usher ft ludacris- "you don't have to call"
yet more neptunes. sometimes they can still pull lovely musical ideas into their pathologically narrow framework, and this is a good example: synth strings that twist beautifully around usher's usual mannered delivery; plus that hiccupy malfunction sound effect from "caught out there" recontextualized as something more poignant. the only thing i dislike is luda's weird new vocal style - he sounds like his own father!
