As much as I have developed inappropriately deep feelings towards this man over the last couple of years...and, as much as he has got me through rather a few cold, lonely nights...and, as much as I find this extremely upsetting.... I have to admit - I'm just not impressed with his latest offering. 0_0
Mr Songz has the right idea in getting woman-of-the-moment Nicki Minaj to feature on the album's first single "Bottoms Up." However, he is completely overshadowed by her brilliance. It's not a bad effort, but there is something about the video which is slightly uncomfortable...he seems to spend the whole time avoiding dancing. If you can't move and your club tracks are average, then there is simply no point competing with the likes of Neyo or Usher, or God forbid even Jason Derulo 0_0.
My three faves are "Can't be Friends" "Please Return My Call" and "Made To Be Together" - These songs are Trey in his element. Dripping with emotion, and showing off his superb vocal range they represent why he has had such staying power and why he is the best at what he does best. But - as good as these songs are - I see no evidence that he has grown or improved since "Ready."
Despite it's mediocrity, however, all is not lost as there will be plenty of loyal fans who will ensure decent sales for Mr Songz and plenty demand for another album. Yet, this was such an important release, and it seems so rushed. Shame.
Gonna play it non-stop though....sorry flatmates.
Peace out.
