Chris Brown has unveiled the tracklist for his upcoming 27-song album BROWN (an acronym for “Break Rules Only When Necessary”), which is set for release this Friday, May 8, 2026. The project features a star-studded lineup of collaborators, including Vybz Kartel, Sexyy Red, Leon Thomas, Bryson Tiller, Fridayy, GloRilla, Lucky Daye, Tank, and YoungBoy Never Broke Again, building anticipation for one of his most feature-packed projects yet.
The rollout has already delivered two singles “Obvious,” released in April, and “Fallin’” featuring Leon Thomas, which dropped on May 1, 2026.

This follows the success of his previous project, 11:11 (Deluxe), which earned him the Grammy Award for Best R&B Album in 2025.
