The snaking rhythms are just as remarkable as the hypnotic synthesizer textures.He may have a couple of Top 10 albums in the US under his belt, but Trey Songz has never managed to make an impact on these shores. Chapter V song from the album Chapter V (Deluxe) is released on Aug 2012. Nevertheless, with R&B's recent spike in popularity, can the Petersburg crooner finally break through to become a fully-fledged international act? His fourth studio album Passion, Pain & Pleasure peaked at number 167 on the UK chart, despite containing fan-fave hit 'Bottoms Up'. The success of current single 'Simply Amazing' indicates that Trey is certainly heading in the right direction. Soft guitars and a pulsing beat partnered with the star's smooth vocal and romantic lyrics form a mushy mid-tempo ballad that will seduce many a swooning teenager. Lead track 'Heart Attack' further reinforces Songz' ability to command a stadium-rousing anthem, while conveying love-crushed despair ("I never knew love would hurt this f**king bad"). That said, Trey's charm quickly evaporates after listening to sex-swamped cuts 'Panty Wetter' and 'Hail Mary'. Despite slick production and a roaring guitar solo on the former, Songz referring to himself as a "Panty Droppa" is unintentionally comical, while the latter is a by-numbers, hip-hop affair with a Lil Wayne verse sexually crude enough to make the most avid Fifty Shades Of Grey fan wince.
What's more, regardless of the addictive 'Pon de Replay'-inspired beat on '2 Reasons', Trey's sole interest in "bitches and the drinks" comes across as utterly repellent. Chapter V is the fifth studio album by American R&B recording artist Trey Songz, released on August 21, 2012, by Atlantic Records.It was produced by several record producers, including Troy Taylor. However, he does claw back some esteem on reflective ballad 'Bad Decisions'. The Rico Love-penned track thrives on a stripped-down production as Trey contemplates his past foolishness that we've presumably just been put through.
