Martin Garrix tweeted this picture in the studio with Usher a week ago and I, honestly, wasn't expecting this collaboration to come out so soon. Anyway, it's called "Don't Look Down" (Yeah! The same as the tweet) and it will be out on March 17 through Spinnin' Records. http://instagr.am/p/0IVYCyw_4p

Damn this newbie Dutch twink already gets to work with one of music's biggest legends of all time?! I just hope he's appreciative!
(Hope the song is hot too. Can't tell much from the clip.)

Can't believe Usher is featured in an EDM, and i hope this is amazing! David Guetta's "Without You" says hi! :) When will he release "Rewind Repeat It" tho No idea. I mean, I thought that his collaboration with Ed Sheeran was going to come out some weeks later when it was first announced, but nothing yet.

O. In my defense, I haven't listened to "Euphoria" before, but this is a better example than "Without You" honestly.

And there's also Ludacris ft. Usher & David Guetta - Rest of My Life, that's EDM(-ish) too.

A Dutch radio station has the world premiere later today. But I already found it. It's good, but not that awesome.

I was expecting something better for some reason. I don't mind it but I don't love it. I suppose it may grow on me.
I prefer the song after the second verse.

Saw this coming, but once again it's a Garrix track that doesn't "wow" me. None have since "Animals"; "Proxy" is the closest he's come. I'd say they're equally to blame for this one's mediocrity. Melodically it feels like a Town Called Paradise effect* (i.e. watered-down EDM), but even there I could still get into this if not for moments like when Usher sings "Don't look doooooooooooooown..." Cringe. *Ironic citation given that a new Tiesto collab is now out that I am into.

I don't mind it but it doesn't quite blow me away. I was hoping for something more hard-hitting rather than using Trop House elements. I can see it being a grower.

This is actually pretty good. Usher's vocals suit EDM so nicely

It's more on the subdued side, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing either. Usher's vocals have that smooth quality that sits nicely with the production on this. The lyric video suits the song as well, I dig it a lot.

I've warmed up to this quite a bit as I have been hearing it a lot lately. I still like it better after the second verse though.

That's a really fun video. Viral potential for sure (at least in Europe).
I actually lol'ed at the end when Martin's Asian coworker showed up on the seahorse next to him.
Too bad Usher's missing from the equation though.

This has grown a lot on me, especially when i watched Martin's set in Ultra and saw Usher coming and sang the song live. I prefer the live one than the original tbh.
And i do agree with Albie that this gets better after the second verse :)
