R&B artist Chris Brown debuts this week, with his second album of his career, Exclusive, released in 2007.
He has appeared at Billboard's Hot 100 from his first self-titled album, "Run It!" and his second #1 from this
week review, Kiss Kiss." His controvery assault with this then girlfriend Rihanna, resulted in his third album to
be a failure. However, his next album, F.A.M.E. returned to the top of Billboard's albums chart. His first two
albums also reached #1 - Chris Brown and Exclusive. His album after F.A.M.E. also reached #1 on
the albums chart, and in later years, Indigo in 2019. Since the album Fortune, he has released other
albums, but they did not reach #1. He has had other controveries of assault, as his "popularity" has not been as
outstanding as when he first emerged on the music scene.
Exclusive achieved a total of four hits, including his #1 "Kiss Kiss" (which another rapper, T-Pain
was also featured. "Kiss Kiss" was the second hit from the album. The other three hits were "Wall To Wall,"
"With You" and "Take You Down."
"Throwed" leads off the albums, and it's quite a good track, as it has an R&B sound. "Kiss Kiss,"
the #1 hit, continues the upbeat R&B sound of the 1990s-2000s decade. "Take You Down" is another good R&B track,
next to "Throwed." "With You" is also an exceptional R&B track - and it's obvious in hearing this track, and the
previous one, how they were easily radio hits. "Picture Perfect" (with Will.I.Am) is a very upbeat R&B track,
groovin' R&B. "Hold Up" (with Big Boi) is another upbeat R&B track, as tracks such as these (minus "Kiss
Kiss" defines the 1990s/2000s R&B - making it music that can be acceptable. It's much better than Rap, even though
there are some touches of Rap throughout this album, such as in this track. "You" continues the "good R&B,"
likewise "Damage." "Wall To Wall" - another upbeat R&B track. And so is "Help Me," more of the
upbeat R&B. "I Wanna Be" returns to the more romantic R&B sound (as heard in many tracks, comparing to that of
Usher). "Gimme Whatcha Got" (with Lil Wayne) is more of an R&B/Rap style. "I'll Call You" returns again
to the upbeat R&B. "Lottery" is also upbeat, and good R&B.
There are two special bonus tracks: "Nice" (with Game), and "Down" (with Kanye West).
"Nice" is another upbeat R&B track (with Rap), and "Down" is Rap, and Kanye. Minus Kanye, "Down"
is another good R&B track.
Chris Brown's Exclusive defines good R&B, with a touch of Rap in some places. The songs that reflect on
the soulful, romantic R&B (as heard in Usher's music) are the standouts. The upbeat R&B tracks are found in Usher's
music also, and some tracks are as upbeat as heard in Beyonce's music. The upbeat tracks are also good R&B tracks.
The guests such as T-Pain, Will.I.Am, Big Boi, Lil Wayne, Game and Kanye West provide some of the Rap. As for the
four singles from the album, "Take You Down" and "With You" are the better of the four. For the fans
of good romantic and upbeat R&B, Exclusive will favor those fans' ears.
