Ace Hood did a 180 on the listeners and released the melodic midtempo, “Body 2 Body” featuring Chris Brown. The Dayo-directed video serves as the visual for the second single off of Blood, Sweat, & Tears (August 9). The video, shot in the Hollywood Hills, features cameos by Rick Ross and DJ Khaled. A few lighting effects here and there plus some very attractive women and that’s the entire video. The song has become quite addictive.
Growing tired of the tracks off of F.A.M.E., well Fortune is not far away with tracks surfacing from the LP. A snippet of a song entitled “Open Road (I Love Her)” leaked and below is how Chris Brown responded:
“If the whole song doesn’t leak then it’s going on fortune! I have so many songs that I’ve recorded in my opinion that are siiiccccckkkk! I just really hope people appreciate the diversity on Fortune!”
Well, guess the Battleroy-produced track won’t be making the final track list of Fortune. The ballad isn’t a new sound from Brown but it is something that Brown does quite well; a midtempo R&B tune about the opposite sex.

Check out this newly leaked track from Chris Brown entitled “Fools With You.” It’s another sensual R&B affair from Brown with an emphasized bassline. Quite decent, the track is. Take a listen below.

Chris Brown pays homage to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, in the video for “She Ain’t You.” The song happens to sample Jackson’s “Human Nature.” Check out the Colin Tilley-directed clip below.
An unreleased cut from Chris Brown entitled “She Can Get It,” featuring Kevin McCall, hit the net, not too long ago. There’s no confirmation whether or not this song is a leftover from F.A.M.E. or to be featured on Fortune.
Wherever this song is from, it deserves to be on an official track list of some sort. It’s not major single material but it surely sounds good. Brown has a knack for these R&B tunes, filled with sexual verbiage.

Chris Brown recently spoke about a strip club anthem he did with Kevin McCall. Well now we can listen and view the video to the NSFW (Not Safe For Work) 18+ clip. Chris Brown just did something for the “nasty’z.”
Chris Brown’s F.A.M.E. is now up for grabs on the net. Despite a great deal of the songs surfacing there are still some that were brand new to our ears. Two of those songs are standout midtempos. With “Deuces” and “No Bullshit,” it’s clear as day that Brown shines when he sings those R&B midtempos.
In “All Back,” Brown sings “you never miss a good thing, ’til it’s gone.” He may be singing about Rihanna, he may be singing about wanting his position back as the contemporary R&B/Pop prince but one thing is certain, he’s sorry for his actions. The melody, the power in the chorus, this jam is knockin’ the right spot.

“Should’ve Kissed You” is more Pop than R&B; it sounds something like a Stargate production. Brown is once again singing with regret as he wishes that he didn’t let the chance go to be with that certain girl.

The tracks are leaking one by one off of Chris Brown’s F.A.M.E. LP. Solid as always but Brown’s music has yet to reach anything near the caliber of a comeback prince. Take a listen to three tracks below.
“Rock, Paper, Scissors” features Big Sean and Timbaland. Assuming this is produced by Timbaland, this is one of the weaker tracks to leak from the album.

Chris Brown samples SWV’S “Right Here,” which sampled Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature,” for “She Ain’t You.” I guess it takes a sample of a classic because this song is nice.

In a recent interview, Chris Brown speaks about his peers coming around now that he is riding high on the charts. Well it is definitely true as Justin Bieber jumps on “Next 2 U.” If this was 2009, or even 2010 you know this collab would not be possible. The song is what you would expect from a midtempo from the two.

F.A.M.E. is aright around the corner, dropping March 22, and with that a new track has surfaced. The Wiz Khalifa-assisted “Bomb” hit the net last night, all tagged up.
The song has a little auto-tune… and sounds like it was produced by Bangladesh. In some parts, the bassline sounds like Weezy’s “6 Foot 7 Foot.” Breezy is certainly coming through with some nice urban tunes.

Chris Brown tweeted his frustrations over his Grammy losses the other day, but he should be over it by now. Yesterday, the artistic guy unveiled the official album art for his F.A.M.E. album, due out on March 22. Very colorful, the art falls in line with that hipster-like/mismatched style of Brown.
Brown is not releasing anymore tracks from album just yet but he is featured on two new tracks, one of T-Pain and one of Justin Bieber.
In T-Pain’s latest single entitled “Best Love Song,” Brown assist with autotuned vocals. The song is radio food and is what we’ve come to expect from Pain: autotune, blaring melody, loudness.

The next is of Brown, jumping on the remix for Justin Bieber’s “Up.” The song is a really nice midtempo. With similar sounding voices, Bieber and Brown nails this R&B/Pop tune. Brown tweeted, “I know y’all are excited about this bieber breezy collab on his album but this record on my FAME album we got is killing everything!!!”
