Chris Brown is officially in a new era of music. The R&B star is gearing up to release his 11th album via RCA Records.
Brown’s forthcoming album will follow his 2022 effort, Breezy. The album debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart. Breezy (Deluxe) earned Brown a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album at the 65th Grammy Awards.
Breezy included Brown’s RIAA gold-certified single “Call Me Every Day” featuring Wizkid.
