This offering sets him apart from other acts and may secure his spot in the canon of bedroom crooners.
-
This is as entertaining and frivolous as a one-night stand should be.
-
Songz has really developed as a vocalist since his debut, and he’s more elastic and uses his falsetto judiciously. He’s clearly got a sentimental streak, though.
-
He takes cues from R. Kelly, slyly mocking the self-parodying excesses of boudoir R&B while supplying the utilitarian goods: the sumptuous vocal harmonies and sultry beats upon which long nights beneath ceiling mirrors depend.
-
While Ready is far from a perfect album, it seems Trey is learning how to inspirit his original works with the charm and inventiveness found in his freestyles and covers.
-
What’s maddening and frustrating is that Trey has put out enough great material this year to make a truly brilliant album.
