Released in 2007, “Exclusive” was the second album from the R&B singer Chris Brown. I found him working with more big names in this field as the likes of Swizz Beatz, The-Dream and Scott Storch all got in on it and helped in re-creating the buzz which came with his debut, in which he was seen to bring Pop hits such as “Gimme That, “Yo” and “Run It!”.

Released in 2007, “Exclusive” was the second album from the R&B singer Chris Brown. I found him working with more big names in this field as the likes of Swizz Beatz, The-Dream and Scott Storch all got in on it and helped in re-creating the buzz which came with his debut, in which he was seen to bring Pop hits such as “Gimme That, “Yo” and “Run It!”.
1. “Throwed”
The album begins well as the singer kicks a lively tune to get the thing going as he uses Go-Go influences in order to get into an energetic tune to hype up the listeners as he introduces what this sophomore album has to offer his fans. It is a big one and placed perfectly in order to get the most out of it.
**Five Stars**
2. “Kiss Kiss”
This was a monster single from the album, in which it has Breezy teaming up with another big name in the R&B game as T-Pain shows what he has to offer the singer by writing and producing an adapted song which was already made for a T-Pain project. It is a big dance tune and shows effective use of Hip Hop influences.
**Five Stars**
3. “Take You Down”
He is seen to keep thing flowing through with this, another big single from him, but in this case the mood of the music changes as you see that with this one he gets further down into his sensual side than any other point in his career up to that point. It has a ‘90s R&B feel to it and so finds him making the most seductive R&B joint he is capable of.
**Five Stars**
4. “With You” This was perhaps the most impactful single that the album produced and I felt that for this reason it took form the quality of the song as it meant less and less the more it was played. However, at first I’m sure that everyone saw it as a big tune from him as he tries out much more calm production to make use of the vocal abilities he has.
**Four Stars**
5. “Picture Perfect”
As you find the beats pounding away on this one, it immediately shows that with this one you are in for a change in the music here as the Black Eyed Peas’ will.i.am gets into one of his typical compositions and pushes Breezy to get into a club banger to get people on their feet. It is a fresh on and the freaky Breakbeats show more of the Hip Hop in his music.
**Four Stars**
6. “Hold Up”
The beats in this one are heavy and the reflect the fact that in this one the artist makes changes to his style in order to suit the needs of the guest rap from OutKast’s Big Boi, and so you get some grungy Dirty South running through this one to show what else the singer is capable of and how his singing can be adapted to suit a variety of styles.
**Five Stars**
7. “You”
This is a pretty heavy cut from the singer and I saw it as one which really stood out in the album as a song which would have been a pretty good choice in a single as you see that with it, he comes up with another sensual one here, but with some dingy Dirty South beats, it takes it in a direction which hadn’t really been seen with his music elsewhere.
**Four Stars**
8. “Damage”
The Runners get on the beats here and show how they can move on from the Hip Hop world towards Pop R&B too, and do things effectively in this case with some production which take you right into the atmosphere of the song which he sings and is able to express just what he feels towards the problems which have come in the relationship he is in. Chris Brown jumps on auto-tuning here and as it is only for this on, its acceptable in this case.
**Four Stars**
9. “Wall To Wall”
With Sean Garrett on the beats for this one, I felt that this club tune was one which was able to bring back the hype of his breakthrough “Run It!” joint as it has many similarities in what it presents, and you see the quality maintained on a massive high through this dance tune to get you going once more.
**Five Stars**
10. “Help Me”
The beats in this one are raw and I felt that it was able to push forward more of what you got in the tune prior to it as you get one which has him working for the clubs once again and as he lends his soft and soothing vocals to the powerful bass in the beats it creates a huge contrast which complements all aspects of the song.
**Five Stars**
11. “I Wanna Be”
With Tank behind the writing of this one, I was pretty sure that the direction of the music was going to be moved on a great deal (especially from the one before it0 and this is what you get as he goes for a much more commercial Pop song here. It has stripped-down beats to get him escaping all the Hip Hop for something more traditional, and although it means that it takes longer to feel, I was sill pleased by it as it was clearly a big one, but just needed a little more time to reach its full potential as others on the record had.
**Four Stars**
12. “Gimme Whatcha Got”
This is a fresh tune on the album and gets Chris Brown linking up with one of the most significant collaborators from his debut as Lil’ Wayne is seen to assists with this one and so he throws down some big raps on this one to show support before the singer des another which is done as the one prior to it (other than the fact that Jazze Pha and Weezy force the Hip Hop aspects through it).
**Four Stars**
13. “I’ll Call Ya”
The tune prior to this one sounds like a transitional one as you here that with this one you have distinctive production from Swizz Beatz, who shows that he is capable of much more than R&B and so here he lays down some bumping beats to get you grooving along as he shows how the singer vocals are able to make the most out of what he brings tot he table.
**Five Stars**
14. “Lottery”
The album ends with Chris getting down to another big one to show that even as the thing comes to a close, he is able to bring out the highest quality in his music. It is a banger of a joint and rounds it off nicely to as he comes with a calming tune which has a fair pace to it, but still has what is needed to settle things down.
**Four Stars**
Just as with his debut, Chris Brown’s second album was on which didn’t have any weak points to it. He keeps thing going by mixing in various different approaches and he delivers with just about all of them to the highest possible level.

The Album
Exclusive is Chris Browns 2nd album and has been a huge success in the States, however it has been re-released in the UK several times now. It was only until his third single that he released "With You" that Chris made it in the UK, as it reached the top ten in numerous countries and it very much deserves it as it is a really good track and also my favourite on the album.
With You starts with a guitar intro, and is a typical R ... ...a really great voice, although he doesn't look his age, he looks a lot older, his voice does show his age, and he has a really sweet voice especially when he sings this track, which is a R & B ballad about his girlfriend and how glad that he is with her, and that he doesn't need anything else as long as he is still with her. I always find myself singing along to this and always puts a smile on my face.
The album itself is very varied, a typical ...

Advantages: Infectious Club banggin tracks along with slow jamz Disadvantages: one or two weaker tracks
Chris Brown 2nd album titled 'Exclusive' is a big Improvement on his first album self titled 'Chris Brown'. The album features a variety of tracks to suit almost every RnB / Hip Hop fan. From slow ballad tracks to songs that make you wanna get up and dance to songs make you wanna get crunk in the club. Brown has assembled a top notch crew of producers for this album, including Scott Storch, Sean Garrett, Brian the Underdogs, and will.i.am. This definatly ... ...and Kiss Kiss which are my two fav tracks on the album. This album in my opinion is definatly the best RnB album out at this current time, but we shall see if it can stand the test of time with the release of Ushers new album coming in the near future. ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Exclusive - Chris Brown"
Advantages: A lot of tracks but very few new ones Disadvantages: Not perfection
When I reviewed ChrisBrown's second studio album, 'Exclusive', at the end of last year I was a bit quick of the mark to mention how his relationship with Rihanna was one of a few factors that are contributing to his new popularity. And I'm going to do exactly that again, by including after the jump the recent pictures that reverse their claims that they're not together, as they canoodle together in KFC (not sure what the kernel would make of that). Christopher was even preparing for his 19th birthday by making one of the biggest performances of his career thus far, when he joined 20-year old Rihanna on stage at Madison Square Garden to make a surprise duet. Along way from that 16 year-old that we heard singing 'Run It' a few years back, a now taller ChrisBrown hasn't even waited the twelve months that his missus did to re-release his ...
'Exclusive: The Forever Edition' is the deluxe edition of ChrisBrown's second album 'Exclusive'.
This talented young man has done really well, can hardly believe this is his second album as he seems to have been around longer than that...and he has had various hits from both albums and worked with different artists showing his versatility and diversity that is: really great at doing the ballads and slow tracks and also the upbeat hiphop dance tracks too.
My favourite tracks off this album have to be the ballads and slow ones and that is what I like ChrisBrown most for; 'Take You Down', 'With You', 'Superhuman' and 'Forever' is my best of the more upbeat tracks.
'With You' is a lovely chilled out track with lovely and sweet lyrics that one can really relate to, well I can... It's easy to listen to, is a feel good track and I ...
Advantages: 'With You', 'Damage', 'Fallen Angel' + many others Disadvantages: 'You', and that's about the lowest point really
the pictures of the cute couple, scroll to the bottom of my review, but be sure to rejoin me for the second paragraph once you're done.
'Exclusive' is the follow-up to ChrisBrown's self titled debut album, and whilst this album did not have the same shock and awe factor that there was such a talented 16 year old around, the album did chart at #4 in the US charts - down two places on his first album. As far as us not recognising the young American's talents, this is representative of a #31 placing in the UK charts upon the global release in November '07 - that is also down two places in the UK chart to his 2005 album. Christopher Maurice Brown, who shall be turning 19 in May, does not have one of the most noticeable stage names in the industry now, but as an R&B singer there is no larger rising star that can lay claim to his dancing, acting ...

Album Notes
This sophomore effort from the teenaged R&B sensation dubbed "the new Michael Jackson" is the follow-up to his eponymous 2005 debut. Reuniting with many of the producers of that album, including Scott Storch and the Underdogs, he has contributed to the songwriting this time out, aiming for a slightly edgier, more mature sound - but has promised not to alienate his youthful core fanbase. Includes the singles 'Kiss Kiss' and 'Wall To Wall'.
