Heartbreak on a Full Moon is the upcoming eighth studio album by American singer Chris Brown. The album is scheduled to release on October 31, 2017 by RCA Records.[2] The track listing was announced by Brown on his Instagram account on May 2, 2017, and it will be a double album.[3]

Background and recording

Brown started working and recording tracks for the album some weeks before the dropping of Royalty, his seventh studio album, in late 2015, then he continued working on the album during 2016 and 2017, also during his "The Party tour", also building a recording studio inside of his house.[4][5][6] Brown said about the album during an interview for Complex:

I thought Heartbreak On a Full Moon was a depiction of what my soul wanted to say. It's funny because we're doing a double album. I've done so many records, but all of the records, to me, are personal favorites and I feel like it gets what I want to say across. It gives a vibe. You get nostalgia or you get a sense of individuality.[7]

Artwork

The cover art for the album was announced on October 5, 2017. It consists of a pink moon with a graphic of an actual heart organ on top of it.[8] Notably, this is the first album cover where Chris is not pictured.

Release and promotion

On January 10, 2016 Brown had previewed 11 unreleased songs on his Periscope and Instagram profiles, showing him dancing and lip-synching these songs.[9][10][11] Later on January, February and March 2016, he released videos on his Instagram profile where he was lip-synching snippets from the unreleased songs "Sirens", "Lost And Found",[12] and "Dead Wrong".[13][14][15]

On April 27 through Twitter, he announced the release of a new single on May 5.[16][17][18] On May 3 he revealed that the single would be "Grass Ain't Greener", showing its cover art and announcing it as the first single from Heartbreak on a Full Moon.[19] The single was released on May 5, 2016, the day of Brown's 27th birthday, but it was originally not included on the album's previous track listing then was re-included on the official tracklist as the last track when the album was available for pre-order. [20]

In November and December 2016, he released videos on his Instagram profile where he was lip-synching snippets from other unreleased songs: "For Me",[21] "Post & Delete",[22][23] and "Yellow Tape".[24][25]

On December 16, 2016, he released the second official single from the album, "Party", that features guest vocals from American R&B singer Usher and rapper Gucci Mane. On January 4, 2017 Brown had previewed two snippets on his Instagram profile from the songs "Privacy" and "Tell Me Baby", then in February announced that "Privacy" would have been released as the next single from Heartbreak on a Full Moon.[26][27] The single was released on March 24, 2017.[28]

The initial track listing was announced by Brown on his Instagram account on May 2, 2017, saying that it would have been a double-disc album, and that it would have been released in June 2017.[29] In the first days of June 2017 46 songs discarded from the album were leaked, most of them were unfinished versions while a few were demos.[30][31]

In July 2017 he announced the pending release of upcoming singles from his album.[32] Later on August 4, 2017, he released the album's fourth single "Pills & Automobiles", that features guest vocals from American trap artists Yo Gotti, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Kodak Black.[33] Then on August 14, 2017 he announced the release of the fifth official single from the album, "Questions", on August 16, announcing the album release date, saying that it would be released on October 31, 2017.[34]
