Originally scheduled for release six months after the release of Brown's fourth studio album "F.A.M.E." on March 22, 2011, "Fortune" was pushed back several times before it was finally given a release date in July 2012. The album's aesthetics feature an heavy usage of blue, suggesting a futuristic mood, that detaches itself from the graffiti imagery of Brown's precedent two albums. The music consists of R&amp;B and pop, containing elements of electronic music, while the lyrical content concentrates on sexual adventures, narcissism, clubbing and romantic love. The album received generally negative reviews from music critics, several of whom panned the lyrical content, though some critics were complementary towards the production. Despite its substandard critical reception, it was nominated for Best Urban Contemporary Album at the 55th Grammy Awards.
