In an unexpected but thrilling collaboration, R&B sensation Usher has joined forces with K-pop artist Jung Kook for a remix of the hit song “Standing Next to You.” The remix, enriched by Usher’s harmonious vocals and Johntá Austin’s writing prowess, adds a velvety touch to the synth-funk original.
Usher’s enchanting performance is evident in the second verse as he croons, “The universe approves when you and I dance / So elegant and heaven sent these vibes yeah / It’s way way too early to leave.” The synergy between Usher and Jung Kook creates an energetic yet smooth rendition of the track.
