Judging by the songs released so far, Usher's upcoming Looking for Myself seems to be taking its title quite literally as the leaked tracks are all over the place. After the smooth falsetto groove of "Climax," he countered with EDM abomination "Scream." Now it seems like he's ready for a trip to Magic City with his latest leak "Lemme See." Opening with a beat at first reminiscent of Kelly Rowland's "Motivation," Usher waxes poetic on after date etiquette, including the removal of clothes, the exposing of body parts, the sipping of merlot and, of course, the various "intermissions" and "positions" that come next. The song's stripper pole vibe is well cemented before Rick Ross's husky voice is featured, but it provides a dirty enough roughness to an already naughty track. His rap is also where the song goes a bit awry, however, as Officer Ricky utters the most WTF?-inducing reference to the Trayvon Martin case I've heard in recent months (I'll let you guys find that little easter egg for yourselves). As far as Usher songs go, this one isn't horrible. It does make one wonder what vibe Looking for Myself is going for, though. Will it be a return to Confessions era glory? A rehash of Raymond vs. Raymond? Or maybe it's just Usher tossing around song ideas until one sticks. Whatever it is, it will be interesting to follow.
