The repetition is the first thing that hits you. Trey does not just want to be successful; he really wants to be successful. Certainly effort has never been a problem for the hardest-working man in R&B, who releases freestyles and covers at a Waynian clip. And it is on these “blogosphere joints” when Trey truly shines. A master of reinterpretation, Trey has put his distinctive touch on a variety of hip-hop and R&B hits. “Songz Medley” finds Trey enlivening Young Money’s “Every Girl,” Ciara’s “Never Ever,” and, most notably, Pleasure P’s “Boyfriend #2,” on which Trey as Lothario cleverly turns pain into pleasure: “My baby gotta have me, but she want to make you happy/ She was supposed to come over but she just wanna console you, and I just wanna do both you.” On “Death of Autotune Kellz,” arguably his finest track to date, Trey lightheartedly jabs his fallen hero: “This a farewell, throw em down the stairwell/ And if he wants to compare sells with old Kells that ain’t fair/ Well he’s a legend but I’m fresher, check out my dresser I’m such a dresser.” Elsewhere, “Successful” features urban music’s brightest star, Drake of “Best I Ever Had” fame. Drake, much like 808-era Kanye West and Lil Wayne, succeeds because he is a truly modern pop artist, effortlessly switching between rapping and singing. But Trey blends spitting and singing with even greater subtlety. His singing has a rapper’s flow about it, and his lyrics are filled with brash punchlines. Over MIA’s “Paper Planes,” for instance, Trey’s vocal stylings imaginatively vary from unhurried crooning to a frantic Dirty South flow to an Auto-Tuned Jamaican groove. This adaptability is the reason he can successfully cover songs from such a wide gamut of genres....full text |

| Trey Songz has been inconsistent his whole career. Some of his songs, like "Can't Help But Wait," off his second album, Trey Day are compelling, well-sung tracks that properly displaying his considerable singing talent. But for every great song of his, there's weaker tracks like "Wonder Woman," (off Trey Day) and "LOL :)" off his new, third album, Ready, which was released in the U.S. on Aug. 31, 2009. On Ready, Trey continues to straddle the fence between being a horny boy and ladies' man. The bad news is that he hasn't completely mastered the balancing act; the good news is that this is his best attempt so far. For more, check out the full review of Trey Songz' Ready....full text |

| If there is one thing musicians have learned, it is that controversy sells in the music business. Despite “song covers” over numerous artists’ hit records and issuing standout mixtapes to his fans in Genesis and Anticipation, it was Trey Songz’ “freestyle” over Jay-Z’s “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)” that caused the biggest firestorm. Calling out the legendary R. Kelly for an attempt at remaining relevant to the younger generation via the usage of auto-tune on his records, many listeners (both critics and fans alike) felt the young superstar had spoke beyond his means. Though it was only Trey’s attempt at lighting a fire beneath the legendary singer/songwriter, the self-proclaimed “Prince of V.A.” lacks the credentials to question R. Kelly and placed himself under an even larger microscope. Enter Ready as Trey Songz attempts to firmly stamp his name as one of the top crooners of our time… Tremaine begins his quest for R. Kelly-status with the aptly titled “Panty Droppa” followed by “Neighbors Know My Name”, a slow burner that oozes sexuality as the singer reflects on his sexual prowess and the effects it has on his lover (and her neighbors’s sleeping habits) during late night sexcapades. Young Money Entertainment’s latest signee Drake joins Trey on the mid-tempo banger “I Invented Sex” as one of music’s dynamic duos showcase their chemistry in their attempt to seduce the female gender. Famed writer Brian Michael Cox produces the beautiful ballad “One Love”, which features a touch of rock-influence and finds the singer contemplating commitment & monogamy while “Does He Do It” sees Songz questioning a young lady on the differences between himself and her current significant other when it comes to lovemaking. After dabbling in the art of steamy sex sessions and party tunes in the first half of his latest release, he returns to his roots and the key to a successful R&B record: love. Trey’s soft coos echo across Troy Taylor’s mellow backdrop on “Ready to Make Luv”, leading into the amazing babymaking gem “Jupiter Love” while the multi-faceted sounds of “Be Where You Are” showcase Songz’ freedom to experiment with different types of production. While fresh red/white roses signal courtship and the possibility of a blooming relationship, Trey explains that relationships end with the delivery of “Black Roses”, roses that signal the end of love or “a dying love”....full text |
