Chris Brown is steadily working to put out a solid album in 2013. Recently, he sat down with MTV at a listening session and gave some insight about his forthcoming project titled “X”, and will feature a collaboration with the hottest MC Kendrick Lamar.
At times it seems like all we hear about Breezy are his legal problems or who he’s fighting with. He’s looking to really focus on music and return to his R&B roots including a refined falsetto.
He tells MTV: “For the first single, I wanted to go more nostalgic, bring Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Sam Cooke to it, but also bring a new sound to what my audience and fans are listening to,” he said. “For this album, I wanted to have the same mentality as I did with the first album — me being green, me not thinking I know what’s hot and what’s next, me just being Chris Brown. I think this will show my vocal ability a lot more. I’ve developed a falsetto, I can sing at a higher register, and I can elaborate more on my skill.”
Not too much was said about other collaborations with other artists, he did say the track titled “Autumn Leaves” features Kendrick Lamar. He explains that its a laid back-ride with the top down kind of tack perfect for the summer.
