Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne, Swiss Beatz: 'I Can Transform Ya'

It would have been so much easier if he'd come back with something shonky, or even something safe and simpering, but oh no, Chris Brown had to come back with something that really swaggers. 'I Can Transform Ya', his first single since... well, we don't need to go into that here, do we?... is roughly as humble as Simon Cowell's bank balance.

Produced by Swiss Beatz, who also guests, it's a brutal, tuneless hunk of industrial R&B - as musically ugly as something like 'With You' was pretty. Over clattering beats, party whistles and stabbing rock guitars, Brown and Lil Wayne brag about their ability to give a girl a million-dollar makeover. "My black card they don't decline that, I see potential in that, let me mould that," Brown sings - hardly the message you'd expect from a man seeking to disinfect the fetid whiff of misogyny. Whatever you may think of him, you can't deny that Chris Brown lacks balls. Or, for that matter, that this track rocks.
