He's on RCA records, by the way.
RCA and Jive merged.
I thought Jive no longer existed?

Anyway, never really liked "Don't Wake Me Up". Hopefully this one will be more R&B than F.A.M.E. so no one will ever complain again if this won Best R&B album at the Grammys.

Don't wake me up is one of his worst songs so I hope he ignored it.

Rap-Up

Chris Brown gets some things off his chest on the introspective “How I Feel,” a new track released online. The R&B sensation addresses the ups and downs of his personal and professional life including witnessing his mother being physically abused, his aversion to the media, fair-weather friends, and the infamous night with Rihanna from three years ago.

“Nineteen, a ni**a went through a tragedy/ Three years, a ni**a just found a better me/ Yeah, you might find another lover, but you always started with Breezy like the letter B,” he sings. Listen closely.
LISTEN

I really like it. :P

'Don't Wake Me Up' is great, it better be on the album. It's like T-Pain met Empire of the Sun.

It's from Chris' Twitter. Actually it only says "new music", not "new singles". :wink:

I agree, I think you need to see it as the sticker on an album, sometimes they all end up as single, the other time some of the titles end up as album highlights

Not too excited by his singles thus far. I liked Turn Up The Music at first, but like every other House music, it's only fun to hear a couple of times before moving on.

Sweet Love and Till I Die suck honestly. I think Fortune will probably go platinum but nothing amazing yet.

Heck, I didn't like FAME that much either and I bought a retail copy of it. 0_o Graffiti is still his best and most underrated imo and his mixtape is also some of his best work thus far.

I'm starting to get a bit worried about the album now. Every song I've heard so far, except for Turn Up The Music, is disappointing to say the least... :-?

I think he should have worked longer on the album, idc if I have to wait unless the music is good, but it seems this project is a rush job for a part, I mean it is easy these days to get a Turn Up The Music, but the urban tracks he has been releasing or that leaked feel pretty underwhelming

I agree with you guys. I'm actually a bit worried about this project now and I heard it's getting pushed back. :-?

Me2.

Disappointing so far. TUTM was great, especially the hot rihmix. But Strip wasn't my cup of tea. The other new songs (forgot the names already...) weren't good either.
