Usher “I Care For U”

Usher may be hopping on a bandwagon in doing a dubstep track like “I Care For U,” but the execution of the song is exceptional, and his voice seems totally natural in this context. This works mainly because the cold tone and trembling bass echoes the lyrical sentiment, in which Usher sings from the perspective of a stoic guy who has trouble expressing his affection but is trying to show his lover that he truly does care. Usher’s voice is great here, conveying hidden passion without forgetting that his character is still playing it close to the vest. The bass wobble is intense, and dramatizes this feeling of trying to break out of an emotional shell, and being a little afraid of what could happen if that shell shatters completely. The steps toward vulnerability are in earnest, but still very measured.
