Chris Brown: Aaliyah to Collaborate on Next Single
Chris Brown, whose new album embodies a "classic essence of R&B and soul with the new age of music now," will collaborate with Aaliyah on his next single.
Wonder how she would feel about that if she were alive.
They Don't Know" contains previously unheard vocals from the late singer, and Brown shot a music video for the song in Los Angeles last weekend.
"I shot it in the hood. I went to 60th Street and Cedar Block," Brown said.
"[I'm] bringing worlds together and trying to uplift the poverty side of the community and show them where I'm from. I'm from Virginia, but everybody comes from a broken home or being broke."
"I remember when I was."
"They Don't Know" will be on CB's upcoming album, X, due out July 16. It'll feature guests like Nicki Minaj and Kendrick Lamar, among others.
"Making X, I found out who I am," Brown said in March. "This album has a lot of substance, from the subject matter and the situations to how it deals with love."
"It's really derived from personal experiences," the ex-boyfriend of Rihanna and rival of Drake said. "Then again, I always like mixing reality with art."
Speaking of Aaliyah and Drake, the Canadian rapper is working on his own Aaliyah album and has already posted a track called "Enough Said."
Aaliyah died in a 2001 plane crash in the Bahamas.
