Chris Brown, whose moves back toward responsibility include help from a Kennedy family member and a club tour that’ll be making its way to Fort Lauderdale, released the first video from his new LP Graffiti on Tuesday.

“I Can Transform Ya” plays off the Transformers films/toys/cartoons and is built around a minimal groove laid down by the producing team Swizz Beatz. Lil Wayne plays a huge role in the song and video, which has an expensive sheen thanks to the glittering work of Joseph Kahn.

To me, the song plays off an “Iko-Iko”-styled vibe and by itself is a lot of fun, as is the video. Whether or not Brown can get past all the travails of the last few months, that’s completely another matter.

Thanks for the tip, MTV News!
