Chris Brown's Exclusive: Early Album Review

Two years ago, the world was getting its first glance at R&B singer Chris Brown. After almost 2 million records sold Chris Brown is now back to take the industry by storm on his sophomore album, Exclusive. A lot has changed in the past two years as on his debut there was not the incredible pressure on Chris to make a masterpiece. This time around, after various delays, the album is finally ready. Will Chris Brown still be the reigning prince of R&B after his sophomore album?

The first single off of Exclusive is the song Wall To Wall. The track was written by Sean Garrett and produced by Swizz Beatz. The song features an up-tempo vibe about Chris' attempting to choice with girl he wants since they are all over from wall to wall. The song had big potential to be a hit single but has been Chris Brown's lowest charting performance to date peaking at number 79 on the Billboard Top 100 Chart. The video features a mix between the movie Blade and Michael Jackson's classic Thriller.

The second single is Kiss, Kiss featuring T-Pain. The song was produced by T-Pain and written by Chris Brown and T-Pain. The song is the basic T-Pain Autotune heavy song. The beat is simplistic and just is not very memorable.

With You produced by StarGate is one of the better tracks on the album. The song is very reminiscent of Beyonce's Irreplaceable and other StarGate produced tracks. The song however is a very strong R&B track even though Chris' vocals are not the strongest on the song.

On Throwed Chris is joined by hit-maker Bryan Michael Cox. The song is highly influenced by Washington D.C. based musical Go-Go style. The song is catchy and could help to usher in the Go-Go style getting a greater acceptance in the rest of the country.

I'll Call You features Chris singing over a Swizz Beatz produced track. The song is a very strong track. The song is very dance friendly considering it is a mid-tempo track.

The track You finds Chris singing over a mid-tempo track. The song is fairly catchy but is not one of the strongest tracks on the album.
