Yesterday saw a snippet of a new Chris Brown track, ‘I Love Her’ surface. Fast forward a few hours, and the quiet storm cut has hit the net in full form.
Markedly different to what we’re used to hearing from the 22 year old musically, the song sees Brown reminisce on a love lost.
(Though recorded during sessions for his forthcoming ‘Fortune’ LP, it is unknown whether the track will sit on the LP).
Take a listen after the jump…
Spotted at SC:
Though by no means single material (and perhaps not album worthy either), ‘Love Her’ serves as a potent reminder of Brown’s varied skill as an artist. Famed for his high-octane uptempo’s, here his underrated vocals and emotive delivery are given centre-stage, whetting our appetites for what can easily be a musically mature Chris Brown on future albums. Good stuff.

I usually love all of Chris work, but this was just okay for me. I like the verses, but I was waiting for him to belt out a chorus and it was just too slow and lacking something. It’s not my favorite, but once again Breezy proves that he can do anything musically.

Anyways you guys just like a bit of controversy to maintain your flow of hits
this is definitely AMAZING as usual, and i hope it makes the cut
we still need calypso and sweetheart
but this is amazing, it shouldn’t go to was like alot of songs on his mix-tape

The song is beautiful — and let’s not forget Chris has thousands of songs already done and pre-written…so don’t think he just did this song yesterday….he goes into his vault of hits and picks a song he thinks will be worthy for his fans–then he releases it….no telling when this song was written or put on a track…could’ve been a few yrs ago…..anyway…It’s beautiful. I love it.

I like this song a lot.It’s a grower and I would love to see it on the tracklist of ‘Fortune’.If ‘All Back’ made the cut on F.A.M.E. then this could easily be included on ‘Fortune’.
Now all I need from him is to keep rap away from the new album.It will be great FOR HIM to release hip hop mixtapes to improve his skills and lyrics, but before he has improved A LOT as a rapper, he shouldn’t rap on his albums.

Chris is a diverse person when it comes to music. Dont be surprise if he has all types of music on his album. It may include rap. I believe he will expand his music to country also. His vision as well as his talents goes beyond pop/ hip hop / R and B.

July 27, 2011 at 9:42 am
this was ok i didnt like the falsetto parts , he’s a tenor but not really a falsetto singer i like it better when he sings deeper. Anyway i hope THIS is what “Fortune” sounds like. I brought FAME just because i LOVED the that song “All Back” i was disappointed his album didnt have more ballads like that . I think “Fortune” is gonna be a really good album though

@LOL: i think you know one thing or two about music aswell
Well his falsetto isn’t as polished as many other artists. He vocal texture is very different indeed, It brings out passion instead of skills that why people love him.
Although, Maxwell, D’angelo, Eric Benet & Music soulchild could do that falsetto justice but like i will always say, Breezy has alot of room for growth.
Justin Tmberlake and Usher didn’t immediately have great falsettos it too years of development. It will take a bit longer with Chris cos he isn’t just focussed on singing => he need to perfect dance moves/ MCing/ Acting/ Drawing/ Producing/ Balling etc
he is only 22 and his harmony arrangements is already unique and world class. He isn’t in a rush, there are areas of singing he has locked down=> with practice, alot of the rest will just fall in. Its one step at a time=> or atleast in BREEZY’S CASE 12 STEPS AT A TIME.
That boy is a workaholic, its like a general in a battle field, he can’t rest until he has defeated his enemies and i see them falling off with every record Breezy sets
Billboard, Today’s show, SNL, BET etc he is indeed a champion and alot of respect to him. He is the 1st and only artist to cross over successfully and still be in the game.

to get a clear falsetto, you have to save your voice alot i.e dont talk too much or talk very gently just be quiet for a while. You can’t MC and have a good falsetto, it will make your falsetto harsh. Honey & lime can help but most especially a lot of physical rest.
No matter how good a singer you are, you voice will become harsh if you don’t rest. Thats why some people think Neyo sounds better on the “POT OF GOLD SONG” cos Neyo has really been behind the scenes and not ft or making any tangible songs yet.
Breeezy is an amazing singer, but he need to really rest his voice for some weeks to get it in Top form. But his vocal texture is husky anyways so he could do without that Falsetto
I like this song because its real, no sweetening of bubble gum character. its straight from the heart. the vocal arrangement is AMAZING too. Thats just a Breezy factor on it

“Love It” Breezy’ just on point with the lyrics, mood and harmony of the song. I love the amount of music that he has been putting forth; but I wonder does it take away from some of his Hit’s (climb) or progress upwards to a number 1 status with layered releases of songs.

Chris Brown can sing, he can rap, he can dance, and he is an amazing songwriter and up and coming producer, as well as artistic in both his visual presentation and in the medium of art. Chris Brown is the premiere male artist of his generation. Everyone wants to work with him and everyone who spends time with him in the studio reflects on his talent and creativity. I have hundreds of Chris Brown cuts. He is so prolific and has been churning out songs for years! To state that “I Love Her” is a departure for Chris is just not factual…..his catalogue of songs encompasses Soul, RnB, Pop, Dance, Hip Hop, Ballads, Rock, Adult Contemporary, Bubble Gum Soul, Rap, Reggae, and Inspirational songs. Simply put, he can do it all and he does all of it amazingly!
