![]() ![]() I think that it’s going to…’ Because people don’t sing in falsetto when you get to that level. It’s going to freak people in R&B I and is going to freak people out who are more alternative. ![]() I want to sing in a way that no one else does in this time over a track that I know doesn’t fit there. I just said, ‘I just feel like I should be classic R&B. I don’t know if they’re going to think I’m overthinking it. But the reality is, the conversation in it, I was like, man, I just feel like this might be too much for people. And it just so happened that the climax was there too. I was literally in a relationship with a person who I wouldn’t commit to and would not get to the place of like, all right, let me commit to you and make this more than just something that’s frivolous and something that is a physical thing. And he’s like, ‘Yo, I think that this…’ And it took me forever to be okay with letting it go, to just like, okay, offer it to the world and care not what people think, just put it out knowing that… In it, by the way, was an under story. ![]() But I said, ‘Is there any way to tie these two worlds together?’ This world that was happening as an emotion for EDM, but do it in a way through using R&B. Yeah, I made R&B hit records before and, yeah, Diplo, he could do many things. “Me and Diplo, we were trying to do something that would raise the bar for R&B. “I think ‘Climax’ was one of those ones because I felt like it was so advanced in the nature of what it was,” he tells Lowe.

Take a listen to both, and, if we're right about our summer predictions, expect many more to come.Big Bro jumped in to set the record straight!!! S/O to everybody participating in the #ClimaxChallenge I had to separate the fellas cause that falsetto just hit different! Ladies I got y’all comin up next. Next up is the song's original producer and our favorite musical hypeman Diplo paired with trance-y duo Flosstradamus-this remix wins by not doing much at all, realizing just how brilliant the song is from the get-go, preserving the vocal almost entirely and just adding a more pounding instrumental under to make it right for the clubs. First up is XXYYXX’s redo, a mysterious dude who strips "Climax" down to whispers and clicks and clacks, latching on to the songs original simplicity and pulling the space between notes so wide open that you're left with just a shadow. A proliferation of remixes is usually a good sign that a song is making its way through pop culture, and today we find two brand new re-workings. ![]() We're just starting to place bets around the office on early contenders for the "Song of the Summer", and Usher’s " Climax" feels like a lock, if not for the gold, than at least the silver or bronze. ![]()
