It’s a masterclass in dynamics: The verses are restrained, almost anxious, building tension until the chorus explodes into a wall of major-key euphoria. "Beautiful People" arrived just as EDM was crossing over into the American pop mainstream (think David Guetta, Afrojack). It bridged the gap between the club rat and the Top 40 listener. It also gave Chris Brown one of his most universally loved late-era hits—a track that, for three minutes and forty-seven seconds, silences controversy and focuses only on the dance floor.
