Obviously channeling an artist that came before you can either be viewed as an awesome homage with a fresh twist that shows what you’re capable of or as something that should’ve never happened. For Chris Brown, cultivating Michael Jackson musically, vocally and choreographically is the only thing that makes sense and it’s what we’ve been waiting for. In terms of dance, the MJ influence has always been present, but not as much as it is now musically and ‘tis tasty. His 1st single from the approaching 2013 album “X,” “Fine China,” sounds like it’s fresh off the MJ production line, being a sleek groove that’s somewhat theatrical and a merger between live instrumentation and the mechanical. The lyrics are decent, although I think there’s a better analogy for a woman’s matchlessness than fine china. The video, which you can view below, follows a Romeo & Juliet story we’ve seen before, but I still found myself glued to the computer screen wondering what was going to happen and enjoying the choreography. What are your thoughts? Is it like “Fine China?”
