Like a lot of R&B singers, it doesn't take much for Songz to come across as a sleazeball, a cornball or an asshole. Chapter V really didn't have a good sense of where those boundaries were.

that album had TWO songs built around football metaphors. the Ty Dolla $ign-written "Fumble" was just the worst.

"heart attack" is his best single though (either that or "can't help but wait" imo)

"Heart Attack" is all time. Plus it's my fiance's favorite Trey Songz single; she's been talking about doing it at karaoke for ages.

Wouldn't be doing my duty if i didn't note that the new album is really, really good. A lot zippier and more club-minded than the last couple of albums, and save for a track or two it doesn't leave the sour aftertaste that other male-fronted Mustard&B does. And the Nicki track is going to be a great single

saw this mention of Trey in a Washington Post article on a great funky North Carolina family group called Brass Connection who have moved to DC and have been playing street corners:
Their first hot spot was Dupont Circle. It was there, they say, that R&B singer Trey Songz hopped out of a limo to listen. The crowd went wild. He put $500 in their bucket.

dang didn't even know he had a new album. I'm five tracks in & it feels pretty lifeless :/
― Evan R, Friday, 21 April 2017 19:22 (seven years ago) link
do you like that song, Evan?
― flopson, Friday, 21 April 2017 20:25 (seven years ago) link
Yeah it's sweet and breezy, though as a lead single it's kinda underwhelming. I know this board/people in general rip on A&R interference, but I'm kinda shocked his label let him release this album. So much B material, and it kills whatever commercial momentum the guy had
― Evan R, Friday, 21 April 2017 20:35 (seven years ago) link
I guess I'd rather hear the guy make a very low key R&B album than go full Derulo but still
