Chris Brown releases tracklisting for X

By Michael Loring

You’ve already heard a lot of the tracks off of Chris Brown’s newest album, “X,” due to release September 16.

But what you probably don’t know is that the album has tracks produced by Diplo, and Roccstar, giving it a sound that pushes the proverbial Brown envelope.

And, in case you were wondering where in the heck the long- ago released “Fine China,” “Loyal” and “Don’t Think They Know” featuring Aaliyah live… Well, they’re bonus tracks on “X.”

In case you missed it, here’s the video for “Loyal.”

The fairly traditional, R&B and slow hip-hop-esque album (yes, I already listened to it) also features cuts with R. Kelly, Lil Wayne, Usher, Trey Songz and Rick Ross. Brown certainly plays it safe with this one, but it’ll be a good turn-on for his core fan base.
