Finally, we'll have a more expanded story on Trey Songz on Tuesday, but for today, we had to bring the origins on his now-signature "Yuuuggghhh!" ad lib. You've heard it on his songs and you've heard it on records he's not even on, like Drake's "Best I Ever Had." Where did it come from?

"It just came about," he said recently in his new hometown of Atlanta. "I'm a fool, really, in the studio. I said it on one record. I don't remember what record it was on first. Then I started going places and people would do it. That's when I knew it was something that was catching on. Now I gotta do it on every song."

The Weeknd thread is reminding me how great the Anticipation mixtape is, but I actually prefer the showboating, Apollo-rocking Trey Songz of Passion Pain and Pleasure over Anticipation's eerie, man-in-space act.

My favorite song on the album is probably its most over-the-top. I love how it cycles through so many conflicting moods and emotions yet brings them all to this great resolution:

I bet the album will be good.

Evan R, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 15:53 (nine years ago) link

he could have a pretty strong Greatest Hits collection at this point but i can't imagine getting hyped for a Trey album. the last one was trash outside the singles.

some dude, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:12 (nine years ago) link

yeah i didn't like the last one at all

his sound isn't interesting to me at all, i find his albums to be weirdly greyscale. got good singles sometimes of course.

le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:17 (nine years ago) link

Passion, Pain & Pleasure is a back to back classic in my book; that one never lets up. I have no idea how he went so wrong with Chapter V, though. Terrible album.

Evan R, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:22 (nine years ago) link

trey songz doesn't strike me as one of the r&b dudes most concerned with creative control, his label probably just thought he'd reached the limit of his market potential and didn't give him the best songs

looking back at PPP... i wonder if trey is the only artist to have a drake feature on a song not produced by 40 and a 40 song that doesn't have a drake feature on the same album

le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:36 (nine years ago) link

i get the opposite impression, i think he has a hand in the writing of most if not all of his songs and has a very strong sense of his sound and his 'brand,' whether i always like the results of not. xp

some dude, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:37 (nine years ago) link

Yeah, I think Al's right. If you look at PP&P, he was the primary writing credit on nearly every song, which is probably why that was such a coherent, vaguely classicist R&B album. On Chapter V, he has almost exclusively secondary writing credits. That's probably why that album is such a scattered mess; there was almost certainly some label meddling going on there

Evan R, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:42 (nine years ago) link

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.

Evan R, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:45 (nine years ago) link

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.

one month passes...

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
