Chris Brown Announces "X" Release Date

Chris Brown Announces "X" Release Date

Don't hold your breath, but Chris Brown's long-delayed new album may finally see the light of day.

According to an image posted to his Instagram Sunday, X is slated for release Sept. 16.

The album has been a long time coming for the troubled R&B star: Last September, he announced a November release for his sixth effort, which has been preceded by singles Fine China, Loyal (with Lil Wayne), Love More (with Nicki Minaj), and New Flame (featuring Usher and Rick Ross).

"X is about life, it's about me," he told USA TODAY's Edna Gundersen. "X is the 24th letter of the alphabet, and I'll be 24 when it comes out. When you see X on a vial, it's like forbidden fruit. For me, it means being able to express myself without a filter, without boundaries."
