All singing, all dancing .... CB!
Those of you who are regular readers will know I occasionally comment on what is getting “most played” on my iPod/iPhone. And this week it’s Chris Brown!
Yes, yes, I know, the guy is very popular with pre-pubescent members of the opposite sex, however, the boy done good with his producers too….
The Album I refer too as regards his recent musical efforts is called “Exclusive: Forever edition” – and here’s the thing – there’s a really nice mix of ballads AND club bangers – quite a rare combination these days. It sounds like the production duties have been taken on by a selection of producers, which can sometimes be a good or bad thing – in this case it worked out well, and has left us with some stonking tracks in ’08:
Kiss Kiss (club banger)
Wall to Wall (club banger)
Forever (club banger)
With you (ballad-tastic)
Superhuman (ballad-tastic)
… and these are just the ones that have had single releases! There is plenty of other good stuff on there, and if this isn’t your usual kind-a-music, I’d heartily recommend it to check out something that might be a lot better than your preconceptions might suggest!
The boy can dance, sing, and has Rihanna as a girlfriend (alledgedly) – darn……..!
About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

Loving ‘Forever’, one of the best songs of the year – always puts a smile on my face!
It’s funny how some songs can really lift your spirits…
