{{Pruvincia 'e Rimini}}
''Heartbreak on a Full Moon'' is an [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] album, containing songs with different influences from other genres as well, predominantly from [[hip hop music|hip hop]]. Its sound has been described for the most part as [[Darkness|dark]] and soulful. The songs on the album are characterized by their raw, personal and explicit songwriting, showing every emotional aspect of what's been on the singer's mind after an heavy [[breakup]]. Its themes include [[regret]], love transforming into hate, the difficulty in managing emotions, the impossibility of getting over someone, and how a reckless lifestyle can't numb the pain of an heartbreak. Its lyrical content was inspired by Brown's breakup with [[Karrueche Tran]], happened in 2015 after they both discovered that the singer accidentally had a daughter with another woman. Although Brown was able to convince RCA Records of the album's length, they were initially hesitant.

The album received widespread acclaim from music critics, that celebrated the record's introspective lyrical content, as well as its lyrical and sounding concept, its length and Brown's performances, considering it as one of the most ambitious albums of its time. The album was defined by many as one of the best ones in Brown's catalogue.<ref name="theboombox.com">{{cite web|url=http://theboombox.com/chris-browns-heartbreak-on-a-full-moon-ambitious-audacious/|title=Chris Brown's 'Heartbreak on a Full Moon' [REVIEW]|website=The Boombox|accessdate=November 3, 2018}}</ref>

The album was anticipated by numerous snippets, that hyped the project's release since early 2016, by six official singles; including "[[Grass Ain't Greener]]", "[[Party (Chris Brown song)|Party]]", "[[Privacy (song)|Privacy]]", "[[Pills & Automobiles]]", "[[Questions (Chris Brown song)|Questions]]", and "[[Tempo (Chris Brown song)|Tempo]]", and the [[promotional singles]] "[[High End (Chris Brown song)|High End]]" and "[[Hope You Do]]".
 
==Background and recording==
The theme of the album was inspired by the singer's breakup with [[Karrueche Tran]], happened in March 2015 after they both discovered that he accidentally had a daughter, named Royalty Brown, with another woman, named Nia Guzman. Brown, after dedicating his seventh studio album ''[[Royalty (Chris Brown album)|Royalty]]'' to his daughter, decided that he wanted to make an album that developed over the subject of his [[heartbreak]] caused by his breakup with Tran.<ref>http://www.mtv.com/news/2096100/karrueche-responds-to-chris-brown-baby-drama/</ref>
 
Brown started working and recording tracks for the album a few weeks before the release of ''Royalty'', in late 2015. He continued working on the album during 2016 and 2017, also during two [[Concert tour|tours]], the European leg of the [[One Hell of a Nite Tour]] and [[The Party Tour (2017)|The Party Tour]]. Brown also built a recording studio inside of his house to record songs for the album.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.inquisitr.com/3717785/chris-brown-rihanna-karrueche-tran-painful-diss-track/|title=Chris Brown To Slam Rihanna & Karrueche Tran In 'Painful' Diss Track?|date=November 15, 2016|website=inquisitr.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.inquisitr.com/4014749/chris-brown-new-album-heartbreak-on-a-full-moon-arriving-before-party-tour/|title=Chris Brown New Album: 'Heartbreak On A Full Moon' Arriving Before 'Party' Tour?|date=February 26, 2017|website=inquisitr.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/chris-brown-is-building-a-home-studio-news.28634.html|title=Chris Brown Is Building A Home Studio|website=hotnewhiphop.com}}</ref> The recording sessions mostly took place in [[Los Angeles]] and [[New York City]]. The only record of the album that has been made before its actual making is the track "Bite My Tongue", which dripped over from his previous album ''Royalty''. The recording of the album eventually ended in August 2017, with "Rock Your Body" being the last one made for the project.
 
The singer, while working on the album, realized that he had done too many songs that he thought were quality records that followed perfectly the narrative of the album to make a 15/20 track album, so he decided that he wanted to take it to the next level by working it as a 40-track album. [[RCA Records]], the [[record label]] of the singer, initially wasn't agreeable of satisfying Brown's intentions to make a 40-track album, thinking that it would've damaged its commercial performance, but the singer ended up convicing them. Brown said about the album that he wanted to "outdo expectations" and "push the boundaries on artistry". Musically, the intention for the album was to explore different genres and styles, keeping a dark [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] sound that could've displayed Brown's performing malleability. Lyrically, the singer wanted to talk about "all the aspects that were going on in my life, during the complex period that i was living", declaring, during an interview with [[Nessa]] in November 2017, that "the subject matter and the substance behind it had to be sometimes clever and thoughtful, and sometimes fun and reckless" to let the music be "an embodiement of the person that i am now".
 
He explained the concept for the album in August 2017 during an interview for ''[[Complex (magazine)|Complex]]''. saying: {{cquote|I thought ''Heartbreak on a Full Moon'' was a depiction of what my soul wanted to say. It's funny because we're doing a double album. I've done so many records, but all of the records, to me, are personal favorites and I feel like it gets what I want to say across. It gives a vibe. You get nostalgia or you get a sense of individuality.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uk.complex.com/music/2017/08/stream-chris-brown-pills-automobiles-featuring-yo-gotti-boogie-wit-da-hoodie-kodak-black|title=Chris Brown Releases 'Pills And Automobiles' f/ Yo Gotti, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie & Kodak Black|work=Complex|date=August 4, 2017|accessdate=August 14, 2017}}</ref>}}
 
Brown said during an interview for radio [[WQHT|Hot 97]] that, in contrast to his precedent album ''Royalty'' which he described as a "representation of where i was in my life at that point", ''Heartbreak on a Full Moon'' would be his "artistry album", saying that the album would be his most personal one as well,<ref>https://senhoritadeise.com/2017/11/09/album-heartbreak-on-a-full-moon-chris-brown/</ref> explaining its lyrical content, saying: {{cquote|While making this album i was everything, i was ashamed, embarrassed, selfish, hateful, vindictive, but also sweet, loving, caring, vulnerable. I was sensitive. So on ''Heartbreak on a Full Moon'' i wanted to give my heart on my sleeve, depicting every single aspect of what i felt. Doing it through my art, i really had to push my creativity, i pushed myself to create the best story i could, with the most open introspections, using every face of my capabilities as an artist<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmDo_FJCJl8|title=Nessa Talks With Chris Brown About Falling In Love, Royalty & Being Positive.|work=Hot 97|date=November 13, 2017|accessdate=June 11, 2020}}</ref>}}
 
The singer said that his favorite record off the album is its last one, "Yellow Tape", stating that it was recorded at 8 in the morning, after a sleepless night of heavy partying, when he ended up alone in his studio. He described the song as a "reflection record about his worst struggles".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmDo_FJCJl8|title=Nessa Talks With Chris Brown About Falling In Love, Royalty & Being Positive.|work=Hot 97|date=November 13, 2017|accessdate=June 11, 2020}}</ref>

== Music and lyrics ==
''Heartbreak on a Full Moon'' is an [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] album, with a sound that has been described as dark and soulful, with songs like "[[Lost & Found (Chris Brown song)|Lost & Found]]", "This Ain't", "Nowhere" or "Paradise" representing it, and "horror-themed" in various songs such as "Pull Up", "Party", "Sensei" or "High End".<ref name="AM">{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/heartbreak-on-a-full-moon-mw0003116875|title=Heartbreak on a Full Moon – Chris Brown|last=Kellman|first=Andy|work=AllMusic|accessdate=November 11, 2017}}</ref> The album, keeping its sole sound, includes songs with different musical directions and influences, mainly from [[Hip-hop music|hip-hop]], but also from [[dancehall]] ("This Way", "Confidence", "I Love Her", "Rock Your Body", "[[Questions (Chris Brown song)|Questions]]"), [[Trap music|trap]] ("Sensei", "[[Pills & Automobiles]]", "[[High End (Chris Brown song)|High End]]"), [[soft rock]] ("Enemy", "No Exit"), and [[Pop music|pop]] ("Bite My Tongue", "If You're Down", "Frustrated").<ref>http://registerguard.com/rg/entertainment/36107202-67/album-review-chris-browns-45-song-album-not-the-skip-fest-youd-expect.html.csp</ref> Brown performances on the album often switch from his R&B singing to his rapping.
 
The songs on the album are characterized by their raw, personal and explicit songwriting, showing every emotional aspect of what's been on the singer's mind after an heavy breakup. Its themes include regret, love transforming into hate, the difficulty in managing emotions, the impossibility of getting over someone, and how he tries to escape his sorrows through a reckless lifestyle full of sex with multiple women, parties and drugs, then realizing how that behaviour can't numb the pain of his heartbreak. The album also has a couple of episodes where the singer faces themes of [[police brutality]] and dark side of [[Celebrity|fame]].
 
The lyrical content of the album starts with the opening track "Lost & Found", branching out in a plot that poetically and explicitly explains the bitter pain of the heartbreak caused by a woman dependent on the good life, being sung in perspective to the direct interested. The production of the song is dominated by a slow chord of a warm and atmospheric [[Bass guitar|bass]], accompanied by maliconic [[guitar]] chords and sporadic percussions. Brown's vocals in the song are proportioned to the emotion of the lyrics, by having a melancholic intonation in the first verse, becoming more demanding and aggressive in the second, ending with a third verse rapped in an [[auto-tune]]d aggressively sad way, where the voice effect suggests the absence of sobriety of the singer on whom his heavy words depend.<ref>https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/chris-browns-heartbreak-on-a-full-moon-a-complete-guide-news.39338.html</ref> Throughout the album the lyrics depict the pain of the singer reflected on his thoughts and feelings, and how he tries to escape it with [[parties]], [[sex]] and [[drugs]]. On the songs "Everybody Knows" and "Hurt the Same", the singer angrily accuses the woman he loved for being insensitive and ungrateful, making straightforward references to his relationship with Tran. He humbly apologizes to her ex-girlfriend for his actions that hurted her on songs like "Enemy", "Tough Love" and "Even", sadly reminiscing the best moments passed with her. On tracks like "[[Privacy (song)|Privacy]]", "To My Bed", "Covered In You", "Tell Me What to Do" and "Rock Your Body" he tells sexual adventures, approaching women in sultry ways.<ref name="AM"/>
 
On the mournful "This Ain't" the singer tries to have a love relationship with another woman, but realizes that their relationship is just sex with no love involvement. On tracks like "Sip", "[[Hope You Do]]", "Pull Up" and "[[Pills & Automobiles]]" he finds himself in intimate situations with girls, being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. On "Nowhere" he expresses his impossibility of getting over his ex-girlfriend.<ref name="AM"/> On "If You’re Down" he asks his loved one to turn her back on the complicated and frustrating things in life and instead decide to live in the moment with him embracing each other. On "Paradise" he looks back at the relationship with his ex-girl admitting that he treated and loved her the wrong way, understanding how he took her and their relationship for granted, and now that she left him, he's alone crying and desperately hoping to get her back, realizing that being with her was equal to living in paradise. "Run Away" is a story of two people in love that try to escape from [[police brutality]]. The whole song is response to police's violence aimed at unarmed [[African-Americans]] in the [[United States]], that also makes a reference to the “Hands up, don’t shoot” slogan that was created after the [[shooting of Michael Brown]]. On the cheerful "This Way" the singer thanks his ex girlfriend for leaving him when he wasn’t ready for the relationship to cease, because now he has found happiness in having sex with multiple girls every night.<ref name="AM"/> After all the details of what's been on his feelings and what he's done after his breakup, on the last track, "Yellow Tape", he reflects on how he can't handle no more his pain, and how he's tired of his excessive lifestyle full of fake emotions that can't numb his heartbreak, ending up killing himself.<ref name="AM"/><ref>https://clydeinsider.co.uk/heartbreak-on-a-full-moon-a-review-of-the-top-4-hits-on-chris-browns-new-album#.XuaD8UUzbIU</ref>

The album was widely acclaimed from critics. ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' reviewer Joseph Dankworth said that on the album "Brown digged deep into his most private thoughts, primarily the most uncomfortable and hidden ones, for an outstanding album that much likely won't be topped by any of his subsequent publications".<ref name="Rolling"/> ''[[Vice (magazine)|Vice]]''{{'}}s Michael Evans found "Rock Your Body", "You Like", "No Exit", "Paradise" and "Tough Love" to be its best moments, writing that "Usually Chris Brown is at his best when he sings about falling in or out of love. The lyrics are more poetic and powerful than when he sings about clubbing or sex. On this album whatever he sings, he blasts, if he's on an heartbroken song he pours his heart out, and if it's a druggy nasty sex song, you gon' feel the rockstar life".<ref name="vice"/> Craig Jenkins of [[Vulture.com]] said that the album is "one of the most ambitious albums of his era", implying that "the album's first disc mixes peppy, dirty sex jams with moody revenge anthems that engage some of Brown's most grating tendencies as a performer, while the second reckons more humbly with depression".<ref name="Vulture"/> ''[[The Register-Guard]]''{{'}}s Melanie Sims praised the amplitude of genres on the album saying that "Brown's sound has always been the sum of varying genres, each one sending him to the top of one chart or another. That said, with ''Heartbreak on a Full Moon'', Brown performs like a one-man streaming service, and he's got hits on every channel", also finding the record to be "introspective" and "deep".<ref name="Guard"/> ''[[HipHopDX]]'' editor Scott Glaysher called the album "incredibly long", praising the "mesmerizing horror-themed sound" of some of the album's songs, like "Pull Up" and "Sensei".<ref name="Hiphopdx"/>
 
[[AllMusic]] editor Andy Kellman called ''Heartbreak on a Full Moon'' "artistically conservative", ending up saying "There's depth. Among the better deep cuts is "Yellow Tape." A lurid rumination on the downside of fame, its foreboding hook has a lingering effect lasts almost as long as the album itself".<ref name="AM"/> Ariell Reed from ''[[University of New Orleans|Driftwood]]'' wrote that the album is "a painting as raw as charming of his journey through pain", praising Brown's performances and its lyrical production, stating that with the project "Brown has outdone every expectation".<ref name="Drift"/> [[The Boombox]] editor Prezzy praised the sound of the album, defining it as "a dark passionate mood", as well as its length, saying that "in an age where attention spans are shorter, simply having the gall to entertain creating an album with 40 songs on it takes a certain amount of gall, but Chris Brown defies the odds with ''Heartbreak'', an album that manages to maintain its high-quality despite the sheer quantity of music", stating that ''Heartbreak on a Full Moon'' "will go down among the most ambitious albums of its time".<ref name="Bomb"/> Cultural critic and media personality [[Joe Budden]] said, in his review for ''[[Complex (magazine)|Complex]]'', "This album has hypnotized me. If i found its initial 11 tracks as enjoyable jams, from "Everybody Knows" on the real spirit of ''Heartbreak'' gets sharper, and the album becomes one of the greatest things ever happened to R&B music. This album is unmatchable".<ref name="Budden"/>
 
==Commercial performance==
Despite being counted for only three days of digital and streaming sales, because of its release in the middle of the chart’s tracking week, ''Heartbreak on a Full Moon'' debuted at number three on the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], becoming Brown's ninth consecutive top 10 album on the chart, after selling 68,000 copies and earning 220,000 [[album-equivalent unit]]s within three days.<ref name="HOAFM Billboard">{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8023170/kenny-chesney-live-in-no-shoes-nation-billboard-200-no-1|title=Kenny Chesney's 'Live in No Shoes Nation' Is No. 1 on Billboard 200|work=Billboard|last=Caulfield|first=Keith|date=November 5, 2017|accessdate=November 6, 2017}}</ref> The album was Brown's seventh solo album to debut at number one on the ''Billboard'' [[Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums]] chart.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8031089/chris-brown-heartbreak-full-moon-number-1-rb-hip-hop-albums|title=Chris Brown Scores Seventh No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart With 'Heartbreak on a Full Moon'|work=Billboard|accessdate=November 13, 2017}}</ref> On November 8, 2017, ''Heartbreak on a Full Moon'' was certified [[RIAA certification|gold]] by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] for combined sales and [[album-equivalent unit]]s of over 500,000 units in the United States.

The good commercial performance of the album was based on [[Streaming media|streaming]], as explained by ''[[Forbes]]'' {{cquote|With 45 songs on its tracklist, ''Heartbreak on a Full Moon'' stands to collect quite a hefty sum in regards to streaming equivalent albums. Instead of 150 people listening to a ten-song record all the way through counting as one, Brown only requires about 33 people to hang on through the entire project. That's asking a lot, but it's not out of the question. Between his biggest fans and those who will put the piece on and let it fade into the background, it's highly possible that many thousands of people will stream the album in full, and those numbers will add up quickly.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2017/10/19/beware-chris-browns-new-album-and-the-precedent-it-may-set/|title=Beware Chris Brown's New Album – And The Precedent It May Set|first=Hugh|last=McIntyre|accessdate=November 3, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/garysuarez/2017/05/02/chris-browns-heartbreak-full-moon/|title=How Chris Brown's Coming Double Album Exploits The Streaming Economy|first=Gary|last=Suarez|work=Forbes|accessdate=November 3, 2018}}</ref>}}

==Legacy and influence==
The album's form was noted for changing notably the way [[Urban contemporary|urban]] albums were conceived, and several artists cited its songwriting and concept as an inspiration for their work. ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' credited the album for being "the album that marked the revival of double discs for urban artists", stating that "the unorthodoxy of its leghth summed with its high-quality and commercial success immediately changed the form of hip hop and R&B albums. What was unseen became nearly standard vision right the following year of ''Heartbreak on a Full Moon'' 's release, with albums like [[Drake (musician)|Drake]]'s ''[[Scorpion (Drake album)|Scorpion]]'', [[Migos]]' ''[[Culture II]]'' and [[Rae Sremmurd]]' ''[[SR3MM]]'' clearly copy-pasting ''Heartbreak'' 's form".<ref>https://www.rollingstone.com/pro/news/why-are-albums-so-long-right-now-203591/</ref><ref>https://www.businessinsider.com/drake-streaming-spotify-scorpion-apple-music-hip-hop-2018-8?r=US&IR=T</ref> In 2021, Jessica Mckinney of ''[[Complex Networks|Complex]]'' wrote that "the courage contained in Brown's long R&B masterpiece pumped up, for better or for worse, the ambition of black artists. the album officially signed a characteristic in todays hip hop, and that is proved by the fact that years have passed since 2017, and we're still getting albums like ''[[Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2]]'', ''[[Pegasus (Trippie Redd album)|Pegasus]]'' and ''[[Funeral (Lil Wayne album)|Funeral]]'' with tracklist filled with more than 30 songs. But ''Heartbreak'' still seems to be the only one with that length worthy of being called a classic".<ref>https://www.complex.com/music/albums-are-getting-too-long</ref> ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' suggested that "considering Brown's affection to rap, the album's shape might have been thought as an exaggeration of what classic albums like ''[[Speakerboxxx/The Love Below]]'' or ''[[All Eyez on Me]]'' were, or maybe he took it from something like [[Prince (musician)|Prince]]'s ''[[Emancipation (Prince album)|Emancipation]]'', but surely none of the album that likely inspired its structure changed albums' physique the way Brown's album did".<ref>https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/are-rap-albums-really-getting-longer/</ref>
 
Its musical style inspired various artists through its songwriting and dark sound. Some of the singers that cited the album as an influence for their work were [[August Alsina]], [[6lack]], [[Yung Bleu]], [[H.E.R.]], [[T-Pain]], [[Bryson Tiller]] and [[Billie Eilish]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDKmkOvJohU</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMeFbbmrHKo</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuL2rgf38IQ</ref>
