'''''Indigo''''' is the ninth [[studio album]] by American singer and songwriter [[Chris Brown]], released on June 28, 2019, by [[RCA Records]].<ref name="Billboard">{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/amp/articles/columns/hip-hop/8518018/chris-brown-indigo-album|title=Chris Brown shares 'Indigo' album, with appearances from Lil Wayne, H.E.R. & Tyga: Stream it Now|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|last=Saponara|first=Michael|date=June 28, 2019|access-date=June 29, 2019}}</ref> The album marks his second [[double album]] and serves as a follow-up to his eighth album ''[[Heartbreak on a Full Moon]]'' (2017). Brown enlisted and worked with several producers, including [[Smash David]], [[Soundz]], [[Hitmaka]], [[Boi-1da]], [[Scott Storch]], [[OG Parker]] and many others. The album features various guest appearances by [[Urban music|urban]] and [[Pop music|pop]] artists, including [[Nicki Minaj]], [[G-Eazy]], [[Tory Lanez]], [[Tyga]], [[Justin Bieber]], [[Juicy J]], [[Juvenile (rapper)|Juvenile]], [[H.E.R]], [[Tank (American singer)|Tank]], [[Lil Jon]], [[Lil Wayne]], [[Joyner Lucas]], [[Gunna (rapper)|Gunna]], [[Trey Songz]] and [[Drake (musician)|Drake]].
The official recording sessions for the album began in August 2018 and ended in May 2019. The album's aesthetics feature a [[supernatural]] and [[Spirit (animating force)|spiritual]] imagery, conceived by Brown himself, and handled by graffiti artist Saturno, visual artist Jeff Cole, and [[3D modeling|3D artist]]s Circle Circle Math and Sarper Baran. Musically, ''Indigo'' is an [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] record, that contains genres such as [[dancehall]], [[Afrobeats]] and [[bounce music]] as well. Its topics focus on [[Philosophy of love|spiritual love]], [[Sexual intercourse|sex]], [[Energy (esotericism)|energy]] and [[Energy (esotericism)|vibrations]], outlining a positive turn that follows a bad period in a person's life.
The album debuted at number one on the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], making it his third number-one album in the country, and first in seven years, since ''[[Fortune (Chris Brown album)|Fortune]]'' (2012). Six official singles were released from ''Indigo'': "[[Undecided (Chris Brown song)|Undecided]]", "[[Back to Love (Chris Brown song)|Back to Love]]", "[[Wobble Up]]", featuring [[Nicki Minaj]] and [[G-Eazy]], "[[No Guidance]]", featuring [[Drake (musician)|Drake]], and "[[Heat (Chris Brown song)|Heat]]", featuring [[Gunna (rapper)|Gunna]]. "No Guidance" became the biggest hit from the album, peaking at number 5 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and topping the [[Rhythmic (chart)|Rhythmic Airplay chart]], until being unseated by the following released single, "Heat", at the top spot. In 2022, the song "[[Under the Influence (Chris Brown song)|Under The Influence]]", contained in the extended edition of the album, became a [[sleeper hit]], receiving great success internationally, and following its rose to success, the song was officially released as a single, roughly three years following its original release.
==Background and recording==
In December 2017, soon after releasing his first double-disc, ''[[Heartbreak on a Full Moon]]'', Brown started to work on new material.<ref name="nobink">{{cite web|url=https://www.rap-up.com/2017/12/05/chris-brown-previews-michael-jackson-inspired-song/|title=Chris Brown Previews Michael Jackson-Inspired Song|website=Rap-Up|access-date=May 4, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190503142755/https://www.rap-up.com/2017/12/05/chris-brown-previews-michael-jackson-inspired-song/|archive-date=May 3, 2019|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref name="nobink2">{{cite web|url=https://www.capitalxtra.com/artists/chris-brown/news/new-song-vampire-vibe-michael-jackson/|title=Chris Brown's New R&B Song Is Inspired By Michael Jackson & It Sounds Unreal|website=Capital XTRA|access-date=May 4, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190503142754/https://www.capitalxtra.com/artists/chris-brown/news/new-song-vampire-vibe-michael-jackson/|archive-date=May 3, 2019|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}}</ref> Later in the beginning of 2018 he worked on two collaboration mixtapes, that ended up never being released, one with R&B singer [[Jacquees]], and another one with rapper [[Joyner Lucas]], while still working on new songs for his next solo project, that was rumored to be called ''Indigo''.<ref name="rap-up.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.rap-up.com/2018/02/04/chris-brown-previews-jacquees-mixtape-collaboration/|title=Chris Brown Previews Jacquees Mixtape Collaboration|website=Rap-Up|access-date=May 4, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190503142754/https://www.rap-up.com/2018/02/04/chris-brown-previews-jacquees-mixtape-collaboration/|archive-date=May 3, 2019|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}}</ref>
The actual processing work of the project, after the drafting of its concept, began in August 2018, at the end of the "Heartbreak On A Full Moon tour", with "[[Undecided (Chris Brown song)|Undecided]]" being the first song composed following the idealization of the album,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/inside-track-chris-brown-heat|title=Inside Track: Chris Brown 'Heat'|website=Soundonsound.com|access-date=20 January 2022}}</ref> while a couple songs from the extended edition, dropped 3 months after the actual album, were composed during the realization of the previous album ''Heartbreak on a Full Moon'', with the song "Technology" made in 2016, and the song "Going At It" in December 2017. The album was fully recorded and mixed at Calabasas Sound in [[Los Angeles]], with the exception of "Undecided", being recorded and mixed at Brown's home studio, named CBE Studios.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://medium.com/@Vendajules/calabasas-sound-is-a-recording-studio-based-in-ca-usa-710ccbf81aa7|title=Calabasas Sound is a recording studio based in CA, USA|first=Venda|last=Jules|website=[[Medium (website)|Medium]]|date=12 September 2019|access-date=20 January 2022}}</ref>
Prior to its release the singer said that ''Indigo'' would focus on "energy, love, light, and happiness", saying that it reminded him of his previous albums ''[[Chris Brown (album)|Chris Brown]]'', ''[[Graffiti (Chris Brown album)|Graffiti]]'' and ''[[F.A.M.E. (Chris Brown album)|F.A.M.E.]]''.<ref name="personally"/> Brown explained the album's title during an [[Instagram#Instagram Stories|Instagram live]], saying:
{{cquote|text=The color indigo is a symbol of spirituality and inner awakening, and for the album I composed various songs entitled by colors that represent the emotion of those colors, for example "Red" represents anger, but the concept of the disc develops on the meaning of indigo. It's also connected to [[indigo children]], and that explains the [[supernatural]] mood of the album.<ref>{{cite web|title=Chris Brown talks about Indigo's title|url=https://genius.com/albums/Chris-brown/Indigo|website=Genius|access-date=June 6, 2020}}</ref>}}
== Music and lyrics ==
''Indigo'' is an [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] album, which tends to a slightly more [[Pop music|pop]] sound than its predecessor ''[[Heartbreak on a Full Moon]]'',<ref name="AllMusic"/> containing as well genres such as [[dancehall]] and [[afrobeat]]. Barry Walters of ''[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]'' found some songs of the album, such as "Indigo", "BP" and "[[Heat (Chris Brown song)|Heat]]", to be a merge of "classic R&B sound and stylistic, with late 2010s [[Trap music|trap]] influences".<ref name="urbanislandz.com"/> The album's sound in parts contains influences of [[tropical music]], where songs with [[percussionist]] sounds from genres like [[dancehall]], [[afropop]] and [[bounce music]] prevail, as in songs like "You Like That", "Juice", "[[Wobble Up]]", "[[Back to Love (Chris Brown song)|Back to Love]]" and "Lurkin'".<ref name="HipHopDX"/> ''[[Exclaim!]]'''s Mike Juliano noted on several tracks a "characteristic usage of [[Pitch shift|pitch shifted]] background vocals".<ref name="Billboard"/>
On the disc there are 4 double tracks, where there's a progression of different musical productions, and they are "Emerald/Burgundy", "Natural Disaster/Aura", "Trust Issues/Act In" and "BP/No Judgment".<ref>https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/chris-brown-reveals-the-amount-of-songs-on-indigo-news.79162.html</ref>
''Indigo'''s topics outline a positive turn that follows a bad period in a person's life, represented as the calm after the storm. In many parts of the album the singer describes how love, in his many forms, connects him to the enlightment of his [[spirituality]].<ref name="Inq"/> According to A.D. Amorosi of ''[[The Inquirer]]'', the album's themes mix spiritual awakening with [[Human sexuality|sexuality]].<ref name="Inq"/> ''Indigo'', being the follow-up of ''[[Heartbreak on a Full Moon]]'', leaves the raw and personal songwriting of that album, as well as its dark and sultry mood, for a way more lighthearted sound and tone, still having few introspective songs like "All on Me" and "[[Don't Check on Me]]" that give a closer look at Brown's trials and tribulations.<ref>https://www.complex.com/music/2019/05/chris-brown-hints-drake-on-upcoming-album</ref>
==Artwork==
The [[cover art]] for the album was revealed on May 14, 2019, along with the back cover. The front cover artwork was designed by graffiti artist Saturno and features a purple-haired Chris Brown's face in space, surrounded by fictional monsters and flying saucers, while the back cover, designed by visual artist Jeff Cole, continues the supernatural theme with a levitating body over a pyramid.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rap-up.com/2019/05/14/chris-brown-indigo-cover-art/|title=Chris Brown Reveals 'Indigo' Cover Art|website=Rap-Up.com}}</ref> The CD's interior illustrations were handled by [[3D modeling|3D artist]]s and [[Concept art|concept designer]]s Circle Circle Math and Sarper Baran, that worked over a photoshoot done by Jake Miosge, Brown's official tour photographer.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.soundsblog.it/post/576980/chris-brown-indigo-cover-tracklist|title=Chris Brown: il 28 giugno esce il suo nuovo disco Indigo (cover e tracklist)|date=19 June 2019|website=Soundsblog.it|access-date=20 January 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/sarper-baran-mn0003854780/credits|title=Sarper Baran | Credits|website=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=20 January 2022}}</ref>
===Meaning===
Artist Saturno explained in 2021 the meaning of the front cover that he made for the album, saying: "When Chris Brown commissioned me to do this cover he was very clear about wanting to convey "[[Indigo children|The Indigo Generation]]" as the concept, including crystal glass as title letters. I had some understanding of the subject before, but it was not until then that I began to research it more in-depth. On the cover, you can see [[Consciousness|human consciousness]], [[religion]], [[Power (social and political)|political powers]], [[greed]], [[indoctrination]], obsolete [[education]], and [[Enlightenment (spiritual)|new era awakening]]. I placed [[Pisces (astrology)|Pisces]] and [[Aquarius (astrology)|Aquarius]] constellations, in order to show the change of cycle or change of era. You can also find a mythological being with armor that represents the superior intelligence, sending information of the universe and us as being the receivers. The codifier that society needs for its evolution. Aliens in flying saucers representing the consciousness of the indigos as evolved extraterrestrials, advanced consciousness capable of feeling and seeing the world in another way and acquiring that knowledge of the universe. 1950 the second generation, [[11:11 (numerology)|11:11]] the number of the angel and the awakening of the conscience; these are just some of the elements that I wanted to explain. All of the details and figures of the artwork are connected to that world and have a meaning".<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CWG5l-krR8v/</ref>
==Release and promotion==
In December 2017, Brown showed that he was working on new songs teasing a "[[Michael Jackson]]-inspired" song on his [[Instagram]] profile, filming a video from his studio and playing the song supposedly called "Vampire Vibe".<ref name="nobink"/><ref name="nobink2"/> During the first months of 2018 he posted some snippets of new unreleased songs, showing that he was working on a collaboration mixtape with [[Jacquees]], on another collaboration mixtape with [[Joyner Lucas]], and on his album, rumored to be called ''Indigo''.<ref name="rap-up.com"/>

On June 10, 2019, Chris Brown announced an official headlining concert tour where he performed the album throughout United States, titled "Indigoat Tour". The tour began on August 20 in [[Portland, Oregon]], at [[Moda Center]], and ended on October 19 in [[Anaheim, California]], at the [[Honda Center]]. The [[opening act]]s for the tour were [[Tory Lanez]], [[Ty Dolla $ign]], [[Joyner Lucas]] and [[Yella Beezy]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.chrisbrownworld.com/just-announced-indigoat-tour/|title=Just Announced!

===Reception===
Jay Cridlin of ''[[Tampa Bay Times]]'' said that the concert was "a guilty pleasure", wondering if enjoying his stage presence should be wrong, considering the controversies surrounding his public figure, expressing "At what point do we -- can we, should we -- forget about the blowups and restraining orders, and just marvel at the way Brown splits into a backflip and kick-spins a 360 during ''Drunk Texting''?".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.tampabay.com/arts-entertainment/music/2019/09/01/review-at-chris-browns-concert-in-tampa-a-reflection-on-his-place-in-cancel-culture/|title=Review: At Chris Brown's concert in Tampa, a reflection on his place in cancel culture|newspaper=[[Tampa Bay Times]]|access-date=20 January 2022}}</ref>
The tour was considered a success, grossing over $30,100,000 in its 37 shows, selling out most of the venues, and being the third most successful hip-hop tour of 2019, after [[Travis Scott]]'s "[[Astroworld – Wish You Were Here Tour]]" and [[Eminem]]'s "Rapture 2019"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pollstar.com/article/pollstar-2019-year-end-special-142982|title=POLLSTAR 2019 YEAR END SPECIAL|website=Pollstar.com|date=January 2, 2020 |access-date=20 January 2022}}</ref>

Trent Clark of ''[[HipHopDX]]'' praised the album for its sound and the numerous collaborations, especially with H.E.R. and Drake, but criticized its long duration.<ref name="HipHopDX"/> In a positive review, ''Urban Islandz'' wrote that the singer "elevated himself to R&B king status" with the album.<ref>https://urbanislandz.com/2019/06/28/chris-brown-elevate-rnb-king-status-indigo-album/</ref> ''[[The Inquirer]]'' while reviewing ''Indigo'' stated that: "Brown knows how to craft cleverly innovative soul and market his notoriety".<ref name="Inq"/>
Andy Kellman of [[AllMusic]] stated that "Not quite as extravagant as the preceding ''Heartbreak on a Full Moon'', Chris Brown's tenth album is merely two hours in length. That still allows more than enough space for the singer to sufficiently cover each one of his modes. Pleasure-seeking club tracks, entitled slow jams, tormented ballads, and yearning pop-R&B love songs -- the last of which still match up best with his voice, virtually unchanged during the last decade -- are all plentiful."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/indigo-mw0003288582 | title=Chris Brown - Indigo Album Reviews, Songs & More | AllMusic | website=[[AllMusic]] }}</ref>
