The BET Awards 2025 has announced that Chris Brown's latest album, '11:11 Deluxe,' is a contender for Album of the Year. This expanded edition features a massive 35 tracks, showcasing Brown's diverse musical styles and genres.
Brown's decision to release a comprehensive album contrasts with the trend of shorter releases. The album includes tracks like "Bruce Lee," "Go Girlfriend," and "No Interruptions," each demonstrating a different facet of his artistry.
The album navigates various sounds, including the trap beats of "Shooter" and the dance-floor filler "Midnight Freak." "Stutter" and "Summer Too Hot" have gained radio attention, while "Moonlight" offers smooth R&B.
BET.com noted that Brown embraces abundance with '11:11 Deluxe,' creating a rich and emotionally complex narrative. The album's length, exceeding two hours, reflects Brown's disregard for current trends and his focus on storytelling.
The album also features tracks like "Delusional," "Run Away," and the two-part "Angel Numbers / Ten Toes," which explore themes of modern love and spirituality. Brown's vocals are highlighted throughout, ranging from deep tones to soaring highs.
The BET Awards, celebrating its 25th anniversary, will feature a star-studded lineup. For Brown, this nomination also marks two decades of hit-making since his debut in the 2000s.
