Usher - "Good Kisser"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lQtoRFaLsA
Well, here’s an unforeseen development: Usher just earlier this month dropped one of the hottest songs of his career. Immediately distinguishing “Good Kisser” as such a killer track is its beat – underlying the verses is a simple yet funky bass and drum kit groove. Frankly, it’s a pretty organic-sounding instrumental for a piece of radio-pop. Moreover, Usher’s voice here is just incredibly commanding and soulful; his adept falsetto leading into a staggeringly grand refrain. It’s great to hear him achieving these new passionate heights, especially at this point in his career.

Funky, soulful, largely organic, and as tasteful as a song about oral sex ought to be, “Good Kisser” is a truly great pop tune. If Usher’s gonna be turning out earworms like this, maybe losing your SO to him wouldn’t be such an unbearably embarrassing thing … Nah, of course it still would be.

What do you think?
