HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Fans anxious to hear Chris Brown's new album Graffiti won't have to wait as long.

The 20-year-old singer has pushed the album's release date up by a week, with his third studio release now dropping on Dec. 8, according to a statement on his official Web site.

"I Can Transform Ya," the first single off the album, currently sits at No. 16 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart. The video for the song, which is Brown's first since pleading guilty to assaulting his former girlfriend Rihanna, debuted last month.

Brown also announced dates last month for his upcoming Fan Appreciation Tour. The brief concert trek will play small venues in 19 U.S. cities, beginning Nov. 14 at the House of Blues in Houston, Texas.
