Usher taps dancehall power producer Don Corleone for his new single "Pressure."

The link-up between the R&B vocalizer and the producer was put together by producer Rico Love, according to Don Corleone. The ii met for the first time at the famous AfterMaster Recording & Mastering Studios in Hollywood, CA. "I got a call from Rico Beloved (an American producer) one night asking me if I could come to a studio in Hollywood, California and be prepared to work," Corleone said.

"I went to the studio and to my surprise, Usher was in the studio. So, Rico said allow me play something for yous and he played me this demo that he did," the producer added. "It has only a few keys on it, so he then asked if I could make information technology fire with that dancehall sound. I made it on spot and information technology took me like 5 minutes to complete it."

Don added that Usher loved what he heard and Rico Love then suggested that they include a female person dancehall artist on the track. Corleone said he made it happen but can't disclose the proper noun of the female creative person who will exist on the rail, but at that place are already some rumors that it'due south dancehall newcomer Shenseea. "We recorded her the side by side day at Hitmaker Studio in Kingston… When Usher and Rico heard it, they both loved information technology," he revealed.

Don Corleone is the first Jamaican based producer to produce a song for Usher which makes information technology a large accomplishment. Dancehall music has been reshaping the sound of mainstream pop and hip hop over the past ii years and more than established artists are at present looking to Jamaica to get the authenticity of that sound. Justin Bieber, who was discovered past Usher, dabbled in dancehall for his last anthology, and we've seen artists like Drake, Rihanna, Tory Lanez, and Chris Brownish all release dancehall influenced singles.
