REVIEW OF CHRIS BROWN FAME
The last two years have been anything but breezy for Chris Brown as he worked to repair his tarnished image and regain his following. After 2009’s underwhelming Graffiti, the R&B star bounced back to the top last summer with singles “Deuces” and “No BS.” Now he faces his critics once again with his fourth album F.A.M.E. (Forgiving All My Enemies),available now. Did they raise him up or tear him down? Find out below.
USA Today: But it is a more mature, confident, and adventurous Brown who has emerged in the wake of all the drama, and he has delivered the strongest album of his career. He’s much edgier than before, which is a good thing, since the 22-year-old has clearly outgrown that nice-kid-next-door persona he had six years ago. 3 out of 4
Rolling Stone: F.A.M.E. is a pop ‘n’ b album with something for everyone: bedroom ballads, dance-floor thumpers and even “Next 2 You,” a puppy-love declaration with guest vocals byJustin Bieber. 3 out of 5
Entertainment Weekly: Graffiti clearly came too soon. And some still think Brown should go—and stay—away. But on its own merits, F.A.M.E. deserves to be heard. B+
The New York Times: This album’s highlight is “Look at Me Now,” a fabulous, insidiously catchy production by Diplo and Afrojack on which Mr. Brown double-time-raps about stealing girlfriends. At least here Mr. Brown is clever, funny, and pushing himself technically.
Los Angeles Times: All of it is done capably, even superbly in some cases, though F.A.M.E. also feels strained and sometimes downright desperate. That said, there’s no denying he pulls off some neat coups. “She Ain’t You” is carried aloft on a gussied up sample from Jackson’s “Human Nature” and the sentiment of the song is refreshingly complex. 2.5out of 4
The Boston Globe: Only a handful of tracks truly showcase Brown’s strengths. “She Ain’t You” derives much of its charm from a hefty sample of Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature.” It is totally shameless and completely effective.
The Associated Press: Even on smooth grooves that aren’t sexually charged, Brown sounds top-notch. “Deuces,” a No. 1 R&B hit, was one of last year’s best songs, and like it, “Up to You” is destined to hit the top spot—and it deserves to be.
The Guardian: This record’s syrupy mid-section makes good on his desire to write “songs that your grandma can love,” whileJustin Bieber duet “Next to You” will appeal only to your tweenie sister.
Rap-Up’s Favorite Tracks: “Look at Me Now,” “She Ain’t You,” “Yeah 3X,” “Paper, Scissors, Rock”

Chris Brown 'F.A.M.E' - Track By Track Review
15:00, Wednesday, 16 March 2011
Chris Brown's music may have been overshadowed by various incidents in his private life over the last few years, but the 21-year old singer-songwriter is back on track with his new album, F.A.M.E - an acronym for it's title, Forgiving All My Enemies. MTV UK had an exclusive first listen to the LP - which already boasts singles Deuces, No Bulls**t, Yeah 3x and his passionate feature on Chipmunk's hit song Champion - and after having a taster we think Breezy's cooked up a winner.
With collaborations from the likes of Justin Bieber, Ludacris and Lil Wayne, Chris proves he is a force to be reckoned with as he explores many different genres - from euro-pop and dance to classic R&B ballads, reminiscent of the likes of 90's crooners Joe, Donnell Jones and Jodeci - with love and women being prominent themes.
F.A.M.E contains an impressive 18 songs and for those who may have written Chris Brown off, his latest record proves that Breezy is most definitely back…
Chris Brown - F.A.M.E Track By Track
1. Deuces
F.A.M.E opens with this slow, down-tempo R&B track as Breezy teams up with Tyga and Kevin McCall to tell the story of a failed relationship. The song is also a good platform for Brown to show off his silky-smooth vocals. Co-written by Chris and produced by McCall, the track has already proved to be a hit, even landing a Grammy nomination at this year’s ceremony.
2. Up 2 You
Produced by The Underdogs, Chris is well and truly in his comfort zone with this R&B ballad. Following on from the break-up theme, this tune reminds us of a record Usher may have recorded as Chris powers his way through the heartfelt song. The partnership between Breezy and The Underdogs proves to be a good one, bringing an old-school feel to this very current track.
3. No Bullsh**t
No Bs sees Breezy teaming up with McCall again on another R&B tune with a classic 90s feel. This bump'n'grind like song, produced by Tha Bizness, is reminiscent of the tunes that the likes of Jodeci and Joe were making back when sexy R&B music was in its prime.
4. Look At Me Now
Breezy has recruited the help of Busta Rhymes and Lil Wayne on this uptempo dance-floor filler, with Brown showing off his rapping skills. Produced by AfroJack, Free School and Diplo - who has also worked with the likes of M.I.A - the tune boasts a heavy baseline, and is one of the standout tracks on the LP with its unforgettable beats.
5. She Ain't You
Another ballad from Mr. Brown which samples Michael Jackson's hit Human Nature and uses the drums from SWV's Right Here - giving the tune an instant eighties feel. The samples are pretty much unchanged, with Chris tweaking his lyrics to fit the melody. Chris is obviously influenced by the late King of Pop, and this tune is a fitting tribute to MJ.
6. Say It With Me
In this fast-paced track with a dance feel, Chris revisits his rapping on this future anthem - which is sure to get all you Breezy fans out there throwing some shapes on the dance floor. Co-written by the man himself and produced by Harmony, the song wouldn’t look out of place on a Justin Timberlake record with its high-pitched chorus.
7. Yeah 3x
This track has already taken the charts by storm on both sides of the Atlantic and still remains one of our favourite tracks on F.A.M.E. With its electro-pop feel and catchy lyrics, you can’t help but singalong to this Brown co-written tune, produced by DJ Frank E.
8. Next To You
It seems that everything Justin Bieber touches turns to gold at the moment and this cutesy ballad is no exception. We love the interaction between the Biebster and Breezy on this The Messinger produced tune, showing how well the pair’s voices blend together. As they sing about their love for a lucky girl, this tune totally has the “Awwwww factor”. Perhaps the most 'pop' song on the LP, we are hoping Chris decides to make this a single… a sure fire hit.
9. All Back
After the fab Bieber collaboration, Chris delivers yet another heartfelt song. Showing off his range and vocal ability, especially on the epic chorus. The song tells the story of a lost love and leaves Brown’s sensitive side exposed. The track has a rock ballad feel, particularly with the star’s raw vocals and prominent guitar throughout.
10. Wet The Bed
We have to admit we were rather apprehensive of this Bigg D produced track after seeing its title, and with Ludacris opening the song with the line “Hear the sound of you body drip/ As I kiss both sets of lips”, I suppose you could say we weren’t wrong. Not our favourite song on the LP, this graphic tune sees Breezy exploring ways to er, leave a woman satisfied. We will leave the rest up to your imagination…
11.Oh My Love
Chris picks up the pace on this uptempo tune and sees him teaming up with producers Harmony again. This energetic tune has an Usher-like feel and sees Breezy revisit his rapping - proving that he can definitely give most MCs a run for the money. With its banging beats and unforgettable chorus, we want more!
12. Should’ve Kissed You
It seems even Chris has trouble with the ladies sometimes, exposing his “goofy” side on this Brain Kennedy and T-Wiz track. In a stark contrast to Wet The Bed (yep, we still can’t believe the song is called that either), Breezy sings about his failed attempts to kiss a girl. Not the most memorable ballad on the album, but very cute and shows a more affectionate side to Brown.
13. Beautiful People
Perhaps the most surprising track on F.A.M.E, Beautiful People sees Chris teaming up with DJ extraordinaire Benny Bennassi (the man behind hit tune Satisfaction) on this Euro-pop inspired tune. Yep, you read correctly, Euro-pop. Brown’s vocals are unrecognisable on this Ibiza-dance scene floor filler, which you can’t help but move to. It’s already being lined-up to be Breezy’s next single, so expect to hear it at a club near you very soon.
14. Bomb
Brown explores yet another genre on this tune with Wiz Khalifa, this time delivering a more Reggae inspired record. Produced by Free School, it is reminiscent of something Beanie Man may have recorded. With its feel-good carnival ambiance, we can’t help but tap our toes to this – making it one of F.A.M.E’s standout tracks.
15. Love Them Girls
Chris has recruited the help of The Game on this Polow Da Don produced tune, which is definitely one of the darker, more sinister tracks on the album. Arguably the most hip-hop inspired song, Breezy leaves the rapping to Game this time, who delivers a typically gritty verse.
16. Paper, Scissors, Rock
This track sees Breezy teaming up with Big Sean and Timbaland – whose recognisable beats can be heard throughout on this pop-meets-R&B tune. For those who might not be Timbaland’s biggest fan, the song has a heavy baseline and catchy chorus and sees Chris bringing something different to your normal Timbaland produced tune - we think it’s definitely worth checking out.
17. Beg For It
After memorable ballads like Next 2 You, All Back and She Ain’t You, this slow jam feels a lot like some of the other tunes on F.A.M.E, but just not as memorable. Produced by Stereotypes and co-written by Chris, this is another song about a girl and having sex… an obvious theme throughout the album.
18. Champion
Even though we are all familiar with Chris’ powerful collaboration with our very own Chipmunk, here at MTV we are still huge fans of the song. It sees Breezy at his most passionate and displaying raw-emotion in his self-penned rapped verse. Claiming that it’s the “realest s**t he ever wrote”, the song addresses his assault on ex-girlfriend Rihanna and obviously means a lot to Brown. Breezy and Chipmunk appear to be a winning team and we can see why the tune has been a huge hit in the UK.
Chris Brown’s F.A.M.E is released on 22nd March.

Chris Brown speaks on his naked picture
Chris Brown was all laughter when he spoke about his leaked photo with @radiobigboy
Chris Brown preps for a comeback.
On a mild January afternoon outside a dilapidated Mexican restaurant in downtown Los Angeles, Chris Brown ambles up to a freshly painted mural by street artist Kid Zoom and starts giving the spectacular artwork a run for its money. With his white painter’s jumpsuit folded down and tied at the waist—revealing tattoos that span his torso and arms, including a shoulder-seated Jesus, two nipple-encircling angel wings, and the chest-crowning phrase symphonic love—the 21-year-old singer starts busting a few casual moves that soon have Kid Zoom and the rest of Brown’s small entourage madly snapping BlackBerry photos. For three minutes, all eyes are riveted by the series of flips and Capoeria kicks that Brown somehow freezes at the apex, his whole body hanging in mid-air long enough for him to flash broad, boyish smiles for the cameras.
Suddenly, a Spanish-accented, female voice cuts in from the sidelines: “Excuse me!” Eyes turn to find a very pregnant woman standing on the corner holding a children’s book. She points at Brown and then at the book, and calls out, “I’m about to go give birth and I want him to sign this!” Brown looks, does a double-take, yells, “Oh shit!” and runs over to oblige. The woman thanks him profusely, snaps the book shut, and dashes around the corner—presumably straight to the hospital. “Don’t run!” Brown shouts after her. “You’re pregnant!” He laughs and looks at his videographer. “You get that?”
This is exactly the kind of scene Brown needs right about now. Two years ago, hours before his scheduled Grammys performance, Brown got into a physical altercation with then-girlfriend Rihanna, whose gruesome, widely publicized injuries got Brown five years probation, 180 days of community service, and what looked like a swift end to his career. Major corporations dropped him from ad campaigns, radio stations boycotted his music, B.E.T. banned him from their Michael Jackson tribute, and his “comeback” album, Graffiti, sold 316,000 copies—a major disappointment compared to its platinum predecessors. Overnight, Brown went from the new Michael Jackson to the new Mike Tyson—perhaps a mere setback for a Lil Wayne (or even a Charlie Sheen), but sheer catastrophe for the cherub-cheeked R&B Golden Boy, who once dueted with Elmo and performed for Oprah’s Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa. What he did wasn’t just horrible, it was a betrayal: America felt played.
But what isn’t fake—and may serve Brown better than any tearful apologies or remorseful Tweets—is his sheer talent: an astounding mix of liquid dance moves, butter-smooth vocals, and blinding charisma that America is slowly proving helpless to resist. Last year, his single “Deuces” debuted at No. 1 on the hip-hop charts and was nominated for two Grammys; he starred alongside Matt Dillon and Idris Elba in the heist thriller Takers(which The New York Times conceded was “kind of cool”); and he performed his own, much-lauded Michael Jackson tribute at the 2010 B.E.T. Awards. Now he’s putting the finishing touches on his fourth album, F.A.M.E.,due out March 22.
Talking with Brown at Record Plant Studios a couple of hours after the photo shoot, he makes it pretty clear that he’s done saying sorry. “To a degree, I think no matter what I do [the media] is always going to go back to the situation, the incident, but my mentality is two fingers up.” He raises his middle fingers and grins—a discomfiting gesture given the circumstances, and not exactly the way to win over a female reporter. “It’s not arrogant,” Brown says after seeing my expression. “It’s not mean. [I realized] if you’re trying to please everybody, you’ll kill yourself. You can label Chris Brown ‘punk reject.’ Whatever. I’m always going to give you great music, I’m always going to do stuff that inspires kids, I’m always going to do positive stuff. But I’m not going to live my life caring about what they say about me because I know who I am.”
Ten years ago, Brown was just a regular kid growing up in Tappahannock, Virginia, the son of a daycare director and a corrections officer. His parents divorced when he was seven and his mom remarried a physically abusive man who turned their home into a warzone. “He made me terrified all the time,” Brown told Giantin 2007. “I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, ‘I’m just gonna go crazy on him one day.’”
As a refuge, Brown sang in his church choir and studied gymnastics and karate. He never took dance lessons, instead picking up moves from his birth father. “When he did the moonwalk, that was the coolest thing,” Brown says. “I remember he did it on gravel first—he just slid across those little rocks. I was eight or nine and that made me want to learn from him and start watching Michael [Jackson] more.”
He watched and learned so well that Jackson ended up hand-picking him to perform “Thriller” at the World Music Awards in London in 2006. Brown’s self-titled debut album, released the year before, had gone double platinum and the MJ comparisons were pouring in, so the honor made sense. Afterward, he met Jackson. “My mom said, ‘Do you know any of Chris’s music?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah I know all your stuff…and he sang [‘Shorty Like Mine’] for me. I was blown away. After that, I didn’t need to see him another day in my life.”
Brown did see Jackson again over the years and was actually on his way to the Staples Center to watch one of the rehearsals for the This Is Ittour the day he died. “Me and Jamie Foxx were going to see him and [someone called] and they were like, ‘Hold up. He didn’t show up yet.’ And then we got the call later and it was devastating.”
Jackson’s influence is all over Brown’s new album; he even samples “Human Nature” on a new R&B song called “She Ain’t You.” When he plays it for me in the studio, he mouths along to the words, dancing in his chair, tapping the carpet with his black Nikes. Of the 10 songs I hear, eight of them feel like hits already: all expertly produced and running the gamut from huge club tracks to sexy slow jams to uplifting arena-ready pop songs (or, per Brown, “Bono-big worldly-type records”).
For the album art, Brown is collaborating with Kid Zoom and notorious pop artist Ron English, fulfilling another lifelong passion. His first hustle in high school was painting Looney Tunes characters on T-shirts and selling them for $20 a pop. Since then, he’s gotten into anime and graffiti. At a gallery show last year, he immediately connected with English’s work and even got a tattoo of his art (a baby in a fighter plane). Brown’s lifestyle website, Mechanical Dummy, has an entire section dedicated to art. For Brown, music and art go hand in hand. “My mind sees in color—music paints a picture for me,” he says. “And I’m also [turning] kids that listen to my music onto that culture. And those kids can inspire a whole ‘nother generation, ’cause soon as the kids get inspired, you might have the next Picasso.”
Despite everything, Brown sees himself as a role model and strives to embody one in his songs. “Music is about everybody,” he says with a shrug. “It’s not about the artist. Ultimately people like an artist because of how their songs make them feel.” It’s fitting, then, that the last song he plays for me at the studio is a Euro dance club track called “Beautiful People.” Synths flash like strobe lights over a thumping beat as Brown urges in a breathy voice, “Live your life, live your life, let the love inside / It’s your life, it’s your life, got to live it right.” Whether he’s singing to his fans or the man in the mirror, it’s hard to tell.
