He says that slow-jams such as вЂњClimaxвЂќ are more rewarding, however, вЂњas they pull the spotlight away from the albumвЂ™s all-star producers and place it back on UsherвЂ™s voice.вЂќ Leahey adds that itвЂ™s nice to hear Usher without auto-tune. Leahey comments that Usher uses familiar methods in tracks such as вЂњScream,вЂќ likening it to the style of вЂњOMGвЂќ and вЂњDJ Got Us FallinвЂ™ in Love.вЂќ The Washington TimesвЂ™ critic Andrew Leahey gives the album three saying, вЂњ funky and futuristic, with adventurous pop songs that set their sights on the dance floor one minute and the bedroom the next.вЂќ STORY: Usher to Use Digital Dancers for Live-Streamed Concert Rolling StoneвЂ™s Jody Rosen offers the album 4ВЅ out of 5 stars saying, вЂњThe only thing that rings false on UsherвЂs seventh LP is the title: If thereвЂ™s anyone in music who doesnвЂ™t have an identity crisis, itвЂ™s Usher Raymond the theme here, such as it is, is his own versatility. вЂњAs such, many of the songs here could just as easily be plugged into an album by any artist who traffics in making the kind of pulsating Euro-disco that conjures images of sweaty, beachside Ibizan nightclubs where white curtains billow around VIP sections drowning in bottle service - like, say, Britney Spears or Jennifer Lopez.вЂќ No wonder the urban pop superstar is looking for himself.вЂќ STORY: E3 2012: Usher Provides Choreography For вЂDance Central 3вЂ™ДЄ not-so-impressed Sarah Rodman of The Boston Globe says, вЂњOne track on UsherвЂ™s latest album, out Tuesday, is credited to nine songwriters. вЂњThe album gets stranger from there, though, and 13 songs and an hour later Usher has made a convincing case for his revolution, even if it never fully comes to pass.вЂќ The album even features вЂњthe sticky doo-wop melody ripped from Billy JoelвЂ™s вЂUptown Girl.вЂ™вЂќ Randall Roberts of Los Angeles Timesawards the album 3 stars saying, вЂњRevolutionary? Not so much, but itвЂ™s weirder than anything Lady GagaвЂ™s done.вЂќ The album, Roberts says, includes key music that draws on a word of styles. Usher also has a serious tone in the album, with songs such as вЂњSins of the FatherвЂќ and вЂњLessons for the Lover.вЂќ Jones also mentions that while thereвЂ™s plenty of explicit sex mentioned throughout the album (вЂњLemme SeeвЂќ), listeners will be surprised by вЂњClimaxвЂќ delivering something other than what the title suggests. Jones says, вЂњwhere he once filled the dance floor with the crunk-fueled вЂYeah,вЂ™ he achieves the same effect with synth-driven вЂScreamвЂ™ and energetic вЂEuphoria.вЂ™вЂќ USA Today critic Steve Jones gives the album 3ВЅ out of four stars saying UsherвЂs brand of R&B relies more on electronic music sensibilities than hip-hop.

The album, Aswad says, has the warm, organic feel of R&B and deep pop hooks, but also has the вЂњpulsating low-end and shimmering keyboard flourishes of EDM.вЂќ Aswad says, вЂњwhile thereвЂ™s a prominent EDM sound on many of the tracks (folk, not so much), the sound has fused seamlessly with R&B, making Looking 4 Myself, at its best, a truly next-level soul album.вЂќ The collection has received mixed reviews, and has recently been made into a Laughable Lyric list from The Huffington Post.Д«illboardвЂ™s Jem Aswad states that in the interviews surrounding the release of Looking, Usher discussed the wide variety of music that influenced the album-from electronic dance music to Mumford & Sons. The 14-track album (18 on the deluxe edition) features artists such as Rick Ross, Pharrell, Luke Steele and A$AP Rocky. Raymond, has already resulted in three singles with вЂњClimax,вЂќ вЂњScream,вЂќ and вЂњLemme See.вЂќ The 33-year-old Tennessee nativeвЂ™s seventh album, and latest since 2010вЂ™s Raymond vs. Usher released his latest album, Looking 4 Myself, on June 12.
