Watch The Video For Yuna's Impassioned Duet w/ Usher "Crush"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

It’s hard not to love this one. Yesterday, Malaysian singer/songwriter Yuna, returned with her latest visual, "Crush," off of her upcoming album, Chapters. I was already a fan Yuna, but my head damn near exploded hearing her angelic vocals over some boom-bap DJ Premier production on her last single. This time around, Yuna slows it down with something a little more swoon worthy with Usher along for the assist. Says Yuna of the collaboration:

The song is about two people realizing they’re made for each other for the first time… Usher completed the song beautifully. I knew from the moment I listened to the whole song, I had to get Usher on it.

Watch the Daniel Carberry directed video, below. Yuna’s Chapters LP will be out May 20th - get her upcoming tour dates, below as well.
