Usher is in search of himself and finds a new sound

The RNB superstar Usher Raymond is back with his 7th studio album in their luggage. His new work answers to the
Name "Looking 4 Myself" and I must say that the name really fits well on this album. Because with Empire of the Sun, Noah Shebib, Diplo and Swedish House Mafia, he puts on quite a fresh breeze behind the controls. But even old companions such as Will.i.am, Pharrell and Rico Love who contributed to the album.

I must say that I do not like the first song. The song is a (now) standard production by Will.i.am and is just like the second track "Scream" (the I like better) something for the dancefloor. Then continue with "Climax". The song is a real BANGER and quiet Electro-Beat together with the perfect vocal performance by Usher makes this song really listening experience. "I Care For You" sounds similar to the track before, and yet somehow different. After two quieter numbers, it will be with "Show Me" again slightly faster and is very fresh, therefore. "Lemme See" I find rather boring and the part of Rick Ross is not over quite well. The song "Twisted" with Pharrell for me is the absolute highlight of the album, and you manage to hear the not to sit still. While "Dive" is rather boring, knows how to convince "What Happened To U". "Looking 4 Myself" was produced by Empire Of The Sun and is a very interesting track, which somehow makes fun. "Numb" is another song for the dance floor at the Swedish House Mafia is involved. "Lessons For The Love" is a classic Usher Slow Jam, but not really impressed. "Sins of My Father" has a very cool beat and also one of better songs. Usher closes the album with "Euphoria" as he began it, with a track for the disco.
The additional tracks on the deluxe edition are more classic Usher Tracks that are known and liked by his old albums I therefore also quite good.

I have resigned myself to that Usher will make in the near future or perhaps never a complete RNB album. That's why I no longer criticize the great pop influence as with the last album. Still, I find the Usher to other artists (similar music making) stands out, as it here on this album manages that not every track sounds the same and has brought a great variety in this album. I think not every song is good, but overall I think that album but very well done.
