Crash makes the most of his 3-octave vocal range, alternating between soaring high notes in the chorus, and butter-smooth low ones in the verses. Since Usher is such a big popstar, it can be easy to forget that he’s an incredibly talented vocalist, with one of the most natural-sounding falsetto voices in the world. It can’t replicate that track’s masterful, constantly ebbing structure, but it certainly matches it for a smooth soundscape, and Usher’s beautiful falsetto. In spite of the new influences, Climax is still very much the core that Crash is trying to emulate. The gentle 4/4 beat of the track could have come from any track on Kygo’s recent album, and the relaxed tempo differentiates it from the EDM-pop tracks that have been so successful over the last few years. The most notable influence on the song is the current in-vogue sound of Tropical House. That’s not to say that Usher hasn’t advanced his style, however. It’s also audible in Crash, the lead single to Usher’s upcoming eighth album, Flawed. It’s influence is still very audible today, in the work of artists like Zayn or Miguel.

The lead single to his last album reverberated throughout the music industry, and is largely responsible for the mainstream popularity of alternative R&B. Following up Climax must have been intimidating for Usher.
