"Turn Up the Music (Remix)""Turn Up the Music (Remix)""Turn Up the Music" by DJ Pauly D, is a song by singer and actor Chris Brown featuring Barbadian artist Rihanna.During that month, it was speculated that Brown would feature on the remix of former girlfriend Rihanna's single, "Birthday Cake". The rumors sparked media controversy, due to the fact that Brown was involved in a physical altercation with Rihanna at a Pre-Grammy Awards party in 2009. He later tweeted: "Let them be mad!!!! We make music. Don't like it, don't listen! Turn up the music remix is coming soon too! Guess who's on it?", a possible hint that Rihanna would be the featured artist. The remix of "Turn Up the Music", featuring Rihanna, premiered online on February 20, 2012, the same day the "Birthday Cake" remix, which features Brown, premiered. The remixes mark the first collaborations from the two singers since they last collaborated on the remix of Rihanna's 2007 single, "Umbrella".
The producers of Rihanna's "Birthday Cake" remix promised that her collaborator would be a shocker, and jaws dropped when it was revealed on Monday night that the mystery man was none other than Chris Brown.
Brown tweeted a link to the new music, along with a couple words from the blush-worthy track - "Cake, cake, cake!" - which Rihanna retweeted along with some additional lyrics, "#RihannaNavy Come and put ya name on it!!!!!" Brown also shared a link revealing that Rihanna had returned the favor, reuniting - at least on wax - with her former beau on a re-do of his Fortune single "Turn Up the Music."
Da Internz, who produced "Birthday Cake" along with The-Dream, had earlier denied that Brown would appear on Ri-Ri's revamped song. But the rumors that the collabo was happening only grew on Monday morning when Brown tweeted, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBYN!," to which Rihanna - born Robyn Rihanna Fenty - replied "Thanks!" It was the first time in a long time that the former flames had communicated directly with each other on Twitter. Earlier this year a judge eased a restraining order, allowing the pair to have contact with each other. Brown remains on supervised probation, however, after pleading guilty in 2009 to assaulting Rihanna, his then-girlfriend.
Though there've been rumors that Brown and Rihanna have rekindled their romance, Brown's rep has said that is in a relationship and not cheating on his girlfriend. One listen to Rihanna and Brown's verses on the highly suggestive "Birthday Cake" remix though, and speculation about whether the former pair are dating again is likely only to grow.
After much speculation about whether a possible Rihanna-Chris Brown music collaboration might be in the works, the former couple tweeted remixes to their respective songs on her birthday Monday...
Chris Brown wished former (and possibly current) flame Rihanna a happy birthday in a very public way: on Twitter. Not only did Breezy wish Robyn (Rihanna's real first name) well, he also released his 'Turn Up the Music' remix on her special day -- and she's featured on it. On the remix, RiRi sings the second verse and joins Brown on the hook. While it can be argued that their personal lives may not entangle well together, they certainly make good music together. The duo announced the remix on Twitter, with Rihanna posting the link with the message, "@chrisbrown Turn up the music remix #RihannaNavy #TeamBreezy enjoy!!!"
Brown's remix comes hot on the heels of a publicized possible reunion for the notorious volatile former couple. Brown and Rihanna reportedly spent four hours together in her dressing room during Grammy rehearsals and have been sending loved up tweets to one another for ages now. Rumors have been rampant since January that they've been hooking up on the sly -- something Brown's girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, denies.

The speculation built for days. Last week there were rumors Rihanna might release a remix to one of her songs and that Chris Brown would guest on it. Then right on cue, the day of her 24th birthday, Rihanna did it. She tweeted a remix to "Birthday Cake." Featuring a still-on-probation Brown.
"Something is not right with them," says Natalie Hopkinson, a contributing editor at The Root. "These are two deeply disturbed individuals that probably need to get off Twitter and spend some time on someone's couch, working it out."
Like many other writers online, Hopkinson wasn't happy with Rihanna and Brown's musical reunion. Headlines called the songs "stomach-turning" and "unbelievable." They critiqued Rihanna's song in particular, for its lyrics that blurred the line between pleasure and pain, and could be interpreted as alluding to Brown's assault of her.
"They're normalizing this incredibly abnormal and deviant behavior," she says. "And then on top of that, they're doing it for their own personal gain, their record company's personal gain, the bloggers' personal gain, the clicks, the page views."
But Maura Johnston of the Village Voice says we shouldn't rush to judge the singers. "I always am wary of attributing motives to people in pop," she says. "Especially now when you have ways that you can disseminate a persona that aren't necessarily your persona."
And disseminating personae is something Brown and Rihanna are extremely good at. Both are staples of the blogosphere, and each has millions of Twitter followers, who took to the duo's new music this past Monday with almost universal support.
One of those Twitter followers is Cherice McGlone, a sophomore at Howard University in Washington, D.C. For her, the duets were a sign of something more. "I feel like they've been back together for a while, but they're just now letting the public know. I'm cool with it," McGlone says. "I love black love."
"The main goals of the songs were money, publicity. 'Why not draw attention to my song, generate more revenue?' I would do it," she says. "Makes more money, you know? The public is gonna eat that up. Whether good or bad, the public is gonna be talking about it."
Rihanna's X-rated "Birthday Cake" and Brown's more radio-friendly "Turn Up the Music" hit our ears like little bombs, exploding with context. They are provocations, demanding response. Even listening feels like a weighted choice, and, for most of us, the experience will be defined by the stance we'd chosen before we heard a note.
Here's the history that led up to this moment. Chris Brown assaulted his then-girlfriend Robyn "Rihanna" Fenty on February 8, 2009. The muscular singer and dancer repeatedly beat her as she was trapped inside his moving car. He threatened to kill her. He bit her; he choked her. He only stopped when she screamed loud enough to wake observers.
Plenty of people washed their hands of this story after hearing details of the initial incident, and I think that's totally acceptable. I'm all for the general public ignoring "Birthday Cake" and Brown's much less interesting remix. Walk away from this relationship. Don't buy these songs. Turn off the television or radio when Rihanna and Chris Brown appear. Better yet, write your radio station and tell them not to play either of these remixes. Tell your daughters and sons that Brown is a brute and Rihanna is terribly misguided. If they push you, show them the sickening pictures of her bloodied face.
Brown, meanwhile, pled guilty to his crime and was sentenced to probation and community service. With help from his many music-industry friends, he continued his career. He's currently on the cusp of a comeback that included a recent Grammy performance and win. Throughout this period, he has expressed remorse, but also behaved in frighteningly belligerent ways toward those who question his good intentions. He's made some catchy music that doesn't show much self-awareness or depth of artistic character.
Rihanna, on the other hand, has not only gone on to become one of the world's most commercially successful entertainers, she also has embraced controversy by openly exploring her ambivalent feelings about Brown, and about sexuality in general. "Birthday Cake" isn't what disqualifies her from "role model" status. She's been something else for a long time, as her music has grown more sexually explicit, transgressive and politically incorrect.
The story [Rihanna] wants to tell is the one in which the endangered woman doesn't get out, or leaves for a while but comes back, or at best does leave, but can't resolve the mixed feelings she has about her choice.
The songs Rihanna has chosen to record, and has sometimes co-written, are not ones I play for my own daughter (though yes, she's heard them on the radio, and we've talked about them). They're rarely, if ever, feel-good anthems encouraging self-empowerment. Rihanna has basically abandoned such efforts, ceding that ground to her friends Katy Perry and Beyonce. Instead, she's entered into a space previously occupied by many blues women, country singers and girl groups, where women attempt to uncover the truth behind emotional violence, without necessarily comprehending ways to escape it.
