Futuristic Romeo and Juliet story is packed with Michael Jackson influences

As announced earlier today, Chris Brown has a new single coming out. Called “Fine China,” it’s the first single off the album “X,” which should be out later this year, and it just got a brand new visual companion.

Check it out in full above.

Playing out like a modern Romeo and Juliet story set in the future (notice the Tron-like guns and buildings), the video is packed with Michael Jackson influences, both audio and visual.

Come to think of it, this shouldn’t really come as a surprise considering that Chris has always been very open about his love and admiration of the late King of Pop, even saying that he would include his trademark moves and sounds on this particular record.

As I said earlier today, Chris was on Matt Lauer the other day to promote the single – and he also talked about how the 2009 Rihanna assault changed him.
