Nov 25, 2014It is simply a good collection of good songs, put together by talented folks to showcase their obvious talents.
-
Sep 23, 2014Running 21 tracks and 75 minutes in its deluxe edition, X sometimes threatens to be too much. But there’s enough appealing material to support that runtime.
-
Sep 18, 2014There aren't many singers who have both the vocal ability and range of delivery to traverse a musical landscape that vast, but Brown does it all while impressively managing to maintain a real cohesion throughout X.
-
Sep 17, 2014X certainly proves that Chris Brown’s talent will forever shine through over whatever troubles come his way.
-
Sep 15, 2014Brown combines memorable hooks with some stellar production work on the rubbery disco-funk of "Add Me In" (courtesy of Danja) and the blithe, swaying "Time for Love" (a collaboration with Jean Baptiste and Free School). In these and a few other songs, romantic affection, expressed with seemingly genuine sweetness, takes precedence over sexual aggression and petulance.

Sep 15, 2014Once gratuitous fillers are skipped, gems appear, especially on the closing half, where Brown is lucid about his tabloid love life.
