Last month, the ATG team celebrated Valentine's Day with a writer-by-writer exposé of the number one love song of all time . This month, our tenderness has turned, and we're taking a look at the Wario of love songs, the breakup song. Which homage to heartbreak reigns supreme? How do the breakups break down? Check out our answers after the jump and let us know what we missed in the comments. JIA @JiaTolentino [...]
Any day that goes by without even so much as a transient burst of David Longstreth's Dirty Projectors is one which somehow leaves me feeling strangely unfulfilled. And truth be known, I've thus far this year rather neglected Swing Lo Magellan so it's something of a saving grace that they released this one over the weekend. There's A Fire originally featured as the flipside to a limited white label release of Offspring Are Blank pressed especially to coincide with a show at New York's Carnegie Hall last month, and it's one to really rekindle [...]
Download The Hood Internet's brilliant So Many Climaxes (Usher x Toro Y Moi) remix.
It's quite unmistakably en vogue to go reworking contemporary R'n'B tracks at the minute and whether that be David Longstreth's Dirty Projectors giving Usher's heady Climax a mildly radical once-over or AlunaGeorge redoing Frank Ocean's Thinkin Bout You, the results can prove somewhat inconclusive. So when 4AD's Montréal duo Purity Ring took to Soulja Boy's Grammy in the wake of the awards of the same name, the jury was bound to take its sweet time about it. Of course elements of hip hop, post-R'n'B , and so forth all factored into the making of Megan James and [...]
While Dirty Projectors where in Aussieland last week, they stopped by Triple J and recorded a cover of Usher’s instant classic “Climax”. This re-do features gorgeous layered melodies with a simple backbeat that provide multiple eargasms. In the rawest of settings, the band proves yet again how magnificent they can be.

Though I don’t believe I have written about them before I am a big fan of Dirty Projectors, especially since the release of their latest album 'Swing Lo Magellan' . Now the Dirty Projectors have done something that made me love them more, they covered a R&B song brilliantly. If you’re reading the blog more often you know I’m into R&B, and mainly the somewhat indie or underground R&B, so a cover of Usher’s Climax by this NY-based indie act for Triple J radio’s 'Like A Version' is [...]
Australian radio station Triple J recently welcomed Dirty Projectors to their studio for an interview and the chance to cover a song of their choice as part of the station's Like A Version series. The group chose to perform a pared down and beautifully harmonic cover of R&B 'superstar', Usher 's 2012 hit, Climax . Check it out below: Proof you a polish a turd? [...]
According to my iTunes play count, I have listened to Usher ’s “ Climax ” 69 times since it dropped last February (Usher! Ushuh! Ushah! Yeah!). While the apparent coincidence seems too good to be true, I do not for one second doubt the cosmic powers of the sexiest track of all time to telekinetically calibrate every iTunes in the world to that exact statistic. This technological quirk could quite possibly have inspired experimental indie giants The Dirty Projectors to team up with Australian radio station Triple J and perform a cover of “Climax,” a rendition [...]
While January has effectively lived up to its London billing as a month as drab musically as it is meteorologically, they're having a topsy-turvy time of it down under if recent triple j Like A Version sessions are anything to go by. First there was dear ol' Sharon doing Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' People Ain't No Good , and now there's this: David Longstreth's Dirty Projectors reinterpreting Usher's heady, chart-glooping Climax. Still swinging high off 'Magellan by the sounds of it, he's joined on the track by the band's [...]

Despite David Longstreth's uphill struggle with Usher's high register, Dirty Projectors ' cover of Diplo and Usher's 2012 hit, 'Climax', is pretty enjoyable. Backed by the OP-1 synthesizer, Amber Coffman really is the highlight on this cover. [via Potholes ]
Dirty Projectors covered arguably the best song of 2012 during a recent visit to Australia's Trip le J Radio . The performance of Usher's "Climax" was a part of their Like a Version series where they ask a visiting artist to cover a song of thier choice. You just know this is going to be a good one without even watching, right? Check it out below. ( via )
When Usher isn't whining, he's great. Like on one of 20122s best tracks , the Diplo-produced " Climax ". Unfortunately, we don't get too many songs like that from Mr. Raymond anymore, so we'll just have to find solace in "Climax" and, you know, this fucking stellar cover by Dirty Projectors . I could go on and on about how they do the song justice and then some, but you should just hit play below and enjoy.
Apart from those few Folk blogs you follow, can you think of many sites and blogs who didn't have Usher 's stunning "Climax" on their year-end list of the best songs of 2012? Nor can I, we certainly did, we know what's up. Populating the other big year-end list of albums was Dirty Projectors 's latest masterpiece Swing Lo Magellan , so it's quite appropriate that when the band were on tour down under they visited Triple J's radio station [...]
Like A Version: Dirty Projectors - Climax | media | triple j .
A few weeks ago, I played a not-so-funny prank on the one and only @tristanorchard . As punishment, I was told to find a recent remix -or rework- of Usher's "Climax". Well bb, I think I finally found one. Posted by @clarkbs
Once DrDr dropped that ridiculous Justin TImberlake “Cry Me a River” cover last year, I would trust these guys to anything. Now they have gone ahead and messed around with our #1 song of last year, Usher’s “Climax”. Adding female vocals, only brings up the seductiveness of the track, giving it a completely new 90s house outlook. Just wonderful. Listen and free download below.
LA-based producer Clockwork emerged onto the dance music scene in 2011 and yesterday marked 30,000 fan likes on his Facebook page. In honor of the milestone, the producer most known for his mash-ups and remixes gave away his 30k Bootleg Pack, to help celebrate the occasion. We heard his 15k Bootleg Pack back in September and now we will expect an entertaining remix compilation every time the producer gains another 15,000 fans. This time, he mashes up some of the biggest tracks of 2012 with some underground surprises, creating hard-hitting outputs ready for the [...]
Doesn't it feel like it was eons ago when the Valentine's Day upload premiere of Usher's "Climax" hit the on-line world and, with Mr. Raymond's malleable, superstar vocal performance and producer Diplo's clean, sci-fi updating of the modern-day slow jam aesthetic, instantly stunned nearly every ear who touched it? From jump, the song was being touted as the contemporary soul jam of the year, and all these months later (including ten long weeks as the #1 R&B/ Hip Hop single in the country) with pretty heavy competition from newer faces like Frank Ocean and Miguel, [...]
Got this one on repeat. Liking Bobbi Dahls' voice on this collab which is making me feel confident about this upcoming week and the shit that is about to go down. And then there is High Park's Popular album....which will blow the fucking minds of your mainstream friends. Download this bitch of a remix album and use it as a party trick.
