"WE (Warm Embrace)", also known by the simplified title "Warm Embrace", is a song by American singer and songwriter Chris Brown, released by RCA Records as the second single from his tenth studio album, Breezy, on April 1, 2022. [2] [3]
"Warm Embrace" is an R&B slow jam that contains an interpolation of Guy's 1991 single " Let's Chill". [4] [5] [6] According to Vibe the "romantic" content of the song "eases away from his recent trajectory of hyper-sexual music" being part of the crooner's "soft side". [7]
The song received critical acclaim. Mya Abraham of Vibe praised the track as "endearing", and stated that its sound is reminiscent of ’80s R&B. [7] Keithan Samuels of Rated R&B found the song to be "sweet-sounding". [6] HotNewHipHop called the song a "sensual slow jam", and complimented its "clever interpolation". [5]
The song's accompanying music video was released on June 21, 2022, and featured a cameo by American singer Normani. Additionally, it was directed by Arrad. [8] [9]
