Chris Brown has been hard at work on the followup to the his Grammy Award-winning ‘F.A.M.E.’ album and now, after months of recording and promotion, the record is finally ready for release. However, fans will have to wait another two months before they could purchase the ‘Fortune’.

Along with the unveiling of the ‘Fortune’ album cover, Brown announced that the LP won’t hit stores until May 8th. The record is preceded by the singles ‘Strip (Ft. Kevin McCall)’ and ‘Turn Up the Music’. Of course, the remix of the latter tune, which features Brown’s ex-girlfriend Rihanna, has generated more buzz the its predecessors.

Thus far, Brown has promoted ‘Fortune’ with performances at the 2012 NBA All-Star Game and the 2012 Grammy Awards. He is expected to intensify his efforts to plug the record during the coming months.
