Even if Chris Brown’s had hiccups in his ten-year career, there’s no doubt that he’s released several solid albums, including his latest X. The album is 17 tracks long and includes appearances from almost every big name in mainstream R&B: Usher, Tyga, Lil Wayne, and Trey Songz. “Loyal” is the likely the most recognizable song of the album–a classic Chris Brown hit with danceable beats perfect for the club. Another is “X,” a Diplo-produced song with a catchy hook and chord progressions common in Chris Brown’s music. As consistent as his album are Brown’s performances, where both his singing and dancing are examples of combined raw talent, practice, and experience.
