Jul 1, 2014This is, no doubt, one of the most flagrantly lecherous commercial R&B albums of its time. It also has sharp hooks and slick productions to spare.
-
Jul 2, 2014Wild, yet well-delivered songs showcase Songz as a master of a now lyrically unrestrained mainstream R&B standard.
-
Jul 1, 2014Trigga isn't as cohesive as 2009's Ready, but it's a sublime, soulful convergence of the sonic minimalism and oil-slicked synths of today's hip-hop and R&B, and its sound provides a charismatic contrast to its almost anhedonic pursuit of pleasure.
-
Aug 14, 2014Along with the bright and clean production, replete with snapping snare drums, droning bass and floaty synth lines that don’t overwhelm the addictive hooks, Trigga becomes an endlessly accessible collection of bangers and ballads alike.
-
Jul 1, 2014There’s more reckoning with feeling, but it’s somewhat hidden.
-
Jul 25, 2014Trey Songz's sixth LP skates on the edges of modern hip-hop while remaining true to his R&B Lothario roots.
-
Jul 9, 2014Filled with lust, desire and sexual journeys, Trey Songz reaches an expected level of mainstream success with Trigga, and while safe is always encouraged during sexual acts, perhaps Trey could’ve taken a few more risks with this album.
-
Jul 3, 2014As sex-filled as Trigga is, typical bedroom R&B is no longer such a turn-on.... Nevertheless, Trigga is smooth and singable, with its share of gems.
-
Jul 1, 2014It might all feel a little mechanical, but Trigga does hang together, and has a seductive power that (one presumes) is befitting of the man himself.
-
Aug 19, 2014Until Trey adds another layer to his songs, whether it be humor, empathy or any emotion other than a caveman-like approach to sex; Trigga remains a hollow, if tempting prospect for men that may well woo your woman, but is unlikely to keep your attention after.
-
Jul 8, 2014Songz follows suit with these gratuitous songs about dominance and bedroom prowess. Unfortunately, he completely lacks irony and tips into caricature.
-
Jul 2, 2014Trigga is otherwise designed like a Hollywood blockbuster: squandered talent, obvious themes, and fleeting moments of creative excellence that stick among the clichés.
