2009 release from the R&B star. Preparing for his 2009 release Graffiti, Chris Brown has crossed the threshold from teenager to young man. Experiencing the growing pains, challenges, loves and losses of the past year, Chris has found his way as an artist. While creating his own distinct sound, he has put together a body of work that captures the many dimensions of youth: lost love, disappointment and self discovery counterbalanced with swagger, ambition and partying. Graffiti represents the gateway to Chris' next chapter as an artist and young adult.

| This CD did not impress me at all. It showed no growth as an artist and no sincerity as a musician. With his image tarnished by being a convicted woman beater coupled with his childish bratlike rants on the internet Mr. Brown needed to bring someething more to the table than this tired rehashed music. There are too many other sound alike artist who are not wonky little brats who stomp thier feet and hit women |

Chris Brown's third album, Graffiti is a solid album, consistent with the young entertainer's ability to produce quality music. Many reviewers have been unable to separate the singer's personal drama which headlined 2009 from the quality of the album. I do not suffer from that disability and the album was reviewed strictly on its merit without the stripping of every single lyric to get some subliminal message about relationship drama and apologies for past wrongs.
The title fits the tracks of the album. When one thinks of graffiti, images of colour, art and spray paint fill the mind. Music should inspire feelings, images, memories and movement. Each track on this album inspires at least one of those elements, some more than others. The well known "I Can Transform Ya" which features Lil Wayne and Swizz Beatz is the type of track one most associates with Chris as he can showcase his dance moves and get his audience moving but his slow track "Crawl"is the most inspirational song on Graffiti. Chris hits every musical nail on the head with Crawl. Poignant with a great beat and sung flawlessly, this song will appeal to all ages and genders. "Sing Like Me" is a track that the ladies will have on repeat. Catchy and giving glints of Chris' passage from a boy to a man, this will be a favourite.
The tracks "So Cold" and "Lucky Me" are more on the emotional side with the instrumentals on both tracks being stand out features. Chris Brown stands out from other artists with his ability to write or co-write songs that are lyrically serious or even melancholy but on a beat that is infectious and still causes you to move your body while singing lines like, "can you imagine the weight of a world, placed on your shoulders trapped in this world and no one can reach you..." which are lyrics from the track "Falling Down".
Three of the major stand out tracks, other than the three already released from the album are "Famous Girl", "I.Y.A" and "Wait". "Famous Girl" is simply brilliant, sonically and lyrically. "I.Y.A' is the type of song that will be a banger especially in the UK and Europe. It has a classic beat and the artistry of entertainers like Kylie Minogue and to some extent Crystal Waters come to mind when listening to that song. Adding Trey Songz and The Game to the track "Wait" is like having a double chocolate cheesecake and pouring rich, warm, caramel syrup on top, a hot combination with lyrics that are blazing and a beat that the dancers will stomp, spin and flip on. Hopefully a video is done to this song to add that visual dimension to its vibe. Trey and Chris in one video can only be a number one on the video charts.
Graffiti is a great buy. For those fans who want more, get the deluxe version as the bonus tracks are also worth the extra.

| This album is definetly worth the price. All the negative vibes left by other consumers is just not in the forgiven mood. Chris Brown is remarkable and he is still the prince of R&B. Keep the tracks coming. |

Welcome to Michael Jackson's world. Not that he hit any women but it seems that Chris Brown will never be able to live down what happened in his personal life. Don't confuse his musical talent with his personal problems.
This guy has talent and this cd is a great effort on his part. He has grown and this has great R&B pieces along with some collaberations with other popular artists. I see tons of his cd's on store shelves and there they sit.
People, you are missing out! There is alot of musical talent here to enjoy. Get it now! |

| Chris Brown's previous albums were trash, why bother even making another one? This one was just as bad as the others and i keep getting the feeling that they will just keep on getting worse. If you didn't like Chris before, you definitely won't like Chris now. |
