Primarily an R&B outing blended with pop and hip hop, Graffiti incorporates elements of goth rock, synthpop and Eurodisco, with its production showing a heavy usage of synthesizers. Its lyrical content has been described as two-sided, with its themes varying from remorseful regret, desire, affection and a playboy lifestyle.
The album debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200, selling 102,000 copies in its first week. In 2019 the album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[4] The album became his third consecutive top-ten debut in the United States following Exclusive in 2007, while producing two singles that has achieved moderate chart success. The album was considered to be a critical and commercial failure compared to the singer's previous works. [4]
Despite receiving generally negative reviews from most music critics, Graffiti was nominated for two Grammy Awards; including one for the Best Contemporary R&B Album and the other for the Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for the track, "Take My Time" featuring Tank.
