Christina Milian f. The-Dream, “Chameleon” MP3

story Matthew Schnipper

This song has no hi hats. The intro with Christina Milian humming doesn’t have her gasps for air edited out. There are people yelling instead of big drums. I can be the biggest in the room, like an elephant/ I can be the quiestest, shhh, irrelevant. She whispers that last bit, then whispers on and off for the rest of the song. “Chameleon,” produced by Milian’s fiance (and final Vibe cover co-star) The-Dream has the super sparse skeleton of Cassie’s “Me N U”, and with Cassie going beefier in her song selection, maybe the upcoming Christina Milian album will further the sub-genre of simple, creepy R&B so deeply slumbering.
