I think we can all agree to say that there’s some kind of shortage of male R&B singers around the world. I mean those romantic guys who songs fill your heart with love, sing about things they want to do to you, legal and illegal.
The men who believe in love regardless of the price of petrol. Guys who want to scream from the highest building and about how madly and silly in love they are. Those guys are still alive and no, not on Eddie Zondi's playlist but even on our shores.
R&B has said to be one of the most honest genres in the world, true. We've all sang along to the cheesiest songs but still account to them as greatest hits. Come and gone those artist, paved way for artist like Trey Songs. Yes he may not be as cheesy as The Temptation but in the modern world, he is our sunshine on a cloudy day and when its cold outside, you sing along to Tremaine.
Known for his signature, sultry voice, Tremaine Neverson aka Trey Songz has had the typical career breakthrough. Born in Petersburg, Virginia, with no hopes of being a world renowned singer, actor, songwriter and producer, he and many have changed the modern day R&B. He had no idea he would plucked on some teenagers wall or finding himself on the Billboard charts.
First album didn’t reach targets that one would hope for. Never mind the collaborations with chart-toppers like Yong Joc, Marcus Houston, Twista at the time, the album didn’t reach its maximum potential with the crowd. Trey didn’t give up, it was his second studio album, "Trey Day" that got the industry's attention.
His album, included hits like "Can’t help but Wait", "Last Time" and "Wonder Woman" and that was just the beginning of somewhat the new generation of R&B. Trey's following work included other collaborations with Gucci Mane, Fabulous, Toni Braxton, Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Lil' Wayne and many others, which his or others projects. Although he's a man of soul, he still recorded and released mixtape, rapping.
Yes, he is nothing like The Ojay's, The Jackson Five, R Kelly or Mr. Stevie Wonder but Treys mesmerizing voice, songwriting skills and delivery to all of his work is just beyond. His good looks and those amazing lips and breathe taking eyes make "Mr Steal Yo Girl" the perfect ending to any night, dance-floor, bedroom or fantasy.
