Chris Brown channels Prince in new song "Sweet Love"

I'm not the biggest Chris Brown fan but this song has such a Prince-vibe I like it. It also samples "The beautiful ones."

First line..."Oh baby let's get naked...just so we can make sweet love..."

Where have I heard that before?

The song is trash, by any standards modern or old. Damn... people have such low expectations these days.

This may be construed as an " old folks " attack and or snob reply but seriously, compare a true ballad like this...

To what Chris sang, end of story and debate. I'm a man so I know I'm not Chris's target audience but that is song is kiddie shit, they can't write them like they used to.

grammar edits.

They definitely stole the piano stab from The Beautiful Ones

but...the song still sucks.

The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

I don't like it.

Something about "legs over your head" as I recall.

"The Beautiful Ones" is such an original and so defined by it's creator that no one will do justice to it.

I liked the days when Chris Brown had a smidge of a semblance of squeaky cleanness.

He'll never inherit the thrown of Michael Jackson with such sleazy, pedestrian nonsense.

Chris aint NEVER gonna be on MJs throne. It's reserved for one king only.

This song is bad and sounds very "plastic", it's not innovative at all. If Chris wants to get some respect, sit home for a year and try to invent new melodies and arrangements (perhaps learn an instrument?) for your music, instead of sampling Michael, Prince and Stevie and all the other people his producers always sample. Musically there's no difference between this song and some songs from Justin Biebers album.

At first I wasn't going to listen to this song in its entirety once I saw that he was trying to "channel" Prince. So, about a minute into listening to this song my dog got up and walked to the other side of the room (my guess is to avoid the noise that is Chris Brown).

I have heard dozens, perhaps hundreds of songs that sound exactly like this in the past 10 years or so. I like a few of Chris Brown's songs but find him to be insanely overrated. He's a cute guy (sans the tattoos) so I can't blame the teenyboppers for liking him but he's woefully unoriginal vocally...it's like he's some guy that they said they'd "make into a singer" rather than find someone who actually could sing or had musical talent....I think he's an incredible dancer, like for hip hop dancing...but his fame like many others (Rihanna, Nicki M, etc.) baffles me considering how one-dimensional and manufactured they are...

Trolls be gone!

Great song. Can't wait for the new album.

Anyone drawing inspiration from the greatest artist of all time is always a great thing. Good job, Breezy.
