A warm embrace is exactly what Chris Brown‘s latest album ‘Breezy’ received upon its June 24 release.

Shining with a star-studded guest list of features including the likes of Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Lil Wayne, H.E.R., Wizkid, Ella Mai, Tory Lanez, Bryson Tiller, and many more, the 24-track affair came as the singer’s first solo studio album since topping the Billboard 200 with 2019’s ‘Indigo.’

Like its predecessor, the jam-packed LP was greeted with overall favorable reviews from fans and critics alike.  Unlike ‘Indigo,’ ‘Breezy’ entered the chart race as Brown’s first album to lack a Hot 100 top 40 hit to its credit.  The lack of buzz would later be reflected in the 60,000-70,000 units the project was initially predicted to shift by the end of its inaugural tracking week.

Among the 23 tunes set to line the tracklist of Chris Brown‘s forthcoming studio album ‘Breezy’ (due June 24), the previously teased ‘Call Me Every Day’ may easily be the most anticipated.

Featuring international superstar Wizkid, the slow-burning groove boasts an instrumental soaked in Afrobeats flair while its lyrics bespeak of gentlemen encouraging their respective love interests to leave the one she’s with to start a new relationship with him.

“Oh, I feel, dey call you every day / When you call, run it back on replay / For your love, I go play on / For your love, I go play on, play,” the two croon on the Tunez-produced cut.
