Trey Songz has arrived!!!!!After several successful mixtapes were released by the Virginia native, "Ready" is probably his best work on an actual album.
I happen to LOVE him now that he cut his hair, & I must admit that I was suprisingly satisfied with the "Anticipation" mixtape, and the name served its purpose, because I thoroughly anticipated his new release.
I figured that this one would bring the same sexually-charged yet mature tracks as the mixtape, and I was not robbed of that particular content. However, there are some other songs that are worth a listen. Many of the titles speak for themselves.
Immediately, I was hit with "This right here's a panty dropper", from the song of the same name. It is a good intro for the album and if the last line of the song is any indication, someone will "be making babies tonight". The next song, "Neighbors Know My Name", is a slow groove that implies exactly what the title suggests. Songz describes a passionate night where his "female friend" screams his name so loud that the neighbors can here. The same can be said about "I Invented Sex", which features singer/rapper Drake, and Songz makes some pretty blunt remarks about his "skills"...LOL.
The official first single from the album, "I Need A Girl" is creeping up the charts and tells what knid of woman that he is looking for and how he wants a serious monogomous relationship. Also, "One Love" is another more mature song in which he tells a woman that he thinks that she is the one.
Perhaps my favorite song from the album is "Does He Do It", a mid-tempo track where he asks if your man can do it like him. Again, this is one track that shows his confidence about his capabilities in the bedroom. I just love the way that he describes the way that he can love you and then basically says that your man ain't loving you right.
"Say Ahh" is a club-banger type of song that descibes a night at the club and how he tries to get a girl home. "LOL :-)" is not my favorite song from the album, because it features Souljah Boi & Gucci Mane...but anyways the song is catchy after all. Even though I wouldn't want to send any sexy pics through Twitter...now that needs an LOL :-)
"Ready To Make Luv" is sort of like an intro to "Jupiter Love", in which he compares his love experience to that of the largest planet. "Be Where You Are" is a suprising song to me because it is an up-beat dance song but I like how he describes how his dream woman would prepare to go out. "Successful" is the Drake song that he was featured on...it is a haunting beat that carries a deep message of their wants and needs.
"Black Roses" is another one of my favorites, and it was a BIG suprise for me that it was a rock-inspired song with deep lyrics about a break-up. I would hate to get black roses from a guy because that means that the love is "DEAD" :( "Love Lost" reminds me of Michael Jackson's "Human Nature", and he talks about how much ot hurts to not his love in his life anymore and how he took it for granted. Kudos for the Aerosmith reference of their hit, "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing".
Overall, I think that this is his best album to date, but I have heard some people say that his mixtapes were better. I think that they were too, but if you wanna go by just albums that were released, this is his best. I hope that the excitement for the record shows in the album sales because he deserves his spot in the forefront of R&B music. I enjoyed it & I will be buying it for my car :)
