Chris Brown 'X' [PHOTOS/VIDEO]: Rihanna's Beau Talks New Album, Negativity, Maturity, and Being 'Comfortable in Own Skin'

Chris Maurice "Chris" Brown sat down with MTV and other prominant media outllets to discuss his upcoming album "X" to be released August 2013.

X is about life, it's about me," Brown told MTV. "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."

Without boundaries for Brown means sharing more of the album process with the press. He has had recent negativity from the press in regards to his social media rants. His last vulgar Twitter rant with comedian Jenny Johnson left a sour taste in fan's mouths, as Brown tweeted comments about defecating in Johnson's mouth. But according to Brown he has grown from his outburst.

"I think it's smarter as an entertainer and as a leader," Brown told MTV News.

Brown shared tracks from his forthcoming album with the media, in attempts to reintroduce himself as a mature, and peaceful artist.

The first single "Fine China," produced by Diplo who has worked with Brown in the past and recently produced on Snoop Lion's "Reincarnated," brings fans back to classic Chris Brown.

"For the first single, I wanted to go more nostalgic, bring Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Sam Cooke to it, but also bring a new sound to what my audience and fans are listening to," Brown said. "For this album, I wanted to have the same mentality as I did with the first album - me being green, me not thinking I know what's hot and what's next, me just being Chris Brown. I think this will show my vocal ability a lot more. I've developed a falsetto, I can sing at a higher register, and I can elaborate more on my skill," Brown told MTV News reporters.

It is no doubt that Chris Brown is talented, despite his public domestic dispute with Pop Princess Rihanna, his alleged club brawl with Young Money's Drake, his classic Twitter rants, and battle of the parking space with Grammy nominated singer Frank Ocean.

"X" will feature elevated vocals from the Platinum artist, including several features from the industries best, like Kendrick Lamar, and possibly J Lo. J Lo tweeted a photo of she and Brown in studio March 23.

Here is the inside scoop on Chris Brown's 'X" via USA Today:

• Fine China. Roccstar and PK produced the soulful track written by Brown, Sevyn, Roccstar and Eric Bellinger. "I'm keeping it fresh but it pays homage to the old greats, Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke and Michael Jackson," Brown says. "I don't like to go with what the crowd is doing or what I hear on the radio. I go with a gut instinct and what I feel in my heart."
• Add Me In. Brown, Roccstar and Bellinger wrote the Danja-produced retro-R&B tune with a mathematical twist on romance. "I like to use metaphor," Brown says. "There's not a lot of synthesized sounds and Auto-Tune. It's just real singing."
• Autumn Leaves. Produced by BAM and written by Brown and Roccstar, the unfinished tune's melancholy tone will lighten with the addition of an upbeat rap from Kendrick Lamar. "It's one of those songs that you put on in the car and just ride," Brown says. "It makes me think about a rainy day."
• Lady in Glass Dress. Camper produced the inspirational track that Brown wrote with Sam Hook. "It's saying that I know there may be girls out there who have had their hearts broken and don't have faith in relationships anymore," Brown says. "They have dreams of being loved. Everything will be all right."
• X. Producer Diplo brings an electronic wallop to hip-hop grooves on an autobiographical tune Brown penned with Roccstar, Sevyn and Dewaine Whitmore Jr. One lyric, in which the singer declines taunts to fight so he can rejoin a party, contradicts the rap on Brown.
