When it comes to vocals, the greatest showcase of Brown's abbility comes on "Cadillac (interlude)" which is a nearly acappella song.
The lyrics seem to be better than on the last album aswell (most notably on "Don't Judge Me", "4 Years Old" and "Stuck on Stupid"). There is a great ton of detail on each of the songs, making them intresting and often creating a great build up. It doesn't get boring though, the production on it's own keeps you entertained. It starts of with "Turn up the music", continues with Dubstep influenced "Bassline" and then switches to the futuristic sounding "Till I Die" but later on, it's R&B and only R&B until the last 2 tracks at the end (unless you count Nas feature on Mirage which is probably my favourite record on the album). The album seems much more cohesive than the last 2 records (even though I never had a problem with that). Why? Because I expected mostly dance, pop driven record and instead I get something that comes closer to Chris Brown's first 2 albums. The album's singles give a little wrong idea of what the album serves. After hearing the 5 singles realeased from Fortune, I was thinking it's gonna be good but nowhere near good as the last album (F.A.M.E.), After hearing the 5 singles realeased from Fortune, I was thinking it's gonna be good but nowhere near good as the last album (F.A.M.E.), needless to say - I was wrong.
