R&B singer Chris Brown has fired back at a scathing review of his new album, 'Brown', which was published by American music website Pitchfork. The review, written by critic Stacey Anderson, described the album as a 'piece of s***', sparking a heated response from the singer on social media.
Anderson's review highlighted Chris Brown's decision to experiment with new sounds and production, which the critic felt had resulted in a disjointed and unlistenable album. Brown took to Twitter to defend his work, stating that 'haters' would always exist but that he was 'proud' of his latest effort.
The album 'Brown' was released on 13 January and is available to stream in the UK on various platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.
Chris Brown has been open about his desire to push the boundaries of his sound, having previously collaborated with artists such as Drake and Young Thug. However, his latest album has been met with mixed reviews from critics, with some praising his experimental approach and others criticising its lack of cohesion.
As one of the most successful R&B artists of the past two decades, Chris Brown's music has been a staple of UK airwaves. The singer has won numerous awards for his work, including a Grammy nomination in 2006 for his album 'Chris Brown'.
