Pubblicazione

Heartbreak on a Full Moon is an R&B album, containing songs with different influences from other genres as well, predominantly from hip hop. Its sound has been described for the most part as dark and soulful. The songs on the album are characterized by their raw, personal and explicit songwriting, showing every emotional aspect of what's been on the singer's mind after an heavy breakup. Its themes include regret, love transforming into hate, the difficulty in managing emotions, the impossibility of getting over someone, and how a reckless lifestyle can't numb the pain of an heartbreak. Its lyrical content was inspired by Brown's breakup with Karrueche Tran, happened in 2015 after they both discovered that the singer accidentally had a daughter with another woman. Although Brown was able to convince RCA Records of the album's length, they were initially hesitant.

The album received widespread acclaim from music critics, that celebrated the record's introspective lyrical content, as well as its lyrical and sounding concept, its length and Brown's performances, considering it as one of the most ambitious albums of its time. The album was defined by many as one of the best ones in Brown's catalogue.[2]

One week after its release Heartbreak on a Full Moon was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over 500,000 units in the United States, and Brown became the first R&B male artist that went gold in a week since Usher's Confessions in 2004.[3] The album has been certified Double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

The album was anticipated by numerous snippets, that hyped the project's release since early 2016, by six official singles; including "Grass Ain't Greener", "Party", "Privacy", "Pills & Automobiles", "Questions", and "Tempo", and the promotional singles "High End" and "Hope You Do".

Background and recording

The theme of the album was inspired by the singer's breakup with Karrueche Tran, happened in March 2015 after they both discovered that he accidentally had a daughter, named Royalty Brown, with another woman, named Nia Guzman. Brown, after dedicating his seventh studio album Royalty to his daughter, decided that he wanted to make an album that developed over the subject of his heartbreak caused by his breakup with Tran.[4]

Brown started working and recording tracks for the album a few weeks before the release of Royalty, in late 2015. He continued working on the album during 2016 and 2017, also during two tours, the European leg of the One Hell of a Nite Tour and The Party Tour. Brown also built a recording studio inside of his house to record songs for the album.[5][6][7] The recording sessions mostly took place in Los Angeles and New York City. The only record of the album that has been made before its actual making is the track "Bite My Tongue", which dripped over from his previous album Royalty. The recording of the album eventually ended in August 2017, with "Rock Your Body" being the last one made for the project.

The singer, while working on the album, realized that he had done too many songs that he thought were quality records that followed perfectly the narrative of the album to make a 15/20 track album, so he decided that he wanted to take it to the next level by working it as a 40-track album. RCA Records, the record label of the singer, initially wasn't agreeable of satisfying Brown's intentions to make a 40-track album, thinking that it would've damaged its commercial performance, but the singer ended up convicing them. Brown said about the album that he wanted to "outdo expectations" and "push the boundaries on artistry". Musically, the intention for the album was to explore different genres and styles, keeping a dark R&B sound that could've displayed Brown's performing malleability. Lyrically, the singer wanted to talk about "all the aspects that were going on in my life, during the complex period that i was living", declaring that "the subject matter and the substance behind it had to be sometimes clever and thoughtful, and sometimes fun and reckless" to let the music be "an embodiement of the person that i am now".

He explained the concept for the album in August 2017 during an interview for Complex. saying: Template:Cquote

Brown said during an interview for radio Hot 97 that, in contrast to his precedent album Royalty which he described as a "representation of where i was in my life at that point", Heartbreak on a Full Moon would be his "artistry album", saying that the album would be his most personal one as well,[8] explaining its lyrical content, saying: Template:Cquote

The singer said that his favorite record off the album is its last one, "Yellow Tape", stating that it was recorded at 8 in the morning, after a sleepless night of heavy partying, when he ended up alone in his studio. He described the song as a "reflection record about his worst struggles".[9]

Artwork

The cover art for the album was announced on October 5, 2017. It consists of a pink moon with a graphic of an actual heart organ on top of it.[10] The pink moon represents the themes of the album, which are predominantly directed to girls, in breakup, love and sex songs, while the blood-dripping human heart, with the blood that dripping becomes ink, represents the raw heartbroken feelings of the singer, that are poured into the lyrics of the majority of the album.[11]

The cover art for Heartbreak on a Full Moon is Brown's first artwork where the singer does not appear directly.

Music and lyrics

Heartbreak on a Full Moon is an R&B album, with a sound that has been described as dark and soulful, with songs like "Lost & Found", "This Ain't", "Nowhere" or "Paradise" representing it, and "horror-themed" in various songs such as "Pull Up", "Party", "Sensei" or "High End".[12] The album, keeping its sole sound, includes songs with different musical directions and influences, mainly from hip-hop, but also from dancehall ("This Way", "Confidence", "I Love Her", "Rock Your Body", "Questions"), trap ("Sensei", "Pills & Automobiles", "High End"), soft rock ("Enemy", "No Exit"), and pop ("Bite My Tongue", "If You're Down", "Frustrated").[13] Brown performances on the album often switch from his R&B singing to his rapping.

The songs on the album are characterized by their raw, personal and explicit songwriting, showing every emotional aspect of what's been on the singer's mind after an heavy breakup. Its themes include regret, love transforming into hate, the difficulty in managing emotions, the impossibility of getting over someone, and how he tries to escape his sorrows through a reckless lifestyle full of sex with multiple women, parties and drugs, then realizing how that behaviour can't numb the pain of his heartbreak. The album also has a couple of episodes where the singer faces themes of police brutality and dark side of fame.

The lyrical content of the album starts with the opening track "Lost & Found", branching out in a plot that poetically and explicitly explains the bitter pain of the heartbreak caused by a woman dependent on the good life, being sung in perspective to the direct interested. The production of the song is dominated by a slow chord of a warm and atmospheric bass, accompanied by maliconic guitar chords and sporadic percussions. Brown's vocals in the song are proportioned to the emotion of the lyrics, by having a melancholic intonation in the first verse, becoming more demanding and aggressive in the second, ending with a third verse rapped in an auto-tuned aggressively sad way, where the voice effect suggests the absence of sobriety of the singer on whom his heavy words depend.[14] Throughout the album the lyrics depict the pain of the singer reflected on his thoughts and feelings, and how he tries to escape it with parties, sex and drugs. On the songs "Everybody Knows" and "Hurt the Same", the singer angrily accuses the woman he loved for being insensitive and ungrateful, making straightforward references to his relationship with Tran. He humbly apologizes to her ex-girlfriend for his actions that hurted her on songs like "Enemy", "Tough Love" and "Even", sadly reminiscing the best moments passed with her. On tracks like "Privacy", "To My Bed", "Covered In You", "Tell Me What to Do" and "Rock Your Body" he tells sexual adventures, approaching women in sultry ways.

On the mournful "This Ain't" the singer tries to have a love relationship with another woman, but realizes that their relationship is just sex with no love involvement. On tracks like "Sip", "Hope You Do", "Pull Up" and "Pills & Automobiles" he finds himself in intimate situations with girls, being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. On "Nowhere" he expresses his impossibility of getting over his ex-girlfriend. On "If You’re Down" he asks his loved one to turn her back on the complicated and frustrating things in life and instead decide to live in the moment with him embracing each other. On "Paradise" he looks back at the relationship with his ex-girl admitting that he treated and loved her the wrong way, understanding how he took her and their relationship for granted, and now that she left him, he's alone crying and desperately hoping to get her back, realizing that being with her was equal to living in paradise. "Run Away" is a story of two people in love that try to escape from police brutality. The whole song is response to police's violence aimed at unarmed African-Americans in the United States, that also makes a reference to the “Hands up, don’t shoot” slogan that was created after the shooting of Michael Brown. On the cheerful "This Way" the singer thanks his ex girlfriend for leaving him when he wasn’t ready for the relationship to cease, because now he has found happiness in having sex with multiple girls every night. After all the details of what's been on his feelings and what he's done after his breakup, on the last track, "Yellow Tape", he reflects on how he can't handle no more his pain, and how he's tired of his excessive lifestyle full of fake emotions that can't numb his heartbreak, ending up killing himself.[15]

Critical reception

Template:Album ratings

The album was widely acclaimed from critics. AllMusic editor Andy Kellman called Heartbreak on a Full Moon "artistically conservative", ending up saying "There's depth, though it does require some sifting. Among the better deep cuts is "Yellow Tape." A lurid rumination on the downside of fame, its foreboding hook has a lingering effect lasts almost as long as the album itself".[12] Rolling Stone's Vinson Vnyzy found "Rock Your Body", "You Like", "No Exit", "Paradise" and "Tough Love" to be its best moments, writing that "Chris Brown, in my opinion, is at his best when he sings about falling in or out of love. The lyrics are more poetic and powerful than when he sings about clubbing or sex. On this album he does both, but he merges both in a legitimate way."[67] Craig Jenkins of Vulture.com said that the album is "one of the most ambitious albums of his era", implying that "the album's first disc mixes peppy, dirty sex jams with moody revenge anthems that engage some of Brown's most grating tendencies as a performer, while the second reckons more humbly with depression.".[68] The Register-Guard's Melanie Sims praised the amplitude of genres on the album saying that "Brown's sound has always been the sum of varying genres, each one sending him to the top of one chart or another. That said, with Heartbreak on a Full Moon, Brown performs like a one-man streaming service, and he's got hits on every channel", also praising the introspective and deep lyrics of songs like "Lost & Found" and "Yellow Tape"[69] HipHopDX editor Scott Glaysher called the album "incredibly long", praising the "mesmerizing horror-themed sound" of some of the album's songs, like "Pull Up" and "Sensei".[70]

Ariell Reed from Driftwood wrote that the album "exceeds expectation", praising the lyrical production on songs like "Paradise", "Tough Love" and "Everybody Knows", saying that the best song on the album is the last one, "Yellow Tape", stating that the project "succeeds in every intent that Brown wanted, outdoing expectations and pushing boundaries".[71] The Boombox editor Prezzy praised the sound of the album, defining it as "a dark passionate mood", as well as its length, saying that "in an age where attention spans are shorter, simply having the gall to entertain creating an album with 40 songs on it takes a certain amount of gall, but Chris Brown defies the odds with Heartbreak on a Full Moon, an album that manages to maintain its high-quality despite the sheer quantity of music", stating that Heartbreak on a Full Moon "will go down among the most ambitious albums of its time".[72]

Commercial performance

Despite being counted for only three days of digital and streaming sales, because of its release in the middle of the chart’s tracking week, Heartbreak on a Full Moon debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, becoming Brown's ninth consecutive top 10 album on the chart, after selling 68,000 copies and earning 220,000 album-equivalent units within three days.[73] The album was Brown's seventh solo album to debut at number one on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[74] On November 8, 2017, Heartbreak on a Full Moon was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over 500,000 units in the United States. Brown became the first R&B male artist that went gold in a week since Usher's Confessions in 2004.[3] In its second chart week, the album remained at number three on Billboard 200, with 110,000 copies and earning 280,000 album-equivalent units.[75] In Australia, it entered the ARIA Albums Chart at number five, becoming his first top ten in the nation since X in 2014.[76] In the United Kingdom, the album debuted at number 10 on the UK Albums Chart, Brown's sixth non-consecutive top 10 album on the chart.[77] The album was eventually certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales of over 60,000 copies in the UK.[78] In New Zealand, the album debuted at number three on the RMNZ Albums Chart, giving Brown his seventh top ten album on the chart.[79] Until June 2018, the album has accumulated over 3 billion streams worldwide.[80]
