Chris Brown [Content/Copy-Protected CD]

Product Description
He's a lot like the 16-year-old boy living in the house next door to you: one minute he's five-foot-seven, the next he's 6'1. One minute he's a cute little boy trying to dribble a basketball, the next a superstar point guard. One minute he's ducking under the covers pleading for five more minutes of shut-eye, the next he's racing through a day full of recording, performances and interviews. With his easy-going demeanor and schoolboy charm, Chris Brown could easily be somebody that you know. With his incredible voice and a debut cd laced with clever lyrics, hypnotic tracks and impeccable vocals, he's someone that the world will soon know. Chris isn't part of some A-list producer's camp. Nor does he hail from any of those famous urban music hubs like NYC, Compton or the ATL. Straight from Tappahannock, VA --- population 2000 -- Chris Brown proves that real talent, persistence and charisma still have a place in the music industry. One listen to Chris' 16-year-old voice and you're tempted to draw comparisons: Michael Jackson, Tevin Campbell, and Usher. But listen a bit longer and those comparisons begin to dissipate as it becomes clear that, while Chris certainly channels the creativity of those who have come before him, he definitely has a style, a flavor and a place in music that are all his own. His debut CD Young Love takes us on a journey through the malls, parties and teen hangouts as Chris covers a variety of subjects: A girl that he's dying to hit the dance floor with. A girl that's got another man. A girl that has him totally and completely head over heels in love. It's an album about young boys, young girls -- Young Love. In selecting songs for Young Love, Chris said he simply relied on his own sense of what was hot and what was real for him and his peers. "When I hear these songs, I feel something. I know I can relate to them. I take myself out of the artist box and I become an audience member and I critique myself." Chris got his musical initiation early on, inspired by what he refers to as the "eclectic" taste of his parents and soaking in the sounds of his favorites: Michael Jackson, Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, Donnie Hathaway, Anita Baker, and Aretha Franklin. But, like most young boys, Chris was soon drawn to rap and was certain that he would be the first emcee to put Tappahannock on the map. "I was rapping," he recalls. "I didn't understand that I could sing until I was like 11 or 12. My mom heard me singing around the house and she said, 'What are you doing? You really can sing!' So then I started going to school and singing to the girls." By the time he was 13, Chris realized that his voice was more than just a chick magnet. And so did his mother as he began to hook his son up with various producers. "When I went in and started working, there were ups and downs but I loved it and I knew I wanted to do it for the rest of my life." Chris may still be a lot like the boy who lives next door to you. But not really. You'll see.

AGE AINT NOTHING BUT A NUMBER !.......2007-07-09

There is a new star in town and all male R&B singers need to be on the look out for this newcomer who has been taking the music industry by storm.
His name is Chris Brown and already, he's being smashing up the charts with his single "Run It" featuring Juelz Santana of the RocaFella Label.
He may be only 16 years of age, but his vocal flow and dancing moves is out of this world. His signature style has already being compared to that of Grammy winners like Usher and Justin Timberlake.
Being the newest member on Jive Records, this Virginia native had the opportunity to work with producer Scott Storch, who helped him in recording more than fourteen tracks for his debut self titled album "Chris Brown."
Brown opens his album by first paying homage to his native state, followed by his smashing hit "Run It", where he sings about challenging female dancers to see if they can run the dance floor without their man(s) on their side like he does. /Is ya man on the flo? / If he ain't ----/ let me know/ let me see if you can run it run/ girl indeed I can run it run it/.
"Run It" is followed by his third track "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)" which people already are speculating to be his next single from the album. On this track, he harmonically sing his way in expectation of getting a young lady's attention across a room in a night club. /I don't know your name but excuse me miss/ I saw you from across the room/ and I got to admit that you got my attention/ you are making me want to say yo/.
"Gimme That" is another hot song on the album. The tempo of the song is very fast with its blend of ballads and has that ability to move the most timid person to stomp their feet or bump their heads to its sound woofing beat.
Being that, this is his first album, Brown collaborated with a mix of veteran artists like Noah, Jermaine Dupri and Bow Wow to help spice up his album.
Brown may be a teenager but his album is already attracting worldwide music lovers of all ages. The beats are very catchy and the lyrics contain no profanity making it a perfect album for any family. The album has very creative titles, like titles that have already being used by other artists and has being known to be a hit, like Jay-z's "Excuse Me Miss" and this album's "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)".
Although the thought of a Grammy nomination for "Best New Artist" may sound too early at this point, the album sounds promising; at the rate its first single has being jumping up the Billboard chart into being number one for the fourth consecutive week.
The recording is available in a conventional CD format and its available in all music stores.

Chris Brown, a force to be reckoned with.......2007-06-08

This CD was the bomb! For a 16 year old his music is worth listening to. I was afraid it would be too bubble gum but any adult could and will enjoy this CD. There's no doubt that we're gonna hear a lot from him. Can't wait for his next CD.

I loved this album!For a 16-year old this is very impressive! My favorite songs on this album are the club hit RunIt!,of course, Young love, Gimme that remix, and just fine being my most favorite song on the album.

The Future Of R&B He Ain't, But He Definitely Has Skills.......2007-03-10

Chris Brown's self-titled album is something that kinda slipped by me last year. He had a few hits but I think Jive spent a lot of time marketing the singles and not the album. The songs were just decent on the radio and I really didn't care to pick up the album until my iTunes playlist started to play "Gimme That" and just thought "I wonder how good his album would be?" Now I'm kinda perplexed by some of these earlier reviews. I scrolled through a good amount of them and seem to be ridiculously mixed. A ton of 5 star reviews saying he's the future of R&B (that's definitely not true) and one star reviews that just hate that he sounds even 10% of Usher. (I only thought "Run It!" sounded like Usher). Anyhow, I decided to try Chris Brown's CD. He's definitely got a good voice on him, and this album is slickly produced and has a good 90s R&B feel with a few scattered club bangers. The only actual issue are the lyrics, which can get very cheesy at times. But that put aside, this is a decent male R&B CD that doesn't try too hard but still has enough tracks going for it.

Although this is an R&B album, I actually found Chris doing better on the up-tempo songs. Yes, "Run It!" (regardless of the amount of people wanting to admit it) sounds very much like Usher's "Yeah!", but that's not to say it's undeniably catchy with its hook "Let me see if you can run it, run it" and a needed Juelz Santana rap line (although some versions of the song don't have the rap?). Back in '05 this song was huge and I was sure loving it for the time it was big. But the other (yes the other) single "Gimme That", in my opinion, is possibly the best song on the album. The beat is absoultely and insanely catchy and hits the bass hard, and has a fun hook line, Even if the lyrics can get monotonous when Chris starts to talk about how much money he has, its production and Chris's rapping flows so well. Other decent up-tempo songs include "What's My Name", a decent song and it's without a doubt that it sounds a lot like some songs from Usher's Confessions (the dreaded comparison, but it is true). It's a bit more uptempo and is nicely jazzed up. There's nothing special about the song--but it sure is relieving after "Winner". Also "Is This Love" scores as a bit more hard-hitting with the bass drums (reminds me of a slower version of Will Smith's "Switch") than the other songs and seems to take a techno-ish vibe; which isn't necessary a bad thing. The lyrics are pretty average fair--Chris is pretty much asking himself love questions which gets boring after repetitive listening, but its at least tolerable.

Chris also has a lot of very solid R&B on the disc. The hit song "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)" being an obvious standout, with thumpin-hitting beats and a laid back sound. Chris's vocals are good here, and has decent lyrics which follow a story where Chris spots a lady and sings the title. "Young Love" is proven to be a good slice of jazzed up R&B; nicely produced with (I don't want to say this but must) Stevie Wonder feel to it. The lyrics lean toward the cheesy side a bit ("We ain't 21, this is young love", someone called Kraft on me) but Brown's voice is like always, soothing and layers completely flat on the tracks. Also "Just Fine" is a solid mid-tempo, soothing R&B song with a guitar instrumental to make it a bit more full, and still leans on the 70's sound. The lyrics are actually okay, and although Chris Brown starts rapping a bit, he actually doesn't sound bad (Akon another story). And Chris's "Thank You" to the Lord isn't bad, but it's nothing amazing and does not help nor hurt the album.

However, the album is definitely not without some questionable tracks. "Ya Man Ain't Me" is one of the filler tracks to my ears. The production is decent and kinda gives you the vibe of Ciara's "Other Chicks", but the lyrics are completely lame. ("I want you to see just how much your man ain't me"...what???) Chris's voice also sounds a bit odd, as if he were uncomfortable on the track and sings off-key occassionally. "Winner" gets even worse and could possibly be the album's worst offender. Somehow Chris's girlfriend is winning as if she won a car race. Honestly, can you get any lower than that? (Maybe Christina Milian could) And it even makes things more confusing when he can't decide if his girlfriend has won (in past tense) or is going to win (future tense), or if he's using them both chronologically throughout the song. "Poppin" absoultely sucks. Flat out. Chris Brown is actually more annoying instead of the lyrics--he starts to yell the last word of the line ("We gonna get CRUNK!"). It works well in Lil' Jon's "Get Low" but not so much the slowest song on the disc. Not to mention when he is singing, for some reason it sounds like he isn't even trying. And "Say Goodbye" is boring, with a looping and incomplete sounding production. Chris Brown's singing can't even save the cheesy lyrics "There's never a right time to say goodbye."

Overall, Chris Brown's self-titled is a good CD and very decent for a debut. Chris has got a good voice, a great production team, and an overall above average CD with few bad tracks. No, its no where near the future of R&B, but this is good for what its worth and should stand some time before something huge hits the earth. 4 stars.

Album Description

Simplified features both stripped-down versions of Simply Red's classic songs and fresh recordorm some material with only a piano as accompaniment. "What struck me when I listened back to the performance was just how much the song leapt out at you in those circumstances," he says. Classic Simply Red songs such as "Something Got Me Started," "Sad Old Red," "Smile," and "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" are reinvigorated thanks to these sophisticated, even jazzy, new arrangements. One of the group's most popular hits, "Holding Back The Years," is beautiful and still lush; recognizable, but with an added timeless maturity. Other songs featured on Simplified include "More," "Your Mirror," "Fairground," and "For Your Babies."

The lead-off track and first single from Simplified is the irresistible, upbeat, and distinctly Latin-flavored "Perfect Love." The Cuban vibe of this sensual new song is amplified by the vocals of Havana-based singer Danae. A Latin feeling runs throughout Simplified, inspired by the band's recent visit to Cuba. In fact, Simply Red is the first English pop band to have played in Havana, as they appeared at the landmark Gran Teatro early in 2005.

Simplified is the follow-up to 2003's highly successful Home, which sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide. That release helped push the band to a level of over 50 million albums sold since forming 21 years ago. Although Simply Red's lineup of musicians has rotated throughout the years, the one constant has been Mick Hucknall, one of the finest male vocalists Britain has ever produced, and also one of its most accomplished, melodic, and prolific pop songwriters.

What A Treat To Have Made This Album.......2007-05-18

Stripped down jazzy slower versions of old songs from The SImply Red catalog. Fans LOVE things like this, I LOVE this album, perfect for a rainy day alone with some songs that are like old friends. But older, wiser, mature, just wonderful. I Simply LOVE the stripped and simplified version of "Fairground", I love the orginial dearly...the sad slow melody over the Goodmen's drumming. But here it is sung as a ballad. This could have been an old standard that someone like Ella Fitzgerlad would have sung. can't say enough good things aabout this album, it is called "Simplified", but should be called "Timeless". This is the Greatest Hits for the fans, hits ethought. Again, rain falling outside makes this even better. Then again, we are all SR fans here, give it a try.

Great!!.......2007-03-26

The music has a variation of sounds and themes extremely diverse and exciting. This is a great CD -a fan can certainly appreciate the voice and themes, a new listener will turn into a fanatic right after this.
Excellent choice.

Wonderful Album.......2007-01-22

If you love Mick Hucknall's voice as much as I do you'll be glad you bought this album. He does some of his old songs in a slightly different way which is so interesting, and the new songs are wonderful. Simply Red is simply great!

Simplified and stripped down.......2006-09-06

Simply Red goes easy listening on this album. Every track is either a re-recording or the original master minus percussion. We hear a piano plus a string ensemble on many of these tracks. This is an ideal album for easy listening music fans,especially senior citizens who can't stand the sound of hard rock or heavy metal. Marty Balin clone Mick Hucknall,the band's frontman gives fans a nice collection of hit songs in subtle form.

Hucknel just doesn't stop.......2006-05-27

Simplified brings some new along with old favorites. Simply Red "smoothed" out old classics. The new material is just as good as the 20 year old tunes. A must for any Simply Red fan. And a cd that new listeners will enjoy.

The tale of a mother who poses as her son's estranged father in letters, yet eventually has to enlist a stranger to play the role, director Shona Auerbach's intimate indie became a film festival perennial. Given the movie's tearjerker tendencies, its musical score becomes an even more crucial component of its deft, if relatively non-manipulative dramaturgy. Young composer Alex Heffes more than rises to the occasion, providing a delicate score fueled by spare, elegant piano and emotionally-longing string arrangements. Heffes work here mines the same intimately scaled, soulfully resonant vein as Rachel Portman's Oscar-nominated music for Lasse Hallstrom's Ciderhouse Rules and Chocolat, a skillful musical tack that's openly emotional, yet seldom cloying. The contributions of modern rockers Clarksville (the buoyant "Everyone Will Have Their Day" and more intimate ballad "Reprise") and singer-songwriters Obi and Jesse Harris organically mesh with Heffes' score in a way that's all to rare in an era where pop songs often contribute little more than marketing shuck to film projects. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

Uhhh... It's Ok..........2007-05-01

I really loved the movie and especially little Frankie. There where three songs that just stuck in my head for weeks, so I bought the CD... unfortunatly out of the three songs, only one was on the CD... I was alittle dissapointed but overall it is a good CD. I really like Jesse Harris. He is the best on the whole CD.

Key songs are missing.......2007-02-21

After watching "Dear Frankie" on cable several times, I decided to buy it and the soundtrack album. I did not read the detailed list of songs before buying. Although the soundtrack is good for what it is, I was disappointed that the song "Delicate" by Damien Rice was not included. Nor was the song about the "white horse" that was sung twice during the movie, once by Lizzie and once by the club singer. It would have been nice also to have the "Macarena" song which was in the movie.

Nice mix of score and soundtrack.......2007-02-07

This album is nice because it has all the score music along with all the other music played in the movie on one CD. The "Dear Frankie Main Title" is especially nice to have. I bought this CD for my sister for Christmas, but now the whole family wants to listen to it. I would recommend it for anyone that liked the movie!

Beautiful, sensitive, sad and hopeful. .......2007-01-21

I stumbled upon this quiet little movie and feel like I've discovered a wonderful jewel. I was immediately enamored by the soundtrack and worked hard to purchase it right away. The music along with a few dialogue excerpts communicate much of the emotion and power of the movie. There's one song that was, regrettably, not on the soundtrack but I recommend be added to the CD or your collection: Damien Rice, "Delicate" from the "O" album. The music communicates such a sense of loss and longing while maintaining just enough of a glimmer of hope that you end up feeling alright.

It's a wonderful soundtrack and definitely worth the purchase.

Dear Frankie- CD.......2007-01-09

I liked the music in the movie so much that I bought the CD and was not disappointed at all. It's wonderful and I listen to it constantly.

In Need Of Parental Supervision.......2006-09-10

This would be a fairly good album by today's standards from a very talented young man, were it not poisoned by one thing; this young 16 going on 25-year-old's potty mouth.

I could not be less impressed by 99.99% of swearing in one SINGLE SONG! Where in the Sam Hill was his mother when he was recording it? Is she proud?

Call me 25 going on 90 if you wish, but I think it's unacceptable for this boy to be releasing records like that, and grinding on young girls in videos at his age. I'm not stupid, I'm fully aware that there are kids WITH kids younger than him - but that doesn't mean it should be encouraged or condoned. My views might be out of the ordinary but I firmly believe that musical culture - and the media in general - need to quit stamping out the rite of passage that is childhood and reinforcing the notion that it's okay for babies to go from the womb to the bedroom, not necessarily stopping off for birth control en route.

Anywhoo the point is his foul-mouthed, much-too-adult, behaviour spoiled this generally good album for me. It would have been more than enjoyable for an adult offering.

Real R&B singers needed.......2006-04-29

(Yes, like the flyer says at Bobby Valentino's debut album)
Lloyd and Ray J, you'd better WATCH OUT! (Specially you Lloyd), because Chris Brown has came to stay and stronger than you! hahahahaha!.
I love his voice, it sounds like a mix between Michael Jackson and Usher and he's a real singer. (These kinda singers are fewer everytime) This album has shown the world that he's pure voice and it has everything he's made of.
He's not the future of R&B, but he's helping to save it.
You have to buy this album, if you'd like to listen to a more-real R&B.

SO GLAD* +5/5
Import bonus track. Samples The Jackson5's "It's great to be there", but in a different way.
THANK YOU 3/5
A closing song for this adventure, it has a cool message, but it bores me.

Please note that for this edition the only differences are the cover photo and the bonus track, this is a collector's item. You can watch also for the CD/DVD Combo. (Same as DualDisc)

SIMPLY THE BEST.......2001-12-28

Have been fortunate to attend 2 Chris Brubeck concerts and have been a big fan ever since. Just need more CD's please.
This recording is simply thrilling. I highly recommend you add it to your collection and tell all your friends. Once you hear his music you are hooked and what a wonderful addiction.
Here's hoping we hear a lot from Chris and his friends.

Bach for More.......2000-08-03

I bought this CD after hearing it on my local NPR station. I relly like the arrangements of Bach's works--not predictable--and I was certain that I was listening to a Bach orchestration at the time.

A real added treat to this CD are the compositions of Chris Brubeck. This guy can really write for orchestra. His bass trombone concerto has the gusto of a Bernstein Overture. Also his arrangement of Dave Brubeck's "Blue Rondo" is incredible. Bach to Brubeck certainly makes the case for an enjoyable listening experience. I have turned 5 of my friends on to this CD already.

Brubeck: Bass Trombone Concerto, etc/Brubeck, Crofut,et al.......2000-03-31

This CD shows that the musical talent of Dave Brubeck continues on to the next generation. This CD has a wonderful mix of classical Bach, beautifully played by the London Symphony Orchestra Bill Crofut, Joel Brown, & Chris Bruebeck, and an eclectic mix of modern American music.

The arrangements of the traditional Bach pieces by Chris Brubeck are wonderfully done. The beautiful guitar playing by Joel Brown brings a new element to this classic music.

Finally there is a Concerto for one of my favorite instruments! The Concerto for Bass Trombone is a unique and wonderfully new and differnt piece of classical music. The masterful playing by Chris Brubeck spotlights his talent not only as a composer but as a gifted musician.

This CD will take you from the glories of Bach to the new and exciting music being made by the 2nd generation of Brubecks.

We think this grooves!.......2000-03-18

The multi-talented Chris Brubeck has really impressed me with this outing. I didn't know Chris before this disc, although I did know Dave, and now I'd like to hear more from Chris! This is a must-have for all classical and jazz fans. The serenity of the Bach arrangements are perfectly orchestrated, and the bass trombone concerto is a masterful composition. And the way the Blue Rondo a la Turk holds back just to open up is frightfully sinister! Buy this one!

Album Description

This NY-born composer began as a classically trained prodigy, but by 1975, Chatham was fusing the overtone-drenched minimalism of John Cale and Tony Conrad with the relentless, elemental fury of The Ramones. It was an inspired amalgamation; the textural intricacies of the avant-garde colliding with the visceral punch of electric guitar-slinging punk rock, and with it Rhys created a new type of urban music. Raucous and ecstatic, this sound energized the downtown NY scene throughout the late '70s and early '80s, prefiguring the No Wave movement, and casting a huge influence over the subsequent work of Glenn Branca and Sonic Youth. This release contains all of Chatham's best work of the period, vividly documenting those glorious years in the life of a city and a milieu in which the raw, the sophisticated, and the danceable merged, and a new era of rock was born. Includes 32-page book (accompanying the CD version), rare photos, plus essays by Chatham, Tony Conrad, and Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo, as well as artwork by famed visual artist Robert Longo. "Blue Oyster Cult and Kiss might've made noises about guitar armies, but it took composer Rhys Chatham to actually deploy one. And there's no other way to say this: it rocks" - Magnet.

incredible electric guitar symphonies..........2006-12-21

Table of the Elements happily reissued the contents of their phenomenal but now out-of-print Rhys Chatham box set on individual CDs this year, so if you missed out on hearing these incredible electric guitar symphonies the first time around, you've got another chance to experience some of the most rockin' avant garde music ever recorded. Forget about Glenn Branca... Rhys Chatham is the real deal. (But buyer beware: Two Gongs is only for die-hard drone-heads...)

i know i'm a little bit older than most of his fans..........2006-09-24

but i heard 'say goodbye' on my car radio and i had to admit, i was dancing to it!! he sings that song so good!!! i went ahead and got his cd to see what it was like and the songs are really nice! he has a great voice, but my fave is say goodbye! that's one of the best songs i've heard all year...

Meh..........2006-08-26

Im not saying he's not a good artist, it's just that...... i don't like it. All of the songs seemed to only entertain girls, and not all females, just the younger ones, e.g, 17 and under. The only songs witrh universal appeal are of course, THE SINGLES. And when i become an R& B singer, i will actually SING ABOUT WHAT KIDS ACTUALLY GO THROUGH. As if every kid loses their virginity. Anyway, i am saying, i have not been in love yet with a girl outside of my family, which is what most of the songs are about. Sorry, but ask yourselves, if he was ugly, would you like him? I don't. His voice sounds like he did not get professional lesons, like i am. Anyway, i gave it two stars b/c this is better than the other crap R & B males AGED under 25 that have came out lately, like Mario, Omarion, his brother, Bobby Valentino, and other people i know i will smoke when i get a deal of my own. I also gave it two stars, since the singles did impress me, SO cliche :( i know. Run It-Overused idea with the booming bass beats like Yeah/Goodies/Freek a Leek/etc. Yo is probably my favorite, his vocals have not drove me crazy on this track, plus, it's one of the qualities im looking for in a CD, originality WHILE being realitively simple at the same time. I really didnt care for Gimme That, it's not something a child should be talking about, since only children who can relate to that should like it. Im honest, i am clean, and focused, and that's why i did not like it. 2 stars. Try John Legend.

A Rising Star...Definitely.......2006-07-21

This CD has not come out of my CD player since I purchased it right after the BET Music Awards Show a few weeks ago. This brother is AWESOME and is truly going places. I couldn't believe that he was only 17 or 18 years old. His future is already big and bright for him...all he has to do is just walk in it. He is truly a GEM..smooth, talented, nice looking, great physique...etc, etc, etc. He really knows how to bring the SOUND. I love the ENTIRE CD and strongly ENCOURAGE any and every one (young and old) to go out and get it today. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSATISFIED!!!

Keep on keeping on CHRIS.

The Future of R&B :-).......2006-06-10

This album is AMAZING! Chris Brown is a great influence to kids his age. He not only discusses the fun life of being a teen he also talks about teenage love. His songs are so intriguing from the upbeat tempos of his songs "Gimme That", "Poppin", and "Run It!" to the soothing flow in his songs "Winner", "Ain't No Way" and "Say Goodbye"! I admire Chris Brown for his talent at such a young age and especially for having come from a small town in Virginia. If you don't have this album you need to make sure you cop that, it's one of the hottest CD's. I know Chris Brown will be doing well in the future and I look forward to his next album!
