Details: Amazon.caIf you’re not feeling the first single off Trey Songz’ Trey Day, don’t give up. « Wonder Woman » is an acquired taste of a track whose techno beats won’t sit right with those expecting straight-up R&B. The good news is that, despite some show-offy rap walk-ons and a little over-the-top R. Kelly-style lewdness (see « Grub On, » in which our guy seduces his short-order shawty with the line, « Here’s a tip/You can be my IHOP–you hop on top of me, I’ll hop on top of you »), Trey Day trots out some gorgeous love songs and lines up top-tier Kelly-, Usher-, and Ne-Yo-reminiscent vocals with the kind of production you’d expect from a far more experienced artist. While the poppy standout « Missing You » pours sweet sentiments into a vocorder, though, the album’s more traditional ballads will win over the soft-hearted with plain old well-executed prettiness. « We Should Be, » for example, a Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis composition, throws off sparks no 22-year-old singer should be able to set free. But Songz, proving he’s an artist well worth punching your credit card numbers in for, lets them rip handily. –Tammy La GorceProduct DescriptionThere are entertainers who sing for their people and then there are singers who speak for their generation. Stevie spoke for hearts and souls; Marvin crooned for his country; Fela sent the rhythm of Africa abroad; Curtis gave the ghetto a voice. Artists come a dime a dozen, but a spokesman for the masses who’s been bestowed with a voice from the heavens, once every generation. With Songbook/Atlantic Records R&B blessing Trey Songz, the first generation to come of age in the 21st century has one they can claim as their own. The anointment of the Petersburg, Virginia inspiration will be solidified with his second collection, the emotional joyride entitled TREY DAY. Spanning a sonic spectrum, the album bathes in waves of chord colors (reminiscent of Jodeci’s DIARY OF A MAD BAND), with Trey’s pen painting so vividly it could pass for a crayon. Much of this lush production comes courtesy of some of the best producers in the business. To note a few: Dre and Vidal, Danjahandz, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and Troy Taylor, who signed Trey to his Songbook Entertainment imprint in 2003 and produced the lion’s share of his 2005 debut, I GOTTA MAKE IT.
