Review

'X' by Chris Brown is a testament to his decade-long journey in the music industry. Released in 2014, this sixth studio album showcases Brown's versatility and growth as an artist. The album's title might be simple, but the music within is anything but, offering a rich tapestry of sounds that span R&B, disco, EDM, and hip-hop.

Brown's vocal performance on 'X' is particularly noteworthy, with tracks like 'Lady in a Glass Dress' and 'Do Better' highlighting his soulful timbre and emotional depth. The production leans towards a more authentic R&B sound, incorporating live instruments and dialing back on Auto-Tune, drawing inspiration from legends like Quincy Jones. This approach gives the album a classic feel while still maintaining its contemporary edge.

Collaborations abound on 'X', with features from Tyga, Lil Wayne, Akon, Rick Ross, Usher, and Kendrick Lamar adding diverse flavors to the mix. From the energetic disco-infused 'Add Me In' to the ambient R&B of 'Autumn Leaves', the album takes listeners on a journey through Brown's musical evolution. The title track, produced by Diplo, sets the tone with its progressive R&B sound, perfectly encapsulating the album's blend of introspection and innovation. - Noah
