- ‘Trading Places’ (2008) This down-tempo linkup with hitmakers The-Dream and Los Da Mystro finds Usher daydreaming about romantic role reversal—from feminine chivalry to lady-led dominance in the sheets.
- ‘Moving Mountains’ (2008) The video for Usher’s 2008 single “Moving Mountains” is presented as a sequel to its deliriously horny predecessor “Love In This Club,” a conceit which works for the track at large, as well.

- Good Kisser. As his career unfurled, Usher started to become much less subtle, and “Good Kisser” feels like a fulcrum moment in his exploration of innuendo.
- Throwback featuring Jadakiss. At the time that Usher recorded “Throwback,” producer Just Blaze was undoubtedly in his imperial phase, coming off of helming now-institutional records for Jay-Z and Cam’Ron.
Usher joins the conversation with this immaculate Diplo-produced break-up song that the producer described on Twitter as “Radiohead quiet storm”. A masterclass in less being more, the restraint exercised on ‘Climax’ makes it one of Usher’s most vulnerable and emotive. Grant Brydon. Good Kisser
