Usher 'Climax' Video: Singer Goes for the Throat in Intense New Visual

Things come to a head in the new Usher video, as the Atlanta crooner brings things to a 'Climax' in the volatile new clip for his collaboration with dance producer Diplo.

Usher spends a large part of the Sam Pilling-directed visual looking tortured, as he stews in his car outside an apparent ex's house, with a gun stashed in his glove compartment, weighing his options.

In one scenario, he charges up the stairs, grabs her by the neck and takes her to the bedroom, playing a dangerous game of chicken with her new man. In another, he simply pulls away, avoiding incident.

"It's odd that people view 'Climax' as a sexual song," Usher said in a recent interview. "It's not. It's not even about sex. It's really about the ultimate experience or finale of an experience of love and life ... It's about an out-of-control experience, when a person has reached the peak of that experience."

Usher's as-yet-untitled seventh album is due this Spring.
