Chris Brown - Exclusive Album Review

Exclusive by Chris Brown, Album Review

‘Exclusive‘ is the sophomore album by American pop/R&B singer Chris Brown.
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.

The album was re-released on June 3 in U.S. and will be re-released on June 22 in U.K., titled Exclusive: The Forever Edition, making the track “Forever” the lead single of the re-release, produced by Polow da Don and written by Chris Brown, Andre Merritt, and Rob Allen. The album is going to have 4 additional tracks and a bonus DVD of an unreleased concert and behind the scenes footage
