At this point in the album, you just about give up on it. And once our ears are well and truly fucked from this back-to-back digital bullshit, we are then given the clap with the song “Stereotype”. Shit Synth on “Came To Do” featuring Akon. And that’s handy ’cause Kelly’s on this track! And as Kelly croons with Brown, the pair seem oblivious to the fact that this whole aural aesthetic is several years, if not a decade and a half too late to sound convincing. But even without the weird synthesiser, this track still sounds like a late-nineties throwback similar to something maybe Ginuwine or err… R. The only reprieve we have from these horrible old sounds is while “Drown In It” plays. These synths, which sound like they were lifted from some beat-up and broke-down keyboard, feature in “Add Me In”, in “Loyal” (featuring fellow-fakes Lil Wayne and Tyga) and continue on through “New Flame” and the slow-jam-crap “Songs On 12”. And while Brown exclaims “I think it’s over!” and “I ain’t going back no more”, the listener begins to wish this Pop Muzak was over, and that we didn’t have to go back no more.įrom the second track onward, we’re introduced to a featured Artist we haven’t encountered in years some annoyingly aged, cheap-and-tacky synths. Wavering between gentle and wannabe-hard bullshit, this track is a perfect metaphor for Chris himself, who skates the line of bubblegum and perceived-credibility oh so carefully. Produced by Diplo, the track features a House piano, various nods to Garage and Dubstep all genres incidentally, which have been stolen from the underground and transformed into empty, soulless versions of themselves. This opener is a great example of the out-of-touch, noughties-sounding, masked-pop-music of today. His latest album “X” opens with the title track which starts with a calm and mellow intro. And yet, even though he is one of the shittiest singers and performers of today’s generation, for some unknown reason, Chris with his rubbish-skip-looking lower face and slap-dash tattoos, is seen as credible by idiotic Pop fans. Case in point Chris Brown, who looks like the result of the four members of Color Me Badd somehow procreating with each other, and whose vocals pretty much sound like all those nineties fakers put together.
The group switched to Sony for a final album, Awakening, but its commercial failure led them to disband.By What Went Wrong Or Right With.? on Septemīoth credible music and credible sub-culture has been quietly hi-jacked and replaced by forgeries over the last twenty years or so. Now & Forever (1996) gave Color Me Badd a final Top 20 pop single in "The Earth, the Sun, the Rain," but it barely registered in the charts. It featured two Top 20 pop singles, the title track (which also made the R&B Top Ten) and "Choose," and went gold, but that was a commercial disappointment after the enormous success of the first album.
After slating fans' thirst for a new album with the remix collection Young, Gifted and Badd - The Remixes, the group issued their second album of new material, Time and Chance, in November 1993. They finished 1992 second only to Boyz II Men as the top pop singles act of the year.

The singles set the stage for the first Color Me Badd album, C.M.B., which sold over three million copies and spawned the gold-selling number one pop hit "All 4 Love" as well as the Top 20 singles "Thinkin' Back" and "Slow Motion." Color Me Badd's next single was another movie soundtrack song, "Forever Love" from Mo' Money, their sixth consecutive single to reach the Top 20. They followed it with the gold-selling "I Adore Mi Amor," which hit #1 on both the pop and R&B charts. Released as a single, the song topped the R&B charts, went Top Five pop, and enjoyed double-platinum sales. Signing to Giant Records, they broke through in 1991 with their performance of "I Wanna Sex You Up" on the soundtrack of New Jack City. They proved adept at both churning dance tunes and sincere ballads. This vocal quartet formed as high school students in Oklahoma City before relocating to New York.
