Usher - Lemme See
Artist: Usher
Featuring: Rick Ross
Producer: Jim Jonsin
Album: Looking 4 Myself
Label: RCA
Usher seems to be enjoying playing with listener expectations in the lead-up to his seventh studio album; lead single Climax was a poignant breakup jam, whereas club-ready follow-up Scream actually involved, ya’know, climaxing. And the just-released Lemme See? Just as you’d expect, this sultry jam finds the R&B heavyweight narrating his annual visit to his optometrist. Nah, just kidding—like a good 70% of his other singles, the record depicts Terry Raymond IV out on the prowl, pondering what he’s going to do when he gets a certain female clubgoer into his bedroom. Over Jim Jonsin‘s sultry, slow-burning synth grooves, he soulfully feigns indecisiveness (“Hey girl, I’m debating if I should take you home…”) before announcing his conclusion with a sexy flourish: “I decided to take my shirt off / and show my chest.” Rick Ross showcases his inimitable brand of pillow talk on the back, notably spitting the inexplicable line, “Chanel hoodie on, looking like Trayvon Martin / George Zimmerman don’t want it.” Inadvisable references to current events aside, however, this catchy cut should leave pop-lovers even more amped for Usher’s Looking 4 Myself LP, out now via RCA.

Usher's falsetto sounding a little like MJ? Interesting. Catchy, but easily forgettable record. Usher is capable of more. Much much much more. Like... "Climax."

Usher sounds great as usual. I like the hypnotizing beat... And yes Z, I hear the MJ-style-voice sounds in there at times Good work!

I like it, Usher sounds at his best (in my opinion) when he incorporates a little bit of hip-hop into his songs. His ability to balance that is what I like best. While Climax is more R&B than this, I like this style from Usher on occasion. Good song, but a better rapper could've helped it skyrocket; Ross kept it from being a 5.

Way better than "Scream". "Climax" is still better though.
Ross is just so average and predictable now... I agree with the man above me; he kept it from being a 5. Jim Jonsin's trademark minimalistic beats are hypnotic. I like; it's been a while since I've heard from him ("Just a Dream" or "Motivation" was his last big single). |

I don't like Climax, I love Scream and this one has a great great production, too! I sometimes don't like the way Usher sings (he sounds a lil "girly") but his 2 latest songs I heard here are real bangers!

I hear the similarities to MJ in Usher's vocal delivery as well. I must say "Lemme See" has all the makings of a summer anthem. Mark my words, this WILL be one of the biggest records out this summer.

I agree with DJ Z...also I feel like Usher's been going through too much, to be singing about catchin hoes. We all know he's got maximum baby mama drama.. and i can feel him better when he's singing from his heart, rather then his imagination.

This should climb the charts quickly. A dope beat and nice vocals from Usher. Rick Ross sounded at home on this track too. It is quite formualic, but I'm rocking with this. Should give Usher an urban radio hit.

I disagree with those saying Ross hurt the song. His flow on this track kept me in the groove Usher built up. Personally I feel Usher could've went harder. 3 stars.

"Lemme See" with Rick Ross is definitely skirting around the edges of the pop genre. The track title is self-explanatory of the lyrical content - I'll show you mine, you show me yours.
The beat is sick something to be expected from an Usher track - his falsetto is effortlessly laid over the track. Now you know I love me some Rozay - but I am not sure if he really added a great deal to this track. Nonetheless his lyrical content was on point - hell he even worked in the Trayvon Martin case! “Chanel hoodie on, looking like Trayvon Martin / George Zimmerman don’t want it.” "Lemme See" didn't catch me straight up - however I predict it'll be a grower. |
