Graffiti
At the age of 16, Chris Brown was Famous for the hit single “Run It!” which topped the Billboard Hot 100, making Brown the first male artist to have his debut single top the chart since Montell Jordan in 1995. He is so young in his lifetime but mature in music.
The nominations for the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards have been announced lately on Wednesday night with the CBS special The Grammy Nominations Concert Live. On the stage with laser beam pointer rays overhead, the album from American R&B singer Chris Brown has been nominated for 4 Grammy Awards including Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group (“Love” with Jill Scott and Marcus Miller, and “Take My Time” with Tank), Best Contemporary R&B Album (Graffiti), and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration (“Deuces” with Tyga and Kevin McCall).
Graffiti is the third studio album by American R&B and pop singer Chris Brown. It is the follow-up to his successful second album Exclusive (2007). The album was produced during 2008 to 2009 by several record producers, including Polow Da Don, Swizz Beatz, The Runners, and Brian Kennedy. Primarily an R&B and pop outting; Graffiti incorporates elements of electro-pop and hip hop music with synthesizers and electronic-influenced beats. I bought this album when browsing to buy a power laser pointer on the net. Since I received the CD with my highest power laser I had played it over and over again. This album contains so many catchy songs.
The album debuted at number seven on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling 102,489 copies in its first week. To date, Graffiti has moved 316,000 copies in the US. It became his third consecutive top-ten debut in the United States and produced three singles that achieved moderate chart success. Upon its release, Graffiti received generally negative reviews from most music critics. The album has been called a “forward-moving fusion of R&B, pop, rock and Euro-dance.” Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune said like on Rihanna’s post-romance Rated R, “Brown aims to expand his music beyond hip-hop-flavored R&B by embracing Euro-disco, Goth-rock and new wave.” Kot compared Brown’s work to the “cross-genre experiments of Kanye West, Saul Williams, and Lil Wayne.” According to Mikael Wood of The Los Angeles Times, most of the album is in “upbeat party mode”, mixed with power ballads, assumingly to “illuminate” his remorse over the Rihanna incident. Giving the album a generally negative review, Kot said, the album’s upbeat tracks would sound fantastic on the dance floor. However, there’s a little bit of everything here…dance tracks, deep beautiful ballads, and bangers. I have to say that Chris has definitely grown with this album. I just hope that more people actually give it a chance and a listen without automatically casting it off as a failure because of his actions…you’re missing out on good music if you don’t.
Variety, Nice Beats and he showed a side that most people don’t get to see. Lucky ME really hits home with things he’s been thru and others as well. Enjoyed it very much! You can find this album from any big Wholesale online shop with a nice price. This is an album worth listening.
