Riding with the success of his radio hit "Deuces," Chris Brown just unleashed a music video for the high-energy lead single "Yeah 3X," from his upcoming fourth studio "F.A.M.E." (Forgiving All My Enemies) album out early 2011. "Yeah 3X" is a speaker-rattling, synth-laden, electronic house banger, so it's only fitting that the accompanying visual would be all about powerhouse footwork. In video, the R&B star shows off his signature dance moves along with his usual catchy beats and charming smile with a group of people from a random neighborhood breaking down into a very sophisticated dance routine in the middle of the streets.The clip which was directed by Colin Tilley featured cameos by Teyana Taylor and Kevin McCall. The visual melds together a plethora of dance styles against a turn-of-the-century backdrop of old-timey storefronts and brownstones, kicking off with Brown's acrobatic entrance. Donning a black vest, trousers and a tie pinned in place, Brown's boyish energy belies his grown-man chic as he flips onto the top of a truck. Bored kids lining the neighborhood's stoops run into the street cheering as Brown is clearly here to save the day and eradicate the youth's ennui.
With a DJ spinning the sunny track, Brown then leads the mob of brightly dressed kids, teens and older residents down the street. Enthusiastic fist-pumping breaks out as the chorus nears and Brown flies through his first dance sequence. Flanked by two dancers, the trio pull off insanely high midair twirls, each seemingly jumping several feet above the ground. Then, following a foxy extra to another part of the lot, Brown runs into a four ladies rocking tank tops and suspenders — his next crew of dancers. They whip out sharp-yet-fluid arm movements as Brown takes the time to belt out the chorus and work in a few hip thrusts.
For the final dance sequence, The 21-year-old loses the white shirt and bares his chest through his peach jacket as he commands a chorus of blazer-rocking guys and midriff-baring ladies ripping through the last bit of choreography. Scenes of people going wild at an epic block party and drenched dancers executing graceful limber moves are spliced into the video-ending dance. But instead of Brown wrapping up the video with some eye-popping choreo, Brown simply spins, stops and looks off into the distance as the party ends. It's a dance party video!
