Usher Pulls Out All The Stops At ‘Looking For Myself’ Listening Event
To say Usher pulled out all the stops at his most recent listening event for Looking For Myself would be an understatement. Usher teamed up with the cast of Fuerza Bruta for an interactive album premiere. “A foggy haze permeated the cavernous performance space at New York City’s Daryl Roth Theater, where the 33-year-old theatrically sequenced the entirety of the project to strobling lights and choreographed moves,” says Rolling Stone. Forbes said, “…last night swaggered Usher, dressed in a white suit, connected to a zip cord connected to a harness he wore under the suit. While his songs played…He ran through “walls,” smashed through paper and confetti, and finally, of course, flew through the air with the greatest of ease.”

Draw the curtains, light a candle and take a listen.” Perez Hilton exclaims “LOVE IT!! This song is a trance-y, smooth HIT!! USA Today describes “Climax” as “Usher’s pulsing new single showcasing his silky-strong tenor” and Entertainment Weekly highlights Usher’s “steaming-hot falsetto.
