Chris Brown’s Got Me Swayin, Bouncin, Grindin

October 30th, 2007

I ain’t gonna lie, I’ve def. got a big ol’ soft spot for some good ol’ fashioned R&B. We ain’t talking about Otis or Marvin – though those two guys happen to be on heavy rotation on my ipod – we’re talking about the new generation of R&B singers, the Chris Browns, the Ushers and the Ne-Yos, that have got 14-year-old girls in hysterics … Ah yes, their sweet soulful harmonies, their infectious hooks, and their overproduced beats is like a drug that I can’t kick – I just want more, more, more! For once in my life, I can empathize with LiLo.

Now this brings me to Chris Brown’s latest release Exclusive which we’re currently spinning a week in advance of its release date (yeah, shameless plug). Do I like it? NO, I LOVE IT! CB’s collaboration with Big Boi on the track Hold Up is quite simply off the hook. I can’t help but bounce a little when I listen to it .. And what about the Ne-Yo inspired track With You? Le sigh. I’m actually curious about whether or not Ne-Yo contributed any of his songs to this record .. Does anyone know?

Other standout tracks include:

Down – Mr.Brown’s collaboration with the ridiculously talented Kanye West.
Kiss Kiss – His second single is da bomba.

But seriously folks, I can’t deny the love that I’ve got for overproduced R&B and I really think you guys should give it a listen… Just give it a try and tell me if you think I’m completely whack…

P.S. If you think I’m completely insane for professing my love for Chris Brown then perhaps you should watch his killer performance at this year’s VMAs. He may not be everyone’s cup of tea but he’s sure got talent – Hell, even JT thinks so and anything that JT says goes, right? Heh.
