – Climax (Diplo & Flosstradamus Remix)
Usher – Scream
Producer: Max Martin
Album: Looking For Myself
Label: RCA Records
iTunes:
Before we get Usher’s new single with Rick Ross, he releases the dance oriented “Scream,” which picks up where “DJ Got Us Falling In Love” except there’s no Pitbull this go around. His new album Looking For Myself is due out June 12, so you can count on this track to rise up the Pop charts for the Summer. Sounds like another smash!
We wouldn’t be surprised if there was a remix of this already in the stash.

Usher – Climax (Diplo & Flosstradamus Remix)
Remixes are hit and misses sometimes. Especially R&B ones. Considering Diplo took us left field (in terms of his style) with “Climax” already, it’s dope he took another stab at the track alongside Flosstradamus. Only switching up the production slightly.
The product is the extra trill, 808 trap version of Usher’s single. While the original was seductive & personal, they added a bit more Gucci Mane to it for the remix. It sounds like something you’d hear while getting trashed in Vegas, Hollywood or Miami clubs.
Stay tuned for Usher’s single with Rick Ross to drop very soon.

Akon – The Koncrete Mixtape [Mixtape]
While we still await a new Akon album, he has teamed up with DJ Noodles for this The Koncrete Mixtape project. A lot of the track were previously released as our guess is he’s saving all the newer material for the new album. Features include French Montana, 2 Chainz, Three 6 Mafia, Usher and more. Track listing and download link after the jump!
Usher Says “Climax” Is Not About Sex
For those of you who thought Usher’s new single was about sex, you got it all wrong.
While out in Atlanta, Usher talked to Ryan Cameron about the concept of the Diplo-produced record, telling him it’s about a relationship and how it’s reached its peak. He also says it’s a double entendre, but it’s not specifically about sex.
His album sounds like it might be a complete monster, though.

The Weekend Playlist (4)
There were way more than enough tracks to get you through this week, and probably into March with all the songs released. Everything from Usher’s new one, to Kendrick Lamar’s banger (with Gunplay? Yeah, Gunplay). Even on the EP’s side we had a couple dope drops. You have a lot of catching up to do if you were off the map this past week.
Check out our picks below.
Usher – Climax
Producer: Ariel Rechtshaid, Redd Stylez & Diplo
Album: Looking For Myself
Label: RCA Records
iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/climax-single/id504573387
The shortys will definitely be pleased with this one. Although the combination of Usher and Diplo might seem like it would produce a club banger, they took it a completely different route and dropped something for the bedroom. It really takes us to something that we could have heard on Confessions. This is the first single from Usher’s upcoming as-yet-untitled seventh studio album.
Happy Valentine’s day, from Usher. This is CRACK!
