SHAKE THE DICE, STEAL THE RICE!

Euphoria - Usher

So after I had finished DL’ing the entire leaked album last night (spanks Cho!  ^_^), I quickly scanned the tracklisting.  Out of the 18, my eyes focused in on this one.  I mean, with a song title like that, you better be throwing out some next-level shiz to match, right?

I know I have given Ursh some flack for going the dance-pop route recently with his music, but I have to say he’s done this route right on Looking 4 Myself - with a strong nod to the Swedish House Mafia for the sparkly production.  Euphoria is one part ~*GEIGH*~ club glitter and one part atmospheric electro-soul, with a dash of booty-bumpin’ bass thrown in for good measure.  It’s fresh, crisp, addictive and anthemic all at the same time…and is only one treasure out of many found on the extensive LP, which I found to be just a very solid, well-rounded mainstream piece of work that should cater to his fans all across the board.

Well done, Mr. Raymond.  Well. Done.

Climax - Usher

Oh, hey there Confessions-era Usher.  So good to see you again.

And while you’re here, can you go ahead and leave all that generic dance-pop mess to Bieber?  Kthnxbai.
