R&B/Pop-throb Chris Brown is finally in a new direction; one that consists of trying to pick his music career back up. Today, the first single from his forthcoming album, Graffiti, premiered. The song entitled “I Can Transform Ya” features Lil Wayne as well as Swizz Beatz who also is the man behind the production on this one.

First, there is no doubting that this cyborg inspired instrumentation is FIYAAA and the ‘I’m a fly guy’ lyrics give off a cool vibe but this is not “IT”. By “IT” we mean a song that is so appealing that everyone will have no choice but to shut their mouths and let Brown make his way to the top of the charts. The song is very urban which comes as a surprise because when he left the last project he left us with the impression that the Electropop route would be his path. We can see this doing very well on urban charts but as far as reaching the top of the Billboard Hot 100, NAH. This is definitely a grower and hopefully Brown can reclaim the respect that he needs to keep himself relevant.
