Chris Brown is Back

Chris Brown's fourth studio album F.A.M.E. was released on March 22nd and debuted #1 on the Billboard Charts. The title of Brown's album is an acronym Forgiving All My Enemies. The album cover portrays Brown with a stoic look on his face, with two profiles of himself on his shoulders. These signify the devil and angel within Chris Brown. Many claim their is a resemblance between this album cover and Michael Jackson's album "Michael". This is not surprising since MJ is a huge mentor for Chris Brown, a legend who Brown credits with nurturing his passion for singing.

The album F.A.M.E. features the singles "Deuces", "Yeah 3x" and Brown's current single "Look At Me Now". Brown collaborates with such artists as Tyga, Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, and Justin Bieber to spice up his album. The tracks on F.A.M.E. vary from club bangers that make you want to dance to slow jams that speak of lost or potential love. Each song is lined with Brown's powerful and passionate voice. It is currently #1 on the Billboard Hot 200 and has a rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 on the iTunes store.

Though Brown has had a shaky personal life marked with scandal, this album could be his big comeback. After the Rihanna situation, Brown was forced to take some time off from recording and look at his career. This scandal could have broken his career but he released the album "Graffitti" in 2009 which gave him some good publicity but it was not enough to put him fully back in the spotlight. Brown released some singles that would be on F.A.M.E. in a mixtape entitled "In My Zone" he began shooting videos and focusing on what he really loves, his music and his fans. To promote his album, Brown has made many appearances such as performing on Dancing With the Stars this past week. Despite setbacks in his life and career, Brown's new album F.A.M.E. is a bright light in this young star's future. If Brown can keep his personal life moderate, his relationships discreet, and his anger under control his music will take him back to where he deserves to be, center stage.
