Get It Or He'll 'Chris Brown' You

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: A couple take a while to get into

...Released in 2007, ?Exclusive? was the second album from the R&B singer Chris Brown. I found him working with more big names in this field as the likes of Swizz Beatz, The-Dream and Scott Storch all got in on it and helped in re-creating the buzz which came with his debut, in which he was seen to bring Pop hits such as ?Gimme That, ?Yo? and ?Run It!?. 1. ?Throwed? The album begins well as the singer kicks a lively tune to get the thing going as he uses Go-Go influences in order to get into an energetic tune to hype up the listeners as he introduces what this sophomore album has to offer his fans. It is a big one and placed perfectly in order to get the most out of it. **Five Stars** 2. ?Kiss Kiss? This was a monster single from the album, in which it has Breezy teaming up with another big name in the R&B game as T-Pain shows what he...

Review of Exclusive - Chris Brown

Growing Up with Chris

Advantages: Loveable and good songs
Disadvantages: The album is very limited

...I can't say it is hard to get confused when it comes to this youngsters album, as Chris Brown released his debut album in late 2005, the album would appear with different versions and different covers (as highlighted by the wide variety of albums by the artist to review). All versions of the album went by the self-titled name of 'Chris Brown' however the track amounts vary from 8 to 15. For the purposes of this review, I shall be reviewing the eight track version of the album. Welcome to Chris Brown's world. When Chris Brown first burst on to the scene it would be with the single 'Run It', that is the first track on the album if you do not count the Intro (See The Light). Run It was an immediate success and truly was the song of the summer for 2005 and gave Chris Brown the fanbase he so wanted. Chris was himself only 16 at this point...

Review of Chris Brown - Chris Brown

Chris Brown is hot off the production line...

Advantages: Nice voice. Acts his age.
Disadvantages: Bland at times. Pointless remix.

...Chris Brown serves up a fine album which bodes well despite the lack of similar tracks to his hit single "Run It!". Chris seems aware of his audience and never strays far from what a teenage girl would like to hear - which is probably its worst quality. From listening to it just once through you get the impression that Chris is around purely to make money. All the right moves are quickly put in place with the inlay design geared heavily to love-sick teens with Chris smiling, Chris pouting, Chris looking sexy etc. I personally quite like the album. Over the past few years R&B has seen a decline and Chris is one of many artists gaining ground and coming back strong. Although overshadowed by better singers and better production Chris gets it right more often than not. With the classic mix of smooth, slow and mid-tempo R&B gold you...

Review of Chris Brown - Chris Brown

Chris Brown - I Love you!

Advantages: Good variety of tracks, Reminds me of Usher in the early days!
Disadvantages: I love this album although near the end it gets a bit boring!

.... What I like is that Chris doesnt pretend to be grown, he sings about things on his level and so you wont sit there thinking what does this kid know about love!!! As the album continues he brings a lot of new flavours into the album and brings diversity to the album. My only criticism of this album is that they got the track order all wrong, all the released tracks are right at the beginning followed by a long list of slow tracks that after a while someone with less patience than myself could get bored of, my advice is just to perservere, or try listening to the songs in a different order. The Run It remix is a quality track for all you Bow Wow fans out there and there is some good collabs with Top Producers. As I said before, he reminds me of a young Usher, If you liked Usher's early stuff like You Make me Wanna and My Way then you will like...

MASTER C M BROWN

Advantages: 'With You', 'Damage', 'Fallen Angel' + many others
Disadvantages: 'You', and that's about the lowest point really

...Michael Jackson (Junior) attempts to continue to thrill with his second album. Comparing anyone to a musical talent the size of Michael Jackson is a huge feat to live up to, and whilst Chris Brown has repeatedly attempted to pay tribute to his idol - most noticeably with a World Music Awards performance impersonating that of Jacko's well-known 'Thriller' - the rising star himself still struggles to earn any kind of stature in the UK market. As always however there is a motive behind this review, and it's not to brainwash you all into submission that Chris Brown should be able to top our charts. My motive comes more to the recent breaking news of the 18 year-olds relationship with an umbrella salesmans favourite person, Rihanna, who is sitting pretty at two years Brown's senior as a global icon. For all those that want to see...

Review of Exclusive (Deluxe Edition/+DVD) [Digipak] - Chris Brown

Why Couldn't He Just Stay 16?

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: A couple of tracks let it down

...Chris Brown released his self-entitled debut album in 2005, and at the time blew up as a fresh face on the R&B scene as a 16-year-old child prodigy who was to take the R&B scene by storm as he churned out numerous hits in such a short time frame. The album sold big due to his Pop appeal and freshness. 1. ?Intro? 2. ?Run It? This one was his breakthrough single, but I have to admit that this wasn?t the point where I started following him from as here, this song has him made out to basically any new Pop act on the scene performing what is a catchy song which would appeal to the teeny-boppers, and few others in addition to this. Not even the short appearance from Juelz Santana did it for me, and I saw it to be a fairly average song. **Three Stars** 3. ?Yo? The track listings appear to follow the ordering of the singles as this one...

Deserves to Make it Big!

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I'm starting to worry about myself just lately, the amount of albums that I am buying by artists that I have only just heard of and probably wouldn't buy them as a rule, it must be a phase thats I am going through. Chris Brown - Who Is He? Still a young one, only 18 years of age, Chris Brown is from Virginia, America and is one of the hottest new R & B talents to hit our radio stations. Now on his second album, releasing his first at the tender age of 16, Chris was influenced by his idols, Michael Jackson and Sam Cooke and tries to follow in their footsteps. He made it big in America pretty much straight away when he released his first single and now he is becoming more well known in the UK, and very often these days you hear his tracks being played on local and national radio. The Album Exclusive is Chris Browns 2nd album...

Review of Exclusive - Chris Brown

Michael Caine Is Harry Brown

Advantages: Gritty British thriller
Disadvantages: A bit full on at the end

...If you followed the career path of Michael Caine you might well wonder what happened, from being crowned the King of Cool in movies such as Get Carter, Alfie, and The Italian Job; Caine almost dropped out of the popular movie genre. During the 80?s and 90?s with the odd exception (Educating Rita, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The forth Protocol) his movies were generally bottom end stuff, most of his output in this time is available on super low budget DVD. For Caine however age made him turn a corner, and as the star tentatively spoke about a cameo in popular soap Eastenders, his movie career took of in ways he possibly never realised. With two Batman movies, Children Of Men, and the highly acclaimed Is Anybody There? Behind him Caine now returns in his intriguing movie yet, Harry Brown. Harry Brown follows a history of popular vigilante...
