New Release Date for Chris Brown’s Graffiti
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Release Dates, R&B / Soul,
I’m not sure how a date change would really make a difference in Chris Brown‘s life at this point, but I guess it wouldn’t hurt for him to try.
Although the 20-year-old singer’s upcoming album was originally set for release on December 15, it will now be made available one week earlier.
Why would Chris want Graffiti dropped closer to Rihanna’s own release date (Nov. 23)? Closer to the unveiling of his ex’s 20/20 interview? Who knows? Maybe Jive Records figures it’s best to take advantage of any publicity - good or bad?
Whatever the reason, the CD comes shortly after Brown kicks off a list of performances. He’ll kick off his Fan Appreciation tour in Houston on November 14 and wrap up in New York on December 15.

Rihanna to Blast Chris Brown on CD
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Pop,
Rihanna is set to speak about her volatile relationship with Chris Brown for the first time in a track on her upcoming CD.
Ne-Yo, who is working with the 21-year-old singer on the record, said: “Expect an edgier, almost angrier Rihanna on this one. Rihanna says some things on this album that you’ve never heard her say before.”
It is thought Rihanna could be planning to sing about the assault, or about the violence which marred the relationship. Court papers have revealed the pair were involved in at least two other “domestic violence” incidents before the February altercation, during which Brown punched, kicked and choked the pop beauty in his car.

Chris Brown Ordered to Avoid Rihanna Until Probation Ends
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Chris Brown has now been formally sentenced for his assault to Rihanna. Both musicians, the couple created nationwide headlines when the incident occurred. Brown was charged with, and pled guilty to, a felony charge for his actions.
As a result, Brown will serve five years’ worth of probation and six months of community service. This seems a pretty light sentence, considering the public outcry which stemmed from the February incident. Brown recently issued a statement of apology to his fans and the world at large for his actions. For the duration of his probation, Brown must stay at least 100 yards away from Rihanna at all times.

Chris Brown Working to “Please His Fans”
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Videos, R&B / Soul,
The situation with Rihanna may have cost Chris Brown a lot of fans, but that won’t keep the singer from trying to win them over.
Even though a preliminary hearing on his assault case is just weeks away, the singer is currently focusing his energy on a new album. According to songwriter and collaborator Robert Allen, Brown’s time away from the spotlight has been about more than just hiding out. (Because, as he made it quite clear in the video, he “ain’t a monster.”) “You want to go away so your audience can miss you some,” Allen said. “But he’s so happy and ready for this next album to break through and make a big impact. He wants this to be his masterpiece. He’s predicting this will be his biggest album.”

Chris Brown working on country music for next album
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Country, R&B / Soul,
Chris Brown is currently recording a country song. The 20-year-old Brown, who has pleaded not guilty to assaulting on/off girlfriend Rihanna in February, is believed to be working on a new track called ‘Trapped in a Dream’ which may be included on his next album.
Chris’ producer Robert Allen said: “Maybe we’ll see an appearance from country star Carrie Underwood or someone like that. It’s that kind of song. It’s just feeling like you don’t want that dream to go away. Everybody has a dream and you’re in it, but you wake up and you’re like, ‘Oh, my God.’ You feel like you’re still in that dream.”
