‘X’ marks the spot for Chris Brown. The dynamo performer lights up the cover of Annex Man’s Fall Icon in support of the hotly anticipated album.
As well as posing it up in many a dapper ensemble, the 24-year-old sat down for an interview which saw him wax honest about his recent seizure, his infamous Twitter outbursts, new music, and more.
Flip the hood for more pics and quotables…
-Brown on his recent seizure:
“…the more salacious the news is, the more eyes…”
-Brown on his twitter rants and threatening to quite music:
“Everyone has moments of frustration. I tend to voice what I’m feeling, for the good or the bad…I think I wear my heart on my sleeve…Music will always be apart of my life.”
-Brown on the media:
“If we lived in an ideal world, we wouldn’t enjoy seeing other people fail and falter and suffer, but unfortunately that’s not the case. People want to know who you are and about you but some of the media doesn’t always give the full story…”
-Brown on if he feels the pressure:
“I don’t feel the pressure…Of course everyone hopes for accolades…Especially for this record…”
-Brown on Forgiveness:
“…I expect to have highs and lows, that’s life. I am open to every day and to every experience. I’m only 24. I have a long way to go and I embrace that journey…”
-Brown on his journey with “X”:
“Making X, I found myself on the path to finding out who I am…”
-Brown on the meaning of “X”:
“X refers to who I am as a 24 year old person trying to grow up.”
-Brown on the sound of “X”:
“I tried to stay away from the euro pop beats. This record pays homage to the sounds of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Sam Cooke.”
