‘Animal’ is a very dynamic song by Trey in which he sings about animal-like love-making. With this new album by Trey Songz coming out, maybe that taste the world once had for good R&B music will return. It seems like nowadays everybody sings, and for some backwards reason the masses are gravitating towards the rappers that sing as opposed to the singers that sing.
If only Songz had filled out Tremaine the Album with such stronger fare, it would be an LP worthy of bearing his name.Can I go ahead and state the obvious? R&B music like Trey’s has been a bit underappreciated by the masses as of late. "What Are We Here For" is even more laudably bold thanks to its eccentric, futuristic instrumental, and "Picture Perfect" is lyrically refreshing, as Songz describes a girl that makes him earn her affection. "1x1" has a much more textured, catchy instrumental than most of the album's other tracks, sporting hooks and lyrics that, while by no means deep, are at least worth singing along to (which can't be said for many of these other songs).
Thankfully, a few cuts rise above mediocrity. The 32-year-old, Virginia-born crooner whines about "Still kissing girls I don't love / Still stumbling out of the club," over an equally forgettable beat on "Playboy," and also boasts about "having sex with my number one fan / So why am I so nervous?" over bubbling synths and cushy keys on - you guessed it - "#1Fan." Worse still is "Nobody Else But You," which has an upbeat tempo but is still somehow monotonous, almost sleep-inducing. Trey Songz's latest LP is full of such juvenile clunkers. Instead he sings: "We do it, we don't need no music." But anyone hoping that he'd follow that line with the sort of deep introspection that he seems to be alluding to will be disappointed. "This ain't a models or a bottles in the club R&B song," Trey Songz declares on "The Sheets…Still," a midway track with a skeletal instrumental off his eponymous new LP, Tremaine the Album (his birth name is Tremaine Neverson).
