Chris Brown Going Country?

R&B singer and alleged Rihanna beater Chris Brown is apparently thinking of including a country song called "Trapped In A Dream" on his next album.

Songwriter/producer Robert Allen, who's working with Brown on the record, told E! News earlier this week the track is being considered and "Carrie Underwood or someone like that" might be asked to join the singer on it.

Brown teamed up with R&B singer Ciara on "Turntables" on her new Fantasy Ride album.

Allen said he and Brown don't talk about Rihanna, who's also working on a new record and is rumoured to be romancing Canadian hip-hop artist and Degrassi: The Next Generation actor Aubrey "Drake" Graham.

"We just focus on music. We're just happy-go-lucky people who just get into the studio as much as possible."

Brown should cram as much studio time as he can into his schedule now because he'll have to contend with a different kind of cramming if he's sent to prison.
