Looking 4 Myself is the seventh studio album by Usher, released in June 2012 on LaFace Records and produced by Diplo, Skrillex, Max Martin, and Shellback. The album was a bold stylistic pivot, embracing EDM-influenced production at the height of the electronic dance music boom, collaborating with prominent club producers for a more club-oriented sound. 'Scream' became a top-five hit and demonstrated Usher's willingness to experiment beyond his R&B comfort zone. While commercially successful, the record received mixed reviews from critics who felt the electronic direction pulled him away from his vocal strengths. Looking 4 Myself nonetheless showed Usher's adaptability and his desire to stay relevant as music tastes shifted toward the dance floor.
