Chris Brown announces his ‘X’ album release date.

Chris Brown certainly has matured into quite a clever artist during the last few months. Proving that he’s finally thinking with the head on his shoulders instead of the one between his legs, the entertainer has announced the release date of his X album via a very inventive avenue – by bundling the information with a new song.

“I Can’t Win” won’t appear on X but Brown refused to let the track go to waste. So, he shared it with his fans and attached the July 16th release date of his album, which will feature contributions by Diplo, Danja, Eric Bellinger, RoccStar and PK. The record is preceded by the hit Urban radio single, “Fine China”.

Listen to Brown’s “I Can’t Win” below and brace yourself for a very busy summer season including releases by Mariah Carey, Kelly Rowland, Jennifer Lopez, Ciara, Ashanti and several others:
