Chris Brown Releases Graffiti Cover Art and "Crawl" Video Stills

The Chris Brown publicity machine is ramping up to get his career back on the right track following his domestic violence related criminal sentence. It looks like no significant missteps so far. The single "I Can Transform Ya" is climbing the charts, and there is a buzz already about the next, seemingly confessional, single "Crawl." Today Jive Records released the cover art for the new album Graffiti (shown at left). The album is due in stores December 15, 2009.

Today a set of production stills from the video for "Crawl" were also released. This image shows Chris Brown with singer Cassie. Video director Joseph Kahn told MTV, "It's probably his most personal thing he's ever done. I mean, everything that's happened to him in the year, I think this is going to be his big statement, in terms of what he's feeling and what he's living through right now."
