<p>Chris Brown has been semi-lowkey in the media as of late, but that hasn&#8217;t stopped him from working on his music. In an interview last year with Rolling Stone he talked about what was to be expected from his new project:</p>
<blockquote><p>I tried to stay away from the Euro beats, and not go totally pop. Instead, I wanted to take the Quincy Jones approach. The record pays homage to the Stevie Wonders, the Michael Jacksons, the Sam Cookes. I wanted to put that classic essence of R&amp;B and soul with the new age of music now.</p></blockquote>
<p>The album was supposed to be released last July. With only few tracks reeled, &#8216;Fine China,&#8217; &#8216;Don&#8217;t Think They Know,&#8217; and &#8216;Love More,&#8217; it was unclear as to when an album would be dropped. Well Chris just released a tweet (now that he&#8217;s back on social media) stating:</p>

<p>Who knows if this album will stick. Chris has been on tracks with a  slew of people and if that&#8217;s any take on what his album will sound like then eh, it&#8217;s nothing special. Chris Brown has never been the ultimate R&amp;B singer, but his music pops (no pun intended). I&#8217;m interested in seeing if he&#8217;s going to follow in that &#8216;visionary&#8217; album plan he talked about in the interview.</p>
<p>May 5th marks Chris&#8217; 25th birthday and this album was said to be his last. I&#8217;m not too sure about that. Aside from that he&#8217;s in the studio working on Fan of a Fan 2 with Tyga. Here&#8217;s their new track, &#8216;B*tches&#8217;.</p>
