Kicking off the week with a big release, Chris Brown hits fans with yet another new futuristic visual for his latest dance-inspired track "Don't Wake Me Up." The song is the fourth single from the pop and R&B singer's fifth studio album, "Fortune," which will be sent to contemporary hit radio and rhythmic contemporary radio today, and officially due in stores July 3rd.Musically, "Don't Wake Me Up" is a strobe light thumper song that features a heavy bassline and repetitive chorus, with Brown repeating the line "don't wake me up." The dance-pop song starts off slow before launching into an all-out dance party, and Brown's vocals in the song are auto-tuned. Brown continues to push towards the release of his new album "Fortune," and the accompanying music video is here and it sounds like Brown out to prove that autotune aint' dead, these uggins just scared.
The trippy video for "Don't Wake Me Up," was directed by Colin Tilley and filmed in a desert on May 14. It finds the R&B singer chasing his lady love in his dreams, and the visuals are centered on three different dream states Brown is in each one a trip into a world vastly different from the next. It boasts stunning visual effects and brings to mind some pretty fantastic dreamlike imagery that makes us think of 'The Matrix,' 'Alice in Wonderland,' and 'Neverending Story' in one clean sweep.
The 23-year-old entertainer hits the middle of the desert and follows super hot model Araya Nicks, who plays the girl of his dreams and appears in a white dress, on foot through a hedge maze and in the sky, amid fast-moving clouds and above skyscrapers. The two then engage in a deadly car chase in the dusty desert while the sun is either setting or rising. They are then shown to be plugged into what appears to be a dream machine. The visuals are stunning, and suit the aesthetic of the song perfectly!
