Chris Brown - Yeah 3x

We all know what happened. Chris Brown assaulted his former girlfriend Rihanna and his career underwent a massive downward spiral. His last album, Graffiti, only sold 316,000 copies in the U.S as a result of what he did to Rihanna. He is still on the road to recovering that fame and success that he had before. He recently released Yeah 3X, the lead single off his forthcoming F.A.M.E (Forgiving All My Enemies) album.

Some pop musicians have relied on one formula to attain chart success. This formula is to turn a pop song into pop/techno hybrid of sorts with synthesizers pumping up the volume of the track released by the musician – waiting to be quickly accepted by the mainstream market. This is the formula used by Brown in Yeah 3X. His vocals still dominate over the synthesizer-heavy instrumentation. This might put Brown back into prominence but this new single of his sounds just like the recent material by Usher, Jason Derulo, and basically everyone who has had a collaboration with David Guetta.

This is a radio-friendly track but I think I really need a break from hearing all tracks that rely so heavily on synthesizers. It is the trend lately and I guess I just have to get used to it.
