Although Chris Brown’s ‘Strip (Ft. Kevin McCall)’ continued to gain momentum on radio stations this week, the versatile entertainer has refused to rest on his laurels. In fact, it has been revealed that he already has a new single prepared for release later this month and it will feature none other than hit-maker will.i.am.

‘One of those Nights’ has been announced as the second official single from Brown’s upcoming ‘Fortune’ album, which will hit stores in March. Featuring Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am, the track will impact Top 40/Mainstream radio on January 31st.

Thus far, ‘Strip’ has peaked at #85 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #27 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The tune has been steadily gaining airplay on both the Rhythmic and Urban radio formats where it is currently ranked at #22 and #15, respectively.

Hopefully, ‘One of those Nights’ does not sound similar to every other will.i.am record that has been released in the last three years – thick auto-tune, heavy bass and a pointless verse from will.i.am that includes his digitised voice. Brown is very talented but will.i.am is horribly formulaic and would happily continue to recreate the Black Eyed Peas’ ‘The E.N.D.’ album for the next five years if given the chance.
