Trey's Day is HERE and He's READY!
They say the third time's the charm. And now this boy has become a man--sort of. After the success of his "Can't Help But Wait" off of the sophomore album "TREY DAY", Tremaine Neverson better known as Trey Songz to YOU, is back with his third album, "READY" on Atlantic Records, and I must say this is a record that everyone should own! He sticks to his formula of sex but doesn't stray too far away from love and heartbreak.
The album opens with the intro, and Trey lets it be known that this album is indeed a "panty droppa". Then the knock comes, hard with an R. Kelly-laced track titled "Neighbors Know My Name" one of my favorite tracks on the album. Trey proves that he might just be the one to take R's place in the R&B world. Newcomer Drake appears on two tracks, "I Invented Sex" & "Successful", respectively. The album only has a few uptempo cuts, including the first single, Stargate's "I NEED A GIRL" and "LOL :-)" featuring mediocre rappers Souljah Boy Tell Em and Gucci Mane. This is the only track the album could have done without but Trey quickly recovers and give you the "Ready to Make Love" interlude and "Jupiter Love", where he sings of taking you on an elevated trip, while still in the bedroom. "Be Where You Are" comes next, and it's one of my favorites off the album. Trey's syrupy sweet vocals ride over this beat so well and he actually makes you feel like you are there with him. "Black Roses" is a hard track produced by Bei Major where Trey tells us about a love that's now dead. He sends the girl a dozen black roses to let her know that it's over and done. "Love Lost" is another recommended track which has a melody that reminds me of Michael Jackson's "Human Nature". The album sadly but oh so perfectly ends with the Prince-inspired song "Yo Side Of The Bed" where Trey does it falsetto and shows his raw emotion like never before. This is an album I would have to give an A because it shows a side of Trey that I think a lot of us have been waiting for. The grown and sexy side. Get READY!
