Moving Mountains
July 26, 2008
USHER
2001's "U Got It Bad" was the story of a broken heart and 2004's "Burn" offered emotion following betrayal, but Usher's first ballad in four years, "Moving Mountains," is his most emotional epic cry yet. The dramatic, downtempo song includes chilling piano and pained yet robust vocals over light synth and earthy sounds of despair. "Mountains" is the third single from the chart-topping "Here I Am," which achieved the highest first-week sales for a male artist this year. The video is a continuation from previous No. 1 single "Love in This Club," a sort of wake-up to reality. Usher pulls off this lyric-heavy song with such ease and soul, as the track is destined to scale the chart mountain.—Michael Menachem
