Usher gives us some futuristic gloss in a new preview for his latest single, ‘Numb’. Since its release four months ago, latest album ‘Looking 4 Myself’ has sold a snail-trailing 385k. Perhaps the dancentric video could help the album snag a Gold certification before the end of the year.

The era has been an underwhelming one for the crooner. For ‘Scream’ is the only single from the project to land a top ten on the Billboard Hot 100. If that wasn’t enough of a low blow, the album has become the slowest selling one in his career.

Revitalising his popularity will see the 33-year-old take on a forthcoming role as a coach on NBC’s The Voice in the coming months.
