If you're not feeling the first single off Trey Songz' Trey Day, don't give up. "Wonder Woman" is an acquired taste of a track whose techno beats won't sit right with those expecting straight-up R&B. The good news is that, despite some show-offy rap walk-ons and a little over-the-top R. Kelly-style lewdness (see "Grub On," in which our guy seduces his short-order shawty with the line, "Here's a tip/You can be my IHOP--you hop on top of me, I'll hop on top of you"), Trey Day trots out some gorgeous love songs and lines up top-tier Kelly-, Usher-, and Ne-Yo-reminiscent vocals with the kind of production you'd expect from a far more experienced artist. While the poppy standout "Missing You" pours sweet sentiments into a vocorder, though, the album's more traditional ballads will win over the soft-hearted with plain old well-executed prettiness. "We Should Be," for example, a Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis composition, throws off sparks no 22-year-old singer should be able to set free. But Songz, proving he's an artist well worth punching your credit card numbers in for, lets them rip handily. --Tammy La Gorce

3.0 out of 5 stars Rap in R&B, October 2, 2007

By 

Shamontiel L. Vaughn "Message from Montie" (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Trey Day (Audio CD)

If you liked R. Kelly's new album, chances are you will probably like the beginning of this album. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling R. Kelly's latest album because of lyrics like "I almost called that girl a b---- again." I like R&B that's R&B, not melodic rap. Too many times on Trey Songz's album, he did more rapping than singing, especially at the beginning. I kept looking for standout songs like "Gotta Make It," but I came up short on this one. Can he sing? Definitely. Do I like his voice? Love it. Was I satisfied with this album? Not really. The lyrics were elementary (listen to "Grub On" and "Wonder Woman"), sometimes offensive (like the one above), and I wish he'd stop rapping altogether. All the rap guest appearances were NOT necessary. When I want to hear rap, I'll listen to rap. When I want to hear hip hop, I'll listen to hip hop. But I wanted this album to be like his last, where it was a LOT of soul and emotion and less time trying to be as hard as possible. However, when he started SERIOUSLY singing and you could tell the veins were showing in his neck, that's when I was like "Finally! There's the Trey I was waiting to hear." And when he did "Store Run," I gained so much more respect for him. It's not often that you hear ANYBODY, whether rapper or singer, talk about getting protection before they do the do. "Store Run" gets five stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Oversexed Underdeveloped Teenager., August 13, 2008

By 

D. Baker "Blackworm" (Suffolk, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Trey Day (Audio CD)

It's been awhile since I've done a review, (at least since I moved from Virginia Beach, VA to Portsmouth, VA), so here goes. I know Trey isn't a teen anymore, but the latest cd of his makes him a cast member of the American Pie movies-all sex and no substance. This suprises me because his first cd was on point and made me want to purchase this one-or maybe it's just the age difference between us that make me look for more. Each and every song was about some form of sex-rough sex, submissive sex, kinky sex, so forth and so on. I don't have a problem with it unless that's all that you have to offer. To be such a talented young man, this offering was pointless and empty. I won't totally give up on him, but I will listen to several tracks in whatever store has those automatic earphones first before I spend anymore money on him again.

3.0 out of 5 stars This day is a tad 'beneath him'..., April 19, 2010

Trey Songz has the voice of a god. I mean, the man can sing. I don't think anyone should even try and refute that very obvious fact. I personally felt that `Ready' was a very solid album. From beginning to end it worked very well.

`Trey Day' is not as fortunate.

I still like this album and have no problems listening to it from start to finish. Even the songs that I'm not that fond of don't get `skipped' by me. I put the album in and let it run its course because Trey has a way with working with his material. He is always engaging, even when his songs are less than rewarding.

Trey, much like Jamie Foxx and Robin Thicke, has one thing on his mind; making love. I don't have a problem with this when the subject is explored with dignity or at least some imagination (I wouldn't say that Thicke is very dignified, but he is far more creative than Foxx, which makes him appear less tacky). Songz managed to make his yearnings palatable on `Ready', delivering swoon worthy tracks that elicited something inside our stomachs that made us gyrate to his every word.

He delivered an album of music to make love to.

Sadly, `Trey Day' delves too far into tacky territory. Instead of giving his words some dignity he stoops to near offensive dialog that ruins the swagger he was born with. Sure, every song on this album `sounds' good, but that doesn't mean they are good songs.

`No Clothes On', `Grub On' and `Store Run' are just kind of ridiculous. I know that some praise Trey for singing about protection, but I found the song almost laughable. I mean, good job by I don't want to listen to you sing about it. `We Should Be' is just too sleepy. He sounds impeccable, but the production is almost too old and just doesn't work for the direction of the album.

I like `Sex For Yo Stereo', even if it is really self indulgent. `Can't Help But Wait' has a nice bounce to it, but it doesn't really pop the way I wanted it to. `Missin You' is a pretty good song despite the obnoxious techno vocals on the chorus.

I just want to say that I like the way that Trey `smooth raps' a lot of this album. He has pipes, but he also has flow and I appreciate that.

Despite the overall `fare' vibe to the album, there are still five tracks that are really, really good.

`Role Play' may be kind of tacky, but it is sung with such conviction, and the beat is slick and sultry. You can't help but `get ideas' when listening to this one. Besides, that opening `question' is just, well...you get the picture. `Long Gone Missin' opens the album, and some have a problem with the themes and some of the lyrics, but I found them authentic and realistic. You love the one your with, but that doesn't mean there aren't times when you want to wring their necks. The beat is infectious and Trey's vocals are on point, both when he's rapping and when he's singing. I love the beat to `Fly Together', and the collaboration with `Jim Jones' is complimentary. They really craft a memorable and likable track. It has swagger. `Last Time' is the best `slowjam' on the album. Trey sounds great, and his flow is stunning here.

But, the best is without doubt `Wonder Woman'. I love the slick beat that accompanies this track, and the flow that Trey possesses as he works his way through this track is just amazing. It may not be the deepest song (I mean, nothing on this album even comes close to his work on `Ready') but it has presence and it is ravenous in tone and texture.

I'm captivated.

In the end, I recommend this. Sure, I only gave it a C, but I had high expectations and I know he can do better than this. That said; his voice is unmatchable really and deserves your attention.
