In a recent interview with VIBE Magazine, Soulja Boy spoke about his influences for his upcoming album, and some new tracks, including one called Hey Cutie which features our very own Chris Brown and his close friend Trey Songz.

Word is you have a record with Trey Songz.

Yeah, we just added Chris Brown on there, that’s going to be a hit. That’s going to be an R&B smash. It’s called “Hey Cutie.” My whole vision is I’m looking at the game and there ain’t no groups. I was like, “Yo, put Chris on the record and let’s do a group for this single and make all the ladies go crazy.”

Read the rest of his interview here.

A dazzling dancing display from US singer Chris Brown at the Catherine Hall venue in Montego Bay had groupies glued to the front of the stage, screaming and tearing out their hair, fervently hoping for the slightest hint of acknowledgement of their presence.

And the heavily-tatooed Chris Brown played them to the hilt –just as he did the entire Catherine Hall, stretching out to touch their clawing hands, but not quite meeting the target, gyrating his ever-so-athletic body, somersaulting, defying gravity, making pulsating pronouncements while grabbing his crotch. And he also did his songs, live and direct but coupled with heavy lip-syncing which he made absolutely no attempt to hide. Brown delivered a package whose entertainment quotient was undeniable, despite being so heavily dance driven.

High on energy and with youth in his favour, the 21-year-old Brown, whose career had taken a battering when his physical abuse of then girlfriend, pop princess Rihanna was made public in 2009, was a dynamo. Armed with his four equally talented male dancers, a drummer and a selector he delivered a tight, well-orchestrated set in which he made sure to incorporate Jamaican culture.

Casually attired in a pair of khaki shorts, open-front shirt covering his merino, a baseball cap with a red bandana handkerchief hanging loosely from his back pocket, Brown launched his set with Wall to Wall, starting off a mad frenzy which crescendoed as he reeled off other biggies from his repertoire including Gimme Dat, Run It, Say Yow, Brown Skin Girl, and With You. His forwards were huge and when he paid tribute to dancehall by performing tunes like Kartel’s Clarks and showed his knowlegdge of the lingua and the dance moves he had it totally made with the Jamaican audience.

At the end of his hour-long performance on stage there was an exodus from the mud-splattered venue, on a night which failed to lure the usual Friday night high attendance. No doubt the rain during the day played a role in the low turnout on International Night One, but that dd not stop the artistes from delivering great performances.

Anyone familiar with Chris Brown knows him as a singer and gifted dancer, but what some may not know is he’s blossoming into quite the songwriter.

The R&B star has co-penned many of his own hit singles, including the international smash “Forever,” and wrote his ex-girlfriend Rihanna’s No. 1 single, “Disturbia.”

Hit-making songwriter Rico Love, who’s penned tunes for Brown, Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Diddy, and Usher, thinks Breezy is a wordsmith to watch out for. “He’s one of the dopest singer/songwriters that I’ve [seen],” Love told NeonLimelight.com in a phone interview yesterday (July 8). “He’s just realizing how dope his pen is. It’s amazing to me.”

Love noted songwriting is a talent Brown has always wanted to showcase, but has only recently begun pushing it to the forefront as he’s developed.

“I remember on his first album when he was 15 years old he was writing, but he just kept on developing and becoming better and getting more innovative and coming up with bigger and better ideas. I’ve seen his progress and it’s amazing.”

Another area where Brown seems to be making progress is winning back supporters after a tumultuous year. His emotional tribute to Michael Jackson in which he broke down in tears while trying to sing “Man In The Mirror” at this year’s BET Awards has been viewed as a turning point to many critics.

Love, who co-wrote “Lucky Me” on Brown’s last album, Graffiti, says Breezy played some new songs he’s written for him when they were in a Los Angeles studio together yesterday morning. While he doesn’t know for sure if those songs were for a new album, Love thinks Brown should focus on “writing hit records” and pass on making any more apology songs — “Unless he wants to,” he said.
