Chris Brown’s Album Reviews Are In

grafitti 439x439 Chris Browns Album Reviews Are In

The LA Times certainly didn’t hold back on Chris Brown’s newest cd, ‘Graffiti’. In an album review entitled, “Chris Brown’s ‘Graffiti’ doesn’t make you feel sorry for him…” they kinda let him have it…

It’s unlikely that there’s anything Chris Brown could have said on his new album — his first since pleading guilty to assaulting his ex-girlfriend Rihanna — to convince listeners that he’s still the sweetheart that early hits such as “With You” and “Yo (Excuse Me Miss)” presented him as.

But if Brown’s goal with “Graffiti” was to begin the rehabilitation of his damaged image, you have to wonder how he and his handlers convinced themselves that including the song “Famous Girl,” in which Brown insists that his cheating on a pop-star girlfriend came after her own infidelity, was a good idea. “Should’ve known that you would break my heart,” he sings at one point, prompting a presumably unintended question: Has pop ever produced a less sympathetic victim?

Brown spends most of the rest of “Graffiti” in upbeat party mode, which given the clumsy audacity of “Famous Girl” was probably a wise decision. In “What I Do” he’s “throwing up [his] cash, acting like money ain’t a thing,” while opener “I Can Transform Ya” stresses spending power of an even more exclusive kind: “Whatcha need? You can have that,” Brown promises over Swizz Beatz’s robo-crunk groove, “My black card, they don’t decline that.”

A handful of lovingly arranged power ballads were evidently designed to illuminate the singer’s remorse over the Rihanna incident. Yet Brown doesn’t seem up to the task of contrition; in “Lucky Me,” for instance, he’s really sorry only about how hard it is to “pick [himself] up and perform for the crowd” after the year he’s had.

  1. chris brown did his time and he deserves a break, it is time to move on and let him be!! there are alot of men out there who have hit their partners (more that anyone one wants to hear about) who are forgiven, so why shouln’t he? i have been on the receiving end my self, and won’t let it happen again, but i have moved on and forgiveness is something that everyone is entitled to, so get over yourself
