Chris Brown featuring Eva Simons - Pass Out

[groovy]

During a recent playback of his comeback effort ‘Graffiti’ for MTV, Chris Brown confirmed that the Eva Simons-assisted ‘Pass Out’ will serve as the LP’s next single along with ‘Sing Like Me’.

While ‘Pass Out’ will be serviced to Pop radio and TV stations, ‘Sing Like Me’ (the album’s standout cut IMO) will receive the Urban treatment.

Major props to whoever is selecting Chris’ singles for this project, as each decision made has been logical, well-thought out and all round the best possible pick IMO. An interesting observation, as I can name countless album’s which have faltered, despite having some great material, due to crappy single choices.

SMASH SMASH SMASH...I called it in the album thread and i'm calling it here. I want a creepy like dance video which i'm sure they will both give!

[Mike]

I can't believe he even recorded this song lol. It's awful. And Eva Simons literally sounds like a computer on this.

[rellybois]

I thought this was supposed to be called "Follow Me"?

At any rate, if this doesn't smash, then nothing from Chris Brown ever will again. Forever Pt. 2 (ok its really just a remake, sounds exactly like same)

[Minor Scratch]

Bad. Just bad. Forever runs laps around this.

[Sir Benji]

this is HOT! but i like I.Y.A. better but this should do. It's the most dance/pop leaning track he's ever done this is like "Forever" on crack

[gin]

If his last two singles couldn't do anything I don't see how this will.

[peters]

if this smashes i'll never get why the eric prydu track was flat out ignored by the american public.

i do like the song though. :)

[Good-Boy-Gone-Bad]

The sample could have been used a lot better. :/

ICTY did pretty well it went Top 20 on the Hot 100, Top 15 Urb/Rhy & Top 50 Pop. are you referring to it's overall performance or it's performance at Pop radio? and "Crawl" just went for adds at Rhythmic this week it hasn't been sent for Pop adds so i don't think this song will be released until the spring depending on how "Crawl" does.

[gin]

I was just referring to pop radio. I think he's done on pop.

[EPG]

This song is awesome! Hope it's a hit.

[rellybois]

It's a little odd that both Chris Brown and Rihanna have gone to Urban as their core format this era. I guess that's what a felony conviction does for your career.

[Adonis the DemiGod!]

I didn't know Rihanna had a felony conviction. *sigh* Chris Brown started out as Urban. He wasn't going anything. He was already there.

This song sounds like Good Girls Go Bad just it's not as good.

[Live Your Life]

This is overrated, and I'm starting to think that people like ANYTHING with a trace of a Euro/Dance beat these days.

I'd prefer "I.Y.A." if he were going this route.

[Deano91]

YES! so happy this song is next!

Oh lighten up

[onefrayedrepublic]

Has Mr. Brown's career Pass(ed) Out?

[Hefty Hanna]

Love this song. I'm actually quite liking what I'm hearing this go around. It's a shame that it's being overlooked because of people's obvious bias against him. I haven't heard the album, but a 42 on metacritic is pretty damn harsh.

[gin]

It doesn't look like Chris will be able to land another hit. His material this time just didn't pack that necessary punch. It would have been difficult for him to beat his previous work anyways. With the 15th coming up, he needs to start focusing on a strong physical release. But with the current bruised and battered economy, consumers are going to abuse illegal downloading tactics. I hope this untimely release doesn't leave bite marks in his career.

[rfucom]

Crawl is quiet awesome.

[Brazilian Guy]

Obvious bias??? LOL.
