Chris Brown - Fortune

by **emilhot** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 3:59 pm

Yeah this seems to be a B-side disc! :oops:

I don't get why he doesn't just record new material! It has only been a year and a few months since F.A.M.E. came out! There's no need for rushing, when the material is not good enough for it! :-?

"Calypso"

Not single-worthy but it sounds pretty good.

Sooo disappointed in Calypso. Wasn't this supposed to be his crazy, caribbean-influenced comeback single awhile ago? Doesn't sound island influenced and all, and is quite weak imo.

This so hot. It would have worked if he was still innocent

Apparently, the leaders of Team Breezy Sydney were invited to Fortune listening session by Sony Music Australia at their office. *jealous*

Based on the comments on Twitter, the one that caught most attention was "Don't Judge Me". The whole album was said to be more R&B than F.A.M.E. and contained more vocals as well.

Yesss I was scared it would be moving even more in a dance direction but to be honest I would be happy if the only dance songs were "Turn Up The Music" and "Don't Wake Me Up".

And double yessss at the more vocals, I presume this means more of him actually singing? Because he is easily the best male singer out there today but he is a rubbish rapper.

^I don't know, probably yes, and maybe less autotune too? Oh and Chris said on Twitter that the album is taking it back to his first album, Chris Brown.

Oh, from his Instagram...

LOVE IT! Should've been the album cover if he had changed his pants!

by **Loveguru** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 3:44 am

The booklet will be amazing

^ That pic would be superb for an album cover.

You crazy?!

No... It's still my favorite single so far but "Sweet Love" is coming for that wig.

by **emilhot** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 4:25 pm

Calypso is a very nice summertune!

It's dumb it's not even on the album! :-?

Honestly i think, it's the best song from this era so far!

Calypso (Cool tune)>>>>>>>Strip (Okay)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Till I Die & Sweat Love (Kinda weak)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Don't Wake Me Up & Turn Up The Music (Crap)

by **LoveCB** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 11:48 pm

I have to agree, Calypso is the best song from this era so far, I love it, should of been on the album! imo

by **abi** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 1:59 am

"Calypso" is OK, I really don't get the hype for it tbh. :lol:

But I'm sure Pollow said on Twitter that it's gonna be an iTunes bonus track or something.

"Don't Wake Me Up" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Oh, and I hope "Geronimo" will leak someday...

by **abi** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 3:10 pm

Urggghhh I'm so done with him for not releasing "Geronimo" till this day. :lol:

I can't stop thinking about this song ever since he re-tweeted the YouTube link a few days ago. For those who haven't heard "Geronimo", here it is.

It's just so frustrating. I decided to rip that super low quality youtube video and converted it to .mp3 and have played it for about 27 times according to my iTunes since that video came out from the Graffiti era. It's a gorgeous R&B mid-tempo, million times better than anything he's been releasing recently.

FYI, I think he gave the song to Brandy, and then it moved to Kelly Rowland but for some reason it doesn't appear on her record and I don't know where it is now. URGH :lol:

snippets http://soundcloud.com/jeff1317/chris-br ... tune-30sec

to be honest. im not impressed at all. definitely not that r&bish as i thought it would be and alot of autotune

by **sanim02** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:43 pm

Trumpet Lights - highlight

Everything else sounds okay to meh to boring. However the snippets confirmed that I will be purchasing this album now.

Singles pretty much fall under the mehh category of the album imo.

Chris Brown Saturday Night Online Ask Anything Chat

Dead at some parts. :lol:

From the snippets, I'm excited to hear "Mirage" & "Tell Somebody" in full. "Don't Judge Me" sounds a bit like "Crawl". "Trumpet Lights" sounds hot as well.

I'll wait for the full album to judge further but so far I'm glad that it's R&B. 8-)

by **ThaInfo1** » Sun Jun 24, 2012 4:24 am

Sounds GREAT

. It's about 80% R&B. It actually sounds like a album than a compilation of hot songs like F.A.M.E sounded (not complaining though, I loved it too :lol:

). I think this album might be giving Exclusive a run for it's money.

One thing I that people don't give Chris enough credit for is that he makes some really good albums. Besides Graffiti (which I thought was just Ok) all of his albums, including his first, have been really good.

by **Jesper** » Sun Jun 24, 2012 7:28 am

snippets sound okay Trumpet Lights sounds as a highlight of the bunch

by **JimJim** » Sun Jun 24, 2012 8:10 am

Didn't 'Trumpet Lights' leak ages ago, or am I thinking of something else?
