NEW MUSIC: Usher Ft. A$AP Rocky – ‘Hot Thing’

Usher releases “Hot Thing” from his forthcoming album featuring Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky“Hot Thing” is one of of four bonus tracks from the deluxe edition of his upcoming seventh studio album, ‘Looking 4 Myself’. The album will be released on RCA Records, on June 8, 2012. Take a listen to The Neptunes produced “Hot Thing” track below.

I see why the singer decided to release this track to the web, because it offers nothing. Based on hearing the entire album, this is by far one of the worst songs from the album.  How do you feel about this track?

New Music: Usher – ‘Euphoria’ & ‘Twisted’ (LEAKS)

A week ahead of the official release, Usher  new album ‘Looking 4 Myself’ has leaked to its entirety. Because I would never post the entire album of my fave (i.e Rihanna), I declined to post Usher or any other artist as well. However I’m going to post the two most anticipated singles from the album. The two singles are  ‘Euphoria’ and ‘Twisted’, featuring Pharrell Williams.

Music Preview: Usher Ft. Pharrell – ‘Twisted’

Usher is giving a hint of old school meets new school with the snippet of his new song “Twisted“. The track which  features Pharell and produced by ‘The Neptunes‘, is taken from Usher’s upcoming seventh studio album, ‘Looking 4 Myself’, due June 12th. The singer sat down for an exclusive “MTV First” interview yesterday and talk a little about ‘Twist’.

” ‘Twisted’ is more of a nostalgic record, so when you think about the classic R&B record, we managed a way to modernize it, even though that’s very relevant,” the singer said. (MTV)

 Preview the track below:

The track definitely gives me a current version of something from the Marvin Gaye era and I love it. Based on what I’ve heard in this snippet I would say that I rather this track over the current euro-pop ‘Scream’ single. How do you feel about the snippet?
