Usher has released his seventh album, Looking 4 Myself. The pop, dance, hip-hop, electro fusion album features production from Diplo, Pharrell, Salaam Remi, Rico Love, Max Martin and more.
Thus far, reviews have been mostly good with The Guardian calling it alternately "bloated and self-conscious" and "a feast of detailed, brilliantly gleaming R&B."
Meanwhile, USA Today opines that Ush has "chosen to keep growing and moving ahead."
Billboard offered its review of the album, saying:
"Looking 4 Myself, at its best, a truly next-level soul album. One that has the warm, organic feel of R&B and deep pop hooks, but also the pulsating low-end and shimmering keyboard flourishes of EDM [electronic dance music]."
The lead single, "Climax," after 16 weeks on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, is currently at number one. "Lemme See" is at number 13.
