oh i pretty much just listen to either the first third or, more often, the last third of the new trey - def a bit too much for one sitting. he sounds like he pushes himself a lot more not to sound generic when he's being earnest - re: his lighter stuff, i don't dislike songs like "say ahh", and if i ever heard them on the radio i'd probably be more fond of them, but they're not that special.

everytime i hear "bottoms up" i feel like trey must have sheepfacedly went back to the lab after doing "say ahh" and been like "ok i probably could have been a bit less obvious about ripping off 'blame it'"
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 10:25 (thirteen years ago) link
hearing "say ahh" on the radio a bunch taught me to hate it. it reeallly doesn't hold up.

i think my problem with "can't be friends" is he's being a sleeze and trying to pass himself off as sympathetic. like...i have no problems with r&b dudes being sleezy as long as they kind of own it? but when they try to have it both ways it triggers my gag reflex.
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 10:30 (thirteen years ago) link
ha i have not paid enough attention to the lyrics of that song tbh
― gimme schefter (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 10:33 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah the last third of the recent album is very good

this strikes me as pretty real.
I think it's a great album.

"Can't Help But Wait" is great because Trey is the 2nd hammiest vocalist in R&B after Beyonce and it taps into that while still utilizing his young man swag -- the intro with the pew pew pew lazer gun noises and deadpan "check it out" leading right into those verses full of over-the-top vibrato and the ridiculous emphasis of lines like "you're worth MUCH MORE THAN THE OCCASIONAL I LOVE YOU!!!!!" that tension is missing from "Can't Be Friends," which is just pure pork.

ha i remember the first time i saw trey songz it was in the video for scarface "girl you know" and my first thought was like man that dude needs to get punched in his stupid smug face reaaaally hard....my second thought was goddamn scarface has gotten fat as hell.

can someone listen to ace hood 'sex chronicles the mixtape' for me and tell me how awesome it undoubtably is

I did, and it is indeed really awesome.

"Goon Sex" wasn't quite as good as the title promised, but "Sex Dance" is precisely as good as its title.

he sing it annoyingly imo
― some dude, Thursday, 24 March 2011 01:25 (thirteen years ago) link
i dare you to listen to it and not think he's singing 'making love feces'
esp when she dirties up the sheets
― dayo, Thursday, 24 March 2011 01:28 (thirteen years ago) link
"don't it feel good when i touch on it" has weird sexual predator connotations to me

i usually think of his ridiculous stupid vibrato as turning vowel sounds into R's "makin LRRRV FRRRRRCES"

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:

2005: "Girl Tonite" (Twista feat. Trey Songz) 0
This is a good song even tho MM is just singing Ready For The World. Dunno why I never repped for it earlier.
― raggett neds of your summer dress (The Reverend), Tuesday, 4 February 2014 05:13 (ten years ago) link
it was such a weird witless "Slow Jamz" retread but yeah not unpleasant per se.
the new Trey single where he sings "Fu-Gee-La" over a DJ Mustard beat, though, fuck that forever.
― scott c-word (some dude), Tuesday, 4 February 2014 12:06 (ten years ago) link
Ugh, I didn't realize that was Trey Songz. I still love this guy and I'm rooting for him to come back with something good, but man, his inability to resist low-hanging fruit

you say that as if it's actually as big as "Bottoms Up," though. he's never going to have a top 10 hit again.

If Robin Thicke and Jason Derulo can do it, I wouldn't count Trey Songz out.

― Evan R, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 15:53 (ten 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 (ten 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 (ten 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 (ten 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 (ten 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
