His albums, thus far, have lacked the ingenuity and eclecticism of his freestyles and covers. But he has not given them the opportunity.

This adaptability is the reason he can successfully cover songs from such a wide gamut of genres.īrash, versatile, charismatic, and modern, Generation Y should be consuming Trey Songz in droves. Over MIA’s “Paper Planes,” for instance, Trey’s vocal stylings imaginatively vary from unhurried crooning to a frantic Dirty South flow to an Auto-Tuned Jamaican groove. His singing has a rapper’s flow about it, and his lyrics are filled with brash punchlines. But Trey blends spitting and singing with even greater subtlety. Drake, much like 808-era Kanye West and Lil Wayne, succeeds because he is a truly modern pop artist, effortlessly switching between rapping and singing. “Songz Medley” finds Trey enlivening Young Money’s “Every Girl,” Ciara’s “Never Ever,” and, most notably, Pleasure P’s “Boyfriend #2,” on which Trey as Lothario cleverly turns pain into pleasure: “My baby gotta have me, but she want to make you happy/ She was supposed to come over but she just wanna console you, and I just wanna do both you.” On “Death of Autotune Kellz,” arguably his finest track to date, Trey lightheartedly jabs his fallen hero: “This a farewell, throw em down the stairwell/ And if he wants to compare sells with old Kells that ain’t fair/ Well he’s a legend but I’m fresher, check out my dresser I’m such a dresser.”Įlsewhere, “Successful” features urban music’s brightest star, Drake of “Best I Ever Had” fame. A master of reinterpretation, Trey has put his distinctive touch on a variety of hip-hop and R&B hits. And it is on these “blogosphere joints” when Trey truly shines. Certainly effort has never been a problem for the hardest-working man in R&B, who releases freestyles and covers at a Waynian clip. Trey does not just want to be successful he really wants to be successful. The repetition is the first thing that hits you. In this plaintive lyric, we have a convenient jumping-off point for explaining Trey’s unfortunately fledgling career. “I just want to be, I just want to be successful,” sings Trey Songz on the latest single, “Successful,” from his third studio album, Ready.
