Exclusive is the second album by Chris Brown, the young R&B singer who set a record at the age of sixteen with his single Run It! in first place in the US single chart. The song also became quite a hit in the Netherlands, but the hordes of screaming teenage girls that Brown got behind in the US were not there. On his self-titled debut, Chris Brown was primarily one of the many emerging R&B
… artists who tried to storm the charts following Usher's footsteps, and Exclusive is no different. Leaning heavily on the production, Brown has to hide the fact that he still lacks a sound of his own. Sometimes, however, the comparisons are very clear: With You is almost a straight copy of BeyoncĂ©'s Irreplaceable. Of course Chris Brown has also invited the necessary big names, this time including Will.i.am, Big Boi (Outkast), The Game and Kanye West. This 'deluxe version' of Exclusive has a number of bonus tracks and an extra DVD with video clips including 'making of' and behind the scenes footage. (IV)more
