A year after ‘Climax,’ the collaborators unveil another Valentine’s Day single
A year after releasing “Climax,” Usher and Diplo have teamed up again.
The Grammy-nominated producer offers a pinging, bass-heavy bed for Usher’s seductive vocals, as he turns to falsetto to convince a stranded woman at a club to come home with him: “Go missin’/baby, ain’t nobody gotta know.” Less anthemic than “Climax,” the song recalls the synth-fueled, slow-burning R&B of newcomers such as the Weeknd.
“You loved what I gave you last Valentine’s #Climax So here is ‘Special delivery from the cloud’Happy Valentine’s Day!,” Usher wrote on Twitter on Thursday.
“Climax” was a major hit on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, peaking at No. 1 and leading Usher’s latest album, “Looking 4 Myself,” to a chart-topping debut on the Billboard 200 last June.

The drama between Usher and his ex-wife Tameka Raymond continues. Usher who recently won primary custody of his two sons has ordered Tameka Foster Raymond to move out of his Atlanta home. The singer owns the mansion in Georgia that Tameka has been living in and wants her to get to packing STAT!
Here’s what went down according to TMZ:
Sources close to the couple tell TMZ, Usher’s lawyer sent Tameka Raymond a letter informing her the 12,000 sq. ft. Georgia home — which Usher owns — is going on the market and she needs to find new digs.
Usher has allowed Tameka to live in the home for the last few years — but per their 2009 divorce agreement, Usher has the right to sell the pad at any time as long as he gives 60 days notice.
According to sources, Tameka didn’t take the news well, seeing as she has no income of her own and has been financially dependent on Usher since the divorce.
On the flip side, we’re told Usher feels he’s given Tameka plenty of time to get her act together … and enough is enough.
I wish I knew the truth about this relationship from beginning to end, so I can figure out who the real bad guy is. I find myself going back and forth between these two and I’m over it.

According to various media reports, Tameka Foster Raymond and ex-husband Ryan Glover, president of Bounce TV, have decided to take their 11-year-old son Kile Gloveroff of life support.
Kile was also the step-son of R&B recording artist Usher.
As previously reported by NewsOne, Kile was declared brain dead by doctors on July 8 following a jet-ski accident on Atlanta’s Lake Lanier.
Atlanta radio personalities DJ Greg Street and Frank Ski tweeted their condolences:
See home video of Kile here:
Tameka expresses the bond she shares with all of her sons on Twitter frequently, Kile in particular, whom she calls her “Male Mini-Me”:
Family friend Jeffrey Hubbard, 38, was identified as the man who ran over Kile and a 15-year-old girl on his personal watercraft. An investigation by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources ruled out alcohol as a deciding factor in the accident and no charges have been filed to date.
At the time that Kile was declared brain-dead, his family still refused to give up hope and asked for prayers via an official statement to CNN:
“We know God’s in control, and are leaning on our faith in Him and His word at this most difficult time,” Kile’s family said in a statement to CNN Tuesday. “We firmly believe in the power of prayer and ask that you all continue to pray and lift Kile up, as it’s the best way we can all support him now.”
Brothers Jake Prince, 9, and Griffin Prince , 13, were killed two weeks prior to Kile’s accident after Paul J. Bennett, 44, slammed into their boat. Jake died at the scene; Griffin was thrown from the boat and his body was found 10 days later. Bennett was arrested for boating under the influence, reports CBS Atlanta.
There has been no official statement from Kile’s family. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the Glover and Raymond families during this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Sweet Prince.
