“Summer Too Hot” was released June 23 via Chris Brown Entertainment / RCA Records. It’s the lead single from Brown’s upcoming 11th album, 11:11, tentatively out Nov. 11.
In August, Brown released the official video for “Summer Too Hot.” The dance-heavy visual “is an ode to a passionate summer in Los Angeles where he (Chris) is continuing to level up and find his groove, while also acknowledging the people (his dancers) who have led him to where he is,” according to press materials.
Circling back to 11:11, Brown confirmed the album will contain only 11 tracks.
“I see Some of my die hard fans wanting me to add more songs for the new project and I love y’all for that. But, I just feel I need you all to really miss me and take my art seriously. IM JUST focused on giving y’all the best to digest. 11:11 make a wish,” he wrote on Instagram.
11:11 is the follow-up to Brown’s tenth studio album, Breezy. The deluxe edition of the album was nominated for Best R&B Album at the 65th Grammy Awards, while the original was among Rated R&B’s 30 Best R&B Albums of 2022 list.
Solo music aside, Brown recently collaborated with Ciara (“How We Roll“), Ty Dolla $ign (“Motion [Remix]“), Fridayy (“Don’t Give It Away“) and Tee Grizzley and Mariah the Scientist (“IDGAF“).
