Chris Brown has made his first song since pleading guilty to assaulting former girlfriend Rihanna available online.

The track, entitled 'I Can Transform Ya', is currently streaming on the US R&B star's website.

It features guest appearances from the rappers Lil' Wayne and Swizz Beats, and is thought to be the first single from Brown's forthcoming album.

As previously reported, the singer was given five years' probation and ordered to do community labour for attacking Rihanna in February.

An LA judge told the star he would also have to attend domestic violence counselling and stay at least 100 yards from Rihanna for the next five years.

Brown has repeatedly apologised for the assault, which took place hours before the Grammy Awards.
