THE former prince of pop Chris Brown, who has been vying for a way to revitalise his career following his 2009 assault on ex-girlfriend Rihanna, has resorted to desperate measures to stage his comeback.
The 20-year-old singer-dancer, who plead guilty to felony assault and is on probation for five years, recorded an audio message last week on ‘Say Now’ asking his fans to ‘bring [him] back’. A humbled Brown said he needs his fans’ help. ‘Some radio stations aren’t playing my records,’ he said. ‘They’re not being that supportive and I wouldn’t expect them to. But it’s on the fans … It’s in your power to bring me back.’Brown said he is doing everything he can do. He refers to himself as a ‘better person’ and said he is doing his music for the love, but added that his career is in jeopardy.’It won’t be possible for me to be an artist if I don’t have support from people who give me an artist outlet,’ Brown said. ‘I can’t be an underground mixtape artist.’Brown sounds stressed out. After releasing two previously successful albums, it has got to be tough experiencing such a decline in support for his current album, ‘Graffiti’.Releasing a new album just eight months after the altercation was just too soon. – yahoo.music
