When Billy Joel recorded Uptown girl back in 1983, we don’t think even God could have imagined it’d one day end up with a massive rave synth shoved up its arse and used as the hook in the latest Usher/will.i.am collab. But here we are, and the short of it is that Can’t Stop Won’t Stop, for all its ridicu-sampling, is a bit of an anthem. Sure, there’s none of the sensual poise that made Climax such a crucial artistic re-invigoration for Usher, but in terms of plonking the R&B star back in the centre of clubland as previous will.i.am team-up OMG did, Can’t Stop Won’t Stop feels just about right.
