Trey Songz, released his fourth studio album September 14th , 2010 at the height of his Passion, Pain and Pleasure Tour. With his new hit single “Bottoms Up”, featuring Nicki Minaj tearing up the radio, the album fails to meet the same momentum. Remember when you listened to READY and instantly fell in love with every song? … Well, sorry to disappoint you, but this time it’s not the same case. Honestly I had to listen to it multiple times to distinguish the difference between most of the songs. Upon the first listen, a lot of the songs sounded the same. Excluding his two singles “Can’t be friends,” (which reminds me of the old Trey, from back in the day on JUST GOTTA MAKE IT; The Trey I fell in love with before every one jumped on the band-wagon) and “Bottoms up,” two songs did manage to catch my attention. “Love Faces,” which is mid-tempo, classic, freaky, Trey Songz at his best type of track. The other song was “Unusual,” feat Drake, which is more up-beat, and in my opinion, would have been just as great without Drake on it. Songz shows off a darker side to his music on “Unfortunate”, which tells the tale of an ex who initiated the break up, and is now with somebody even worst! All together it was a decent album at best, but a bit mediocre compared to his last album….I’ll give it a B- .
