Editorial Reviews
2009 release from the R&B star. Preparing for his 2009 release Graffiti, Chris Brown has crossed the threshold from teenager to young man. Experiencing the growing pains, challenges, loves and losses of the past year, Chris has found his way as an artist. While creating his own distinct sound, he has put together a body of work that captures the many dimensions of youth: lost love, disappointment and self discovery counterbalanced with swagger, ambition and partying. Graffiti represents the gateway to Chris' next chapter as an artist and young adult.

Graffiti is truly a good album, there's a little bit of everything here...dance tracks, deep beautiful ballads, and bangers. I have to say that Chris has definitely grown with this album. I just hope that more people actually give it a chance and a listen without automatically casting it off as a failure because of his actions...you're missing out on good music if you don't.

If you guessed that the new album would inevitably contain some sort of deep self regret by what was one of the most noticeable star scandals this year, well you guessed right - The song is called "So Cold" and it's the fourth track of "Graffiti", the newest effort by Chris Brown. When he sings "Damn I want my baby back"/"it's so cold without her"/"she's gone" and on, one can't help but remember the incident involving him and his then girlfriend, Rihanna. A subtle message asking for forgiveness, a chance of saying - once again - what probably he had not the chance to do in person. Subtle because it's not really directed to a person specifically, but we all know who she is...
In general, "Graffiti" could be called a remarkable evolution from both of his previous albums, "Chris Brown" and "Exclusive". More mature, self-reflective in many moments (listen to "Lucky Me", "Fallin' Down" and "I'll Go", the three which wraps up the record), even less annoying I should say. Fairly balanced between dancing and slow tunes, far from being a "deja vu" thing. Except for one moment or another, the concept is all brand new. Much to my delight, it was nice to find that "Pass Out", besides having an uplifting vibe, contains samples of one of my Steve Winwood's favorites, "Valerie". I have never heard Chris trying a sample before - at least one which was noticeable to me - and if this is correct, it's just one more evidence that this album is entirely different in creative terms, and therefore it's worth listening.

When Chris was just a kid and came out with 'Run It' he had the music industry sitting back in awe. Despite his world-wide success he was just a teen with an average voice but great performance skills. On "Graffiti" Chris Brown shows the world his maturity as a musician. This is very evident especially in songs like 'Sing Like Me' and 'Crawl'. Other songs like 'Pass Out' and 'I Can Transform Ya' are upbeat and will definitely keep you on your toes and 'Wait' with Trey Songz is for everyone that ever considered themself a true RnB fan. As I remember someone else saying "'Graffiti' is an accurate portrayal of Chris. Lighthearted at times, very deep and introspective at others and an overdose of pure, raw talent". I really cannot do this album any justice no matter how much I try to. This is definitely one of Chris Brown's best albums.
