New Music: Usher feat. Pharrell – Twisted (Full Song)

You probably heard the snippet, and with a week to go before Usher’s anticipated album Looking 4 Myself, hits stores June 12, you can now hear the full version of his amazing new collabo with Pharrell Williams. The retro-inspired “Twisted” brings a contemporary twist to blues and funk classics.

“‘Twisted’ is more of a nostalgic record, so when you think about the classic R&B record, we managed a way to modernize it, even though that’s very relevant,” the R&B star told MTV News. “You hear records like Cee Lo, you hear Bruno Mars and also Andre 3000, and that sound is very relevant in this time. So this was kind of our way to tie it all together and give you something different that you probably wouldn’t normally get from me.”
