New Song: Chris Brown – ‘Calypso’

Written by Trent | Filed under Chris Brown

Chris Brown's 'Calypso' single cover.

Chris Brown has released the full version of ‘Calypso’. Produced by Polow Da Don, the track serves as a special iTunes promotional single and won’t appear on Brown’s upcoming ‘Fortune’ album, which hits stores on July 3rd.

So, did Brown channel the sounds of the West Indies for ‘Calypso’ or it just another catchy R&b cut? Find out by listening to the song below:

As someone who was born in the country where Calypso originated – Trinidad & Tobago – I was hoping to hear Brown experiment with the sounds of that music. Still, this ‘Calypso’ song is a solid effort and could have been a very strong single for his ‘Fortune’ album. The best of the song? Brown was singing and allowing his range to shine through!
