Surprisingly, the track looks like it may introduce\u00a0an electronic element with Skrillex and Diplo behind the scenes in production. With imprints on works of Justin Beiber, 2Chainz, Britney Spears, and even Usher himself, Diplo has never been a stranger to producing and collaborating with various artists outside of the &#8216;EDM&#8217; realm. Hand in hand with his Jack U partner and Grammy champion Skrillex, whatever may be\u00a0coming from the quad&#8217;s studio time is guaranteed to be impressive.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/uploads.dancingastronaut.com\/2014\/06\/usher-diplo-skrilly.jpg\"><img alt=\"Usher and Ed Sheeran enter the studio with Diplo and SkrillexUsher Diplo Skrilly\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/uploads.dancingastronaut.com\/2014\/06\/usher-diplo-skrilly.jpg\" alt=\"usher-diplo-skrilly\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/uploads.dancingastronaut.com\/2014\/06\/usher-diplo.jpg\"><img alt=\"Usher and Ed Sheeran enter the studio with Diplo and SkrillexUsher Diplo\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/uploads.dancingastronaut.com\/2014\/06\/usher-diplo.jpg\" alt=\"usher-diplo\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.atlnightspots.com\/photos-usher-in-the-studio-with-ed-sheeren-diplo-skrillex\/\">ATL Nightspots<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ed Sheeran enters the studio with Usher, Diplo, and Skrillex","protected":false},"author":240,"featured_media":165653,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9],"tags":[114,35558,113,35276],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 -
