Chris Brown dies for his country in the emotionally-charged video for his new tender love song, "Don't Judge Me," the fifth single to come from the 23-year-old Grammy winning R&B crooner's latest fifth studio album, "Fortune." The emotional track was one of the reasons why the album felt cripplingly pointless.
Brown takes a break from the hip-hop, pop lockin' and euro-pop beats, returning to his rhythm-and-blues roots to deliver a love ballad for his latest single "Don't Judge Me." He explained to MTV News: "It was important for me to go back to the basis of what people love me for, and that was my R&B." Musically, it is a midtempo lilting and breathy ballad, which contains lyrics about Brown still doesn't quite grasp the extent of what he has done in the past, and asking his love interest not to judge him by his chequered past but to move on with the future, "take me as I am."
Later on he admits, "I won't deny what they're saying. Because most of it is true." Brown sings in his signature semi-high pitch and when hearing songs like this, you can't knock his ability to make good music. Brown get into character and shed some tears in the Collin Tilley-co-directed clip, which follows a sci-fi type storyline where Brown is the 'Black Diamond' on a mission to do exactly what the title says while dealing with his girl and the pain she feels because of his past.
Brown makes his way through the California desert and sitting in front of a couch with a woman sleeping behind him before arriving at an military base as he preps for a suicide mission to save the planet. He begins to weep and destroys the ship by crashing into it, incinerating himself in the process. When asked by an overzealous reporter, who is also his girlfriend, why he's do this, Brown says, "If that means saving the people that I love and I care about, then that's what I'll do." The clip has a futuristic look and feel and is sure to make his fans cry with him as he makes the ultimate sacrifice. This is definitely art at its finest!
