Chris Brown is stepping into his next chapter with the release of “Fallin’,” a new collaboration with Leon Thomas that sets the tone for his upcoming album BROWN.  The single joins earlier releases “Obvious” and the Grammy-nominated “It Depends” featuring Bryson Tiller, all of which will appear on his 12th studio project, arriving May 8.

“Fallin’”marks his second time Brown worked with Thomas, following their earlier collaboration on “Mutt (CB Remix).” The single arrives with an ambitious visual directed by Travis Colbert with appearances from Usher and Tank. Running about eight minutes, the video draws inspiration from a 1930s aesthetic, blending vintage storytelling with a cinematic feel reminiscent of classic period dramas.

The forthcoming album BROWN is a 27-track release that builds on the momentum of Brown’s previous project, 11:11 (Deluxe), which earned a Grammy for Best R&B Album and featured the platinum-certified hit “Residuals.” Beyond that success, Brown had a standout awards season, taking home multiple honors including Outstanding Male Artist at the NAACP Image Awards—an accolade he now shares the record for with Usher—as well as wins at the BET Awards for Best Male R&B/Pop Artist and Viewer’s Choice Award.

“It Depends” proved especially impactful, debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B Digital Song Sales chart and reaching No. 16 on the Hot 100. Alongside that track, Brown also released “Holy Blindfold” during his recent touring cycle.

Looking ahead, Brown is set to hit the road again—this time alongside Usher—for a major North American stadium run titled The R&B Tour (Raymond & Brown). The 40-date trek begins June 26 in Denver and will visit major cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Miami before wrapping up in December.
