Chris Brown is celebrating his 37th birthday by announcing the stacked list of features on his upcoming album.
On Tuesday, May 5, the Grammy Award-winning singer revealed the star-studded guest list for his 12th studio LP, Brown. He shared a teaser, set in the 1960s, that promised "a night of soul, R&B and timeless classics." Brown appears as the main headliner, followed by opening acts Leon Thomas, Tank, Vybz Kartel, Bryson Tiller, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, GloRilla, Fridayy, Sexyy Red, and Lucky Daye. The teaser indicates the next phase of Chris Brown's album rollout as he continues to highlight impactful trends in R&B over the years.
Chris Brown first traveled back in time last month when he revealed the cover art for his upcoming album. He appears in a light brown suit while lying sideways, as many iconic R&B artists before him had done for the covers of their classic albums, from Michael Jackson to Teddy Pendergrass. He went further back into time for the official music video of "Fallin'" featuring Leon Thomas. Brown and his group, The Midnight Saints, which consists of Thomas, Tank, and RoccStar, travel to Raymond's Juke Joint in Virginia, owned by Usher Raymond, to perform the bluesy hit for a packed crowd.
Fans can expect to see Breezy perform the song in real life during his "R&B Tour" with Usher. The duo will hit the road this fall for a 33-city trek around the U.S., where they'll perform their classics and new music from their recent projects. Brown and Raymond's tour kicks off June 26 in Denver, Co.
Chris Brown's 12th album, Brown, drops this Friday, May 8.
