Chris Brown – Autumn Leaves (Explicit) ft. Kendrick Lamar

The masterpiece “Autumn Leaves,” a collaboration between Chris Brown and Kendrick Lamar, is, as the title suggests, a perfect October track themed around autumn.

When we think of autumn songs, we usually imagine somber melodies or relaxed tempos.

This song, however—sung by Chris Brown—has a very stylish track with strong R&B elements.

By the way, despite being themed around autumn, the music video frequently features cherry blossoms (lol).
