Album Notes & Community Reviews

Described by the artist as 'revolutionary pop', Usher's seventh studio album sees the R&B legend heavily integrating global EDM and alternative production into his sound. The record features the Grammy-winning, Diplo-produced centerpiece 'Climax', successfully bridging the gap between his traditional smooth vocal stylings and festival-ready electronic trends.
