Indigo is the ninth studio album by American singer, songwriter Chris Brown, released on June 28, 2019, by RCA Records.[1] The album marks his second double album and serves as a follow-up to his eighth album Heartbreak on a Full Moon (2017). Brown enlisted and worked with several producers, including Smash David, Soundz, Hitmaka, Boi-1da, Scott Storch, OG Parker and many others. The album features various guest appearances by urban and pop artists, including Nicki Minaj, G-Eazy, Tory Lanez, Tyga, Justin Bieber, Juicy J, Juvenile, H.E.R, Tank, Lil Jon, Lil Wayne, Joyner Lucas, Gunna, Trey Songz and Drake.

The official recording sessions for the album began in August 2018 and ended in May 2019, with some songs being recorded earlier during the first months of 2018, while a couple songs from the extended edition were recorded a few years prior. The album's aesthetics feature a supernatural and spiritual imagery, conceived by Brown himself, and handled by graffiti artist Saturno, visual artist Jeff Cole, and 3D artists Circle Circle Math and Sarper Baran.

The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, making it his third number-one album in the country, and first in seven years, since Fortune (2012). Six official singles were released from Indigo: "Undecided", "Back to Love", "Wobble Up", featuring Nicki Minaj and G-Eazy, "No Guidance", featuring Drake, and "Heat", featuring Gunna. "No Guidance" became the biggest hit from the album, peaking at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, and topping the Rhythmic Airplay chart, until being unseated by the following released single, "Heat", at the top spot.

Background and recording

In December 2017, soon after releasing his acclaimed first double-disc, Heartbreak on a Full Moon, Brown started to work on new material.[4][5] Later in the beginning of 2018 he worked on two collaboration mixtapes, that ended up never being released, one with R&B singer Jacquees, and another one with rapper Joyner Lucas, while still working on new songs for his next solo project, that was rumored to be called Indigo.[6]

The actual processing work of the project, after the drafting of its concept, began in August 2018, at the end of the "Heartbreak On A Full Moon tour", with "Undecided" being the first song composed following the idealization of the album,[7] while a couple songs from the extended edition, dropped 3 months after the actual album, were composed during the realization of the previous album Heartbreak on a Full Moon, with the song "Technology" made in 2016, and the song "Going At It" in December 2017. The album was fully recorded and mixed at Calabasas Sound in Los Angeles, with the exception of "Undecided", being recorded and mixed at Brown's home studio, named CBE Studios.[8]

Prior to its release the singer said that Indigo would focus on "energy, love, light, and happiness", saying that it reminded him of his previous albums Chris Brown, Graffiti and F.A.M.E..[9] Brown explained the album's title during an Instagram live, saying:

The color indigo is a symbol of spirituality and inner awakening, and for the album I composed various songs entitled by colors that represent the emotion of those colors, for example "Red" represents anger, but the concept of the disc develops on the meaning of indigo. It's also connected to indigo children, and that explains the supernatural mood of the album.[10]

Music and lyrics

Indigo is an R&B album, which tends to a slightly more pop sound than its predecessor Heartbreak on a Full Moon,[3] containing as well genres such as dancehall and afrobeat. The album's sound in parts contains influences of tropical music, where songs with percussionist sounds from genres like dancehall, afropop and bounce music prevail, as in songs like "You Like That", "Juice", "Wobble Up", "Back to Love" and "Lurkin'".[11]

On the disc there are 4 double tracks, where there's a progression of different musical productions, and they are "Emerald/Burgundy", "Natural Disaster/Aura", "Trust Issues/Act In" and "BP/No Judgment".[12]

Indigo's topics outline a positive turn that follows a bad period in a person's life, represented as the calm after the storm. In many parts of the album the singer describes how love, in his many forms, connects him to the enlightment of his spirituality.[13] According to A.D. Amorosi of The Inquirer, the album's themes mix spiritual awakening with sexuality.[13] Indigo, being the follow-up of Heartbreak on a Full Moon, leaves the raw and personal songwriting of that album, as well as its dark and sultry mood, for a way more lighthearted sound and tone, still having few introspective songs like "All on Me" and "Don't Check on Me" that give a closer look at Brown's trials and tribulations.[14]

Artwork

The cover art for the album was revealed on May 14, 2019, along with the back cover. The front cover artwork was designed by graffiti artist Saturno and features a purple-haired Chris Brown's face in space, surrounded by fictional monsters and flying saucers, while the back cover, designed by visual artist Jeff Cole, continues the supernatural theme with a levitating body over a pyramid.[15] The CD's interior illustrations were handled by 3D artists and concept designers Circle Circle Math and Sarper Baran, that worked over a photoshoot done by Jake Miosge, Brown's official tour photographer.[16][17]

Release and promotion

In December 2017, Brown showed that he was working on new songs teasing a "Michael Jackson-inspired" song on his Instagram profile, filming a video from his studio and playing the song supposedly called "Vampire Vibe".[4][5] During the first months of 2018 he posted some snippets of new unreleased songs, showing that he was working on a collaboration mixtape with Jacquees, on another collaboration mixtape with Joyner Lucas, and on his album, rumored to be called Indigo.[6]

In January 2019, Brown announced a new deal with International global media and his label RCA Records, becoming one of the youngest artists to own his masters at age 29.[18] Indigo was announced as the first album on this deal, with the release of the first single "Undecided" on January 4, 2019.[19] Three days later Brown stated in an Instagram post that his new album would not be as lengthy as Heartbreak on a Full Moon.[9]

He later previewed and released the second official single from the album, "Back to Love", on April 11, 2019, getting a positive response from fans and critics.[20][21][22] The following week he released the third single from the album, "Wobble Up", featuring Nicki Minaj and G-Eazy,[23] announcing that the album would be released in June, also confirming a summer tour with Nicki Minaj, that ended up never happening.[24][25] In an announcement made on May 2, 2019, Brown announced the list of artists he had been working with for the album, including Tory Lanez, Sage the Gemini, Tyga, Justin Bieber, Juicy J, Juvenile, H.E.R, Tank, Lil Jon, Lil Wayne, Joyner Lucas, Gunna and Drake.[26] Some of these collaborations were surprising to the media, especially Drake, due to their public feud that lasted for several years.[27][28][29] Two days later he said that Indigo would be a 30-track album, in reference to his 30th birthday.[30]

During Brown's birthday party on May 5, 2019, the singer previewed some songs from the album, and announced its release for June 21, 2019, later admitting a possible postponement to a week later, on June 28.[31][32] He later revealed the artwork of the album and its track list between May and June 2019.[33][34] On June 8, Brown released "No Guidance" featuring Drake as a single.[35] It debuted at number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it Chris Brown's 15th top-ten song, and becoming his highest-charting song as a lead artist since 2013's "Loyal" as well.[36]

Indigo was released on June 28, 2019. In August he hinted an upcoming deluxe version of the album, confirming it on September 27.[37] On October 4, 2019, Brown released an expanded version of Indigo entitled Indigo Extended, which included 10 additional songs, making the extended version a total of 42 songs.[38]

In January 2020 Brown announced on his Instagram profile that the album was about to get a "mini movie" visual version.[39] Later on March 9, 2020 he confirmed its working posting a short video snippet of futuristic graphics accompanied by the song "Red". He captioned the video with "INDIGO MOVIE STARTS PRODUCTION SOON".[40][41] However the mini movie ended up never happening, with speculations that it didn't because of the starting of COVID-19 pandemic.[42]

Tour

Brown performing "Burgundy" during his "Indigoat Tour"

On June 10, 2019, Chris Brown announced an official headlining concert tour where he performed the album throughout United States, titled "Indigoat Tour". The tour began on August 20 in Portland, Oregon, at Moda Center, and ended on October 19 in Anaheim, California, at the Honda Center. The opening acts for the tour were Tory Lanez, Ty Dolla $ign, Joyner Lucas and Yella Beezy.[43]

Reception

Jay Cridlin of Tampa Bay Times said that the concert was "a guilty pleasure", wondering if supporting his unique talent should be wrong after the mistakes that he's done, expressing "At what point do we -- can we, should we -- forget about the blowups and restraining orders, and just marvel at the way Brown splits into a backflip and kick-spins a 360 during Drunk Texting?".[44]

The tour was considered a big success, grossing over $30,100,000 in its 37 shows, selling out most of the venues, and being the third most successful hip-hop tour of 2019, after Travis Scott's "Astroworld – Wish You Were Here Tour" and Eminem's "Rapture 2019"[45]

Trent Clark stated in the title of his review that, "“Indigo is a publicity stunt that needs a cease and desist" and found that "Listening to 32 songs straight through is a chore. Of course, all trespasses would be forgiven if Indigo was this era’s Trap&B Thriller but Brown, whose applauded prolificness hasn’t been behind a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit since 2007, opts to be the chaser instead of the creator." Clark pointed out that "There are aimless love ballads like anticlimactic ender “Play Catchup” or overwrought “You Like That” which bleed genericness", and that "there are reaches for commercial fodder that come off half-baked". Despite this, he also said that "The good side of the coin offers some positive counterbalance, however... Overtop a dreamy soundscape of chimes and hypnotic drums, Brown and H.E.R. harmonize their bones perfectly on the romantic “Come Together.” The buoyant “Troubled Waters” softens the mood deep into the album as the metaphor for being a lifeguard of love funnels rather nicely. And although it doesn’t meet the level of its celebrity expectations, the Drake-featured “No Guidance” serves as a timeless bluesy groove that most importantly, seals the coffin on a particularly nasty feud." Clark ended the review and found the album was "...the whiteboard of ideas and nobody bothered to find the dry eraser." and gave the album a 2.9 out of 5. [46]

Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album two and a half stars out of five, and stated that while the album "allows more than enough space for the singer to sufficiently cover each one of his modes, that "On his own, Brown tends to tread water" and that "All of the referenced classics... are handled clumsily."[47]
