Overview
This catalog includes the songwriter's share of publishing royalties on two songs from Chris Brown's Indigo-Deluxe Edition album, featuring the Platinum-certified track "Under The Influence."
Artist & Song Information
"Under The Influence," originally part of Chris Brown's Indigo album's extended version, was first released on October 4, 2019. Following a surprising surge in popularity on social media the track was officially released as a single on September 6, 2022. After its re-release, the song reached the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, achieved a Platinum certification from the RIAA, and, with 1.4 billion streams, now stands as Chris Brown's most-streamed track on Spotify. This renewed attention showcases its cultural relevance and demonstrates the power of social media to amplify songs well after their initial release.
"Lower Body" is a collaboration between Chris Brown and Nigerian artist Davido. It was also released as part of the deluxe edition of Brown's 2019 Indigo album. This track merged Brown’s R&B sound with Afrobeat influences, showing his versatility and his interest in global music trends. "Lower Body" marked another step in Chris Brown’s engagement with international sounds, appealing to both American and African audiences.
