Graffiti (Expanded Edition)

Chris Brown’s third album finds the R&B star sliding into new genres like they’re silk pajamas. Tracks like “I Can Transform Ya” and “Wait” offer a futuristic shock of sci-fi beats and crunk grooves that sound like they were crafted by a cyborg, while Europop number “Pass Out” bangs hard enough to shake continents. On the other end of the spectrum, there's “So Cold,” a piano-led power ballad that strips away the extra layers to spotlight Brown’s soulful voice.
