Take a listen to “So Cold,” a new song from Chris Brown. Brown confirmed via hisTwitter page that the track, produced by Polow Da Don and co-written by Ester Dean and Teyana Taylor, will indeed be featured on his upcoming third studio album, Graffiti. He just hopes his album doesn’t leak:
OMG as you all know a song leaked today from my album called so cold.. im a lil upset but i pray my album doesnt leak..
im still putting it on the album though. i dont care if its leaked
Within the first 30 – 60 seconds of the song, you already know what it’s about … and who it’s about, without question:
Tell her I’m sorry, I’m really sorry / Can you forgive me? / Please forgive me / And come back home / Keep me safe and warm / Damn my baby’s really gone / I don’t know if she’s coming home / My luck’s up, I f**ked up…
Damn Chris, if this is how you really feel about Rihanna then this is gonna be a loooongg azz 5 years! Brown’s Graffiti is set to drop early next year.

Just seconds into a rendition of her current duet with David Guetta, “When Love Takes Over,” at the awards honoring Music of Black Origin, Rowland encountered some technical difficulties with her sound and did what any seasoned pro would do: She stopped singing and stood there looking confused. Granted, her gormless expression lasted just a few seconds—during which time her background dancers can be seen furiously motioning offstage—before resuming the tune, but the same can’t be said for her anger.
Rapper Nelly was spotted by the paparazzi as he made his way to his car after partying at Alto Nightclub in London, England Friday night (Sep 25).
