Jason Derulo jump on the single cover? Not going to lie, kind of very disappointed in this. Just sounds so….pedestrian. It’s just safe and after ‘Climax’ just raises a big question mark

this is actually smart. no doubt that ‘climax’ is one of the best R&B tracks to come out in a long time and ‘scream’ will take him to the top of the pop charts. why not conquer both if you’re versatile enough to do so.
can’t wait for this album!!

If he wants to do pop so be it as long as he doesn’t stray away from R&B altogether. This song is disappointing because it doesn’t sound like the revolutionary pop he talked about. It sounds like every other pop song.

he just wants a pop hit. *kanye shrug*

I’ve always liked Usher and his music..but I’m sorry this song is not it…I loved “Climax” and will continue to listen to that song, but “Scream”…No…Climax was different than anything that’s currently on the radio.To me it had substance in relation to being in a unhappy relationship,it display Usher vocals and emotions along with great melodies etc….. Scream which in my opinion has redundant lyrics…it just feels like it was thrown together just to satisfy the Mainsteam Pop crowd. I grew up with House/Techno music in 80s and 90s more underground…Some had an alternative,urban and dubstep feel. Go to You Tube and check it out …Usher’s Scream to me it’s like DJGUFIL with cheesy,repetive lyrics…it’s just unfortunate that a talented Artist like Usher reduced himself to a watered down dance song..with then same overtly sexual toned lyrics….Scream should of been about a internal feeling of an external mechanism that causes one to “Scream” something more personal like..what makes you scream?…That’s why I loved Adele’s music she went against the grain. Besides maybe “Climax” would went #1 on Hot 100 if all mainstream radio stations played the song…where I live only the R&B stations played “Climax”….However, I did like Without U and More….sorry for the rambling lol….I if Scream had more meaningful lyrics…and the production was different..meaning a little more of a mixture of Techno and Urban, not just Urban but Alternative..I think most fans would of liked it….

cant blame him though, no one is really checking for any form of rnb right now, so off to pop they are and will all go, after all thats where the moola is these days
