 Trey Songz became a bonafide star last year. He released no less than six singles that turned his third album, Ready, into his commercial breakthrough and, due to their sexual nature, solidified his position as the pre-eminent sex symbol of his generation.But it was clear by the end of that run of singles that Songz was at a crossroads: either continue in the lane that he had created for himself as a young horndog or try something else. Ready’s singles were huge, but they also threatened to obscure Songz’s vocal gifts and turn him into a one-dimensional pinup boy who throws a good party. For many of us who had been following him since 2005’s I Gotta Make It, it wasn’t clear which choice he would make. Clearly staying in that horndog lane would make him money and satisfy his base of fans who like Party Trey, at least for a while. And doing something else entirely, particularly something more melodic and thoughtful, is a real risk for a young man who, let’s remember, broke through on his third album at a time when the industry isn’t investing in artist development the way it used to. If you’re Trey Songz, you might be thinking you have to prove that Ready wasn’t a fluke. So give Songz credit for making an album that is still very much a Trey Songz album, but deepens, expands, and complicates what it means to be a Trey Songz album. Passion, Pain & Pleasure finds Songz as horny as ever, but expressing that horniness with a batch of songs that is supremely well-crafted and well-written. Nearly every song here is beautifully arranged and is built around his increasingly effective voice. “Love Faces”, “Massage”, “Red Lipstick”, and “Doorbell” are as notable for Songz’s newfound attention to the pleasure of his woman (rather than his own) as they are for a newfound strength in his singing. Each song has a beautiful melody and Songz rides the tonal and rhythmic shifts with impressive agility, particularly on “Massage”....full text |

| It took him four albums to do it, but on his latest release, Passion, Pain & Pleasure, Trey Songz has managed to record an album that's enjoyable from beginning to end. Unlike his first three releases, this album's musical and vocal quality are consistently good from track to track, and Trey actually sounds like a full-grown man now. Passion, Pain & Pleasure, released in the U.S. on Sept. 14, 2010, is strong, romantic album on which Trey, seemingly for the first time, sounds completely comfortable in his dual roles of R&B sex symbol and creative young artist.

| Trey Songz Passion, Pain & Pleasure CD Review – Trey Songz New Album – RnB singer Trey Songz released his 4th studio album, “Passion, Pain and Pleasure” on the 14th of September, with the music industry hoping it can spike sales after a record weekly low last week. A preview of a few songs off the album was given to UStream last month as a teaser for fans, as well as surprise calls to some lucky ones who got to hear his CD first. As seems to be usual now for many artists, some of his songs were leaked on to the internet, which he gave a little acknowledgement to by saying “Shout out to everybody who didn’t listen to the leaks,” he said. But the singer brushed off the premature release of some of his tracks, adding, “Bootleggers gotta eat. I ain’t mad at y’all boys.” Much of his lyrical content has to do with pleasure and passion, not so much pain. With lyrics like “wouldn’t it be nice if all night I was in you?” from ‘Love Faces’, and “That thang cold, y’all, that thang cold,” in the same song, women all over the place are going to be driven wild and saying how smooth the RnB singer is. Despite its overtly simplistic theme the album is pretty decent and could mark a transition in Songz’s career. This is probably his most complete work so far, it showcases a lot growth and definitely more maturity. The production here is stellar, the vocals although not groundbreaking are interesting, things only get shaky when lyrics are in play. There is room for improvement lyrically for this young star in the making....full text |
