Chris Brown - Exclusive

Chris Brown - Exclusive: Alternative Album Artwork

Well, as I am sure most of you have been waiting for, it is finally here! I have listened to Chris Brown's latest release, "Exclusive" many times and so far, I have really enjoyed it. As of right now, his newest release is #2 on my all time favorite R&B albums. His sophomore album is really some of his finest work and really is done professionally. I personally loved his first album which was self entitled, "Chris Brown." His newest release features some big names on it, which only adds to how good this album really is! The thing about him putting on some big name singers to sing some songs with him is that he made the right calls on who should sing what. Big Boi and Kanye West ("Exclusive" was originally supposed to be entitled, "Graduation," but due to Kanye coming out with his most recent album entitled in that name, CB decided to re-name his to "Exclusive.") fit perfectly in the type of songs that they are singing, unlike 50 Cents most recent album release entitled, "Curtis." Curtis features many various artists and don't get me wrong, I did like the album, but in my opinion, Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) tried way to hard to get big names on his album and he really did not take into account who would fit better on which songs.

Overall, in my opinion, Chris Brown has legitimately taken over the lime light in the R&B genre. I'm not saying that Alicia Keys and other artists in the R&B movement have not come close or even can compete with Chris Brown, I am merely saying that as of right now, Chris has solidified himself among the elite. From his lyrics to the beat on each song, I thoroughly enjoyed CB's newest release. Please leave some comments on what you guys thought about Chris Brown's latest release entitled, "Exclusive."
