How cute, he named his middle and pointer fingers!Chris Brown's new "Deuces" is, musically, everything that a pop R&B song should be. The arrangement is spacious and varied, the melodies free-flowing and the form fluid. Additionally, the song features not one, but two genuinely well-done guest rap verses. Not only has Chris Brown's smooth R&B voice never sounded better, it has never had a better-suited vehicle.
The song sounds somewhat depressing on paper: Brown, Tyga and producer Kevin McCall take turns describing failed relationships. It is a bit mournful, but the song turns out to be more about making the positive decision to leave the relationship behind. The "deuces" referred to in the song are the peace signs the speakers are throwing up, telling the object of the song they're going to "peace out".
Sorry, turns out this song's not about poker
Even "Poker Face" wasn't about poker

Sorry, turns out this song's not about pokerAll in all, "Deuces" is a compelling listen, but I'm more interested in hearing what's next for Brown. Maybe he'll write a song about pocket aces. Seriously, why aren't there more songs about poker?

Catchy! Also, I'm extremely impressed with the flips and jumps and karate kicks Chris Brown does in the video. Are you sure that was really him?
ReplyDeleteI like the poker jokes! But the Lady Gaga song was ENOUGH about poker, card games, and bluffing that I WOULD categorize it as a poker song.
ReplyDeleteMaybe deuces refers to the kids he's going to drop off at the pool.
If Lady Gaga pokes her face, I bet Chris Brown will punch it! Zing, domestic violence joke!
