Chris Brown by Chris Brown
Good Service!
Hes a lot like the 16-year-old boy living in the house next door to you: one
minute hes five-foot-seven, the next hes 61. One minute hes a cute little
boy trying to dribble a basketball, the next a superstar point guard. One
minute hes ducking under the covers pleading for five more minutes of
shut-eye, the next hes racing through a day full of recording, performances
and interviews. With his easy-going demeanor and schoolboy charm, Chris
Brown could easily be somebody that you know. With his incredible voice
and a debut cd laced with clever lyrics, hypnotic tracks and impeccable
vocals, hes someone that the world will soon know. Chris isnt part of some
A-list producers camp. Nor does he hail from any of those famous urban
music hubs like NYC, Compton or the ATL. Straight from Tappahannock,
VA --- population 2000 -- Chris Brown proves that real talent, persistence
and charisma still have a place in the music industry. One listen to Chris
16-year-old voice and youre tempted to draw comparisons: Michael
Jackson, Tevin Campbell, and Usher. But listen a bit longer and those
comparisons begin to dissipate as it becomes clear that, while Chris
certainly channels the creativity of those who have come before him, he
definitely has a style, a flavor and a place in music that are all his own. His
debut CD Young Love takes us on a journey through the malls, parties and
teen hangouts as Chris covers a variety of subjects: A girl that hes dying to
hit the dance floor with. A girl thats got another man. A girl that has him
totally and completely head over heels in love. Its an album about young
boys, young girls -- Young Love. In selecting songs for Young Love, Chris
said he simply relied on his own sense of what was hot and what was real
for him and his peers. When I hear these songs, I feel something. I know I
can relate to them. I take myself out of the artist box and I become an
audience member and I critique myself. Chris got his musical initiation
early on, inspired by what he refers to as the eclectic taste of his parents
and soaking in the sounds of his favorites: Michael Jackson, Sam Cooke,
Stevie Wonder, Donnie Hathaway, Anita Baker, and Aretha Franklin. But,
like most young boys, Chris was soon drawn to rap and was certain that he
would be the first emcee to put Tappahannock on the map. I was rapping,
he recalls. I didnt understand that I could sing until I was like 11 or 12. My
mom heard me singing around the house and she said, What are you
doing? You really can sing! So then I started going to school and singing to
the girls. By the time he was 13, Chris realized that his voice was more
than just a chick magnet. And so did his mother as he began to hook his
son up with various producers. When I went in and started working, there
were ups and downs but I loved it and I knew I wanted to do it for the rest
of my life. Chris may still be a lot like the boy who lives next door to you.
But not really. Youll see.
There is a new star in town and all male R&B singers need to be on the
look out for this newcomer who has been taking the music industry by
storm.
His name is Chris Brown and already, hes being smashing up the
charts with his single Run It featuring Juelz Santana of the RocaFella
Label.
He may be only 16 years of age, but his vocal flow and dancing
moves is out of this world. His signature style has already being compared
to that of Grammy winners like Usher and Justin Timberlake.
Being the newest member on Jive Records, this Virginia native had
the opportunity to work with producer Scott Storch, who helped him in
recording more than fourteen tracks for his debut self titled album Chris
Brown.
Brown opens his album by first paying homage to his native state,
followed by his smashing hit Run It, where he sings about challenging
female dancers to see if they can run the dance floor without their ma n(s)
on their side like he does. /Is ya man on the flo? / If he aint ----/ let me
know/ let me see if you can run it run/ girl indeed I can run it run it/.
Run It is followed by his third track Yo (Excuse Me Miss) which people
already are speculating to be his next single from the album. On this track,
he harmonically sing his way in expectation of getting a young ladys
attention across a room in a night club. /I dont know your name but
excuse me miss/ I saw you from across the room/ and I got to admit that
you got my attention/ you are making me want to say yo/.
Gimme That is another hot song on the album. The tempo of the song is
very fast with its blend of ballads and has that ability to move the most
timid person to stomp their feet or bump their heads to its sound woofing
beat.
Being that, this is his first album, Brown collaborated with a mix of veteran
artists like Noah, Jermaine Dupri and Bow Wow to help spice up his
album.
Brown may be a teenager but his album is already attracting worldwide
music lovers of all ages. The beats are very catchy and the lyrics contain
no profanity making it a perfect album for any family. The album has very
creative titles, like titles that have already being used by other artists and
has being known to be a hit, like Jay-zs Excuse Me Miss and this albums
Yo (Excuse Me Miss).
Although the thought of a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist may
sound too early at this point, the album sounds promising; at the rate its
first single has being jumping up the Billboard chart into being number one
for the fourth consecutive week.
The recording is available in a conventional CD format and its available in
all music stores.
