Critic Reviews
Show All-
Billboard
Departures from libidinal thoughts are rare here, but “Proof”-like cuts prove Brown can make quality songs
-
The Source
Chris continues to reign as a maker of music that challenges musical convention and speaks his personal truth.
-
Hot New Hip hop
The resulting album shines a spotlight on just how empty the average Brown song is.
-
USA Today
All of these tracks prove that Brown is undeniably talented as a singer, with an ear for memorable hooks and vivid production.
-
Complex
A Directionless Mess
-
Slant
Another marginal, uninspired effort whose release is wedged into the most remote, frosty corner of 2015
-
All Music
That phrase reflects his personality and perhaps his quality control.
-
PPcorn
As a whole and I think it is an incredible album.
-
Ratings Game Music
Too much gimmicky music that seems a bit rushed to me.
-
Stuff
it's a hard sell to anyone who isn't already a fan; but like Liquor and Zero, many tracks will stand alone strongly.
-
The Boombox
In the meantime, the album doesn't accomplish much good outside a few standout tracks.
-
Napster
For all its highs and lows, Royalty doesn’t stem the tide of diminishing returns.
-
Renowned for Sound
Balancing smooth rhythms with a scattering of bouncing club bangers, putting a huge focus on his stellar vocals.
-
Entertainment Focus
He’s an excellent star but this set is sadly just a bit cringeworthy.
-
Revolvy
A convincing bad-guy energy that’s all the more potent for its sweet, often luscious textures
-
Newsday
His mix of aggressiveness and playing victim is a particularly off-putting combination.
-
Parle Magazine
The album is underwhelming where it should otherwise dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s.
-
Brent Music Reviews
Hey, at least the dude is honest. He has NO FILTER whatsoever.
-
Samoa Observer
Chris Brown is multi-dimensional
-
She Blogs Hip Hop
If you’re a CB fan like me then it’s worth listening to, just don’t expect to be amazed.
-
Artistic Manefesto
You are too talented and skilled to settle for making subpar music with no substance
-
Toledo Blade
It’s good, radio friendly pop music that seems as natural to Brown as traditional R&B fare, which he delivers with expertise
-
Las Vegas Weekly
he still manages to churn out endless Auto-Tuned hits
-
Pittsburgh Courier
It’s a feat worth applauding, considering how disparate the multi-dimensional singer’s specialties seem to be.
-
Pop Glitz
His vulnerable side makes a guest appearance on this record as well.
-
BSO
All in all, “Royalty” is a very good project .
-
Laut
Seriously: How so many contributors can hatch such little musical ideas and not a single memorable melody,
-
Hip Hop DX
On Royalty, Chris Brown shows what happens when Peter Pan tries to grow up, but loves turning up in the club even more.
-
Time Out Dubai
While the lyrical heart of this album doesn’t stretch far beyond Chris’ latest nightclub escapades, his ability as a vocalist decidedly shines through on every track
-
Nigerian Entertainment
Mostly an R&B album with fusion of some other genres and a dose of the very common trap music
-
El Broide
The album is another great mix of pop bangers and R&B slow jams.
-
Gulf News
All-in-all, Royalty is a worthwhile collection, proving that in a world where “stay in your lane” is common wisdom
-
Jagwire
I truly enjoyed all the different rhythms in each song. Each was different and contained different meanings.
