The main subject is Trey cheating on his girl. The lyrics on Trigga are sexually explicit, trademark of Trey’s discography. It’s something you would expect to find in a Justin Timberlake project. The best production on Trigga is “Y.A.S.” which starts as a down-tempo for the first 3 minutes and then it switches to a mid-tempo. There are other guests such as Nicki Minaj on “Touchin, Lovin”, Ty Dolla $ign on “Dead Wrong”, Mila J on “Disrespectful” and Juicy J on the trap-influenced “Late Night” produced by Mike Will Made It. Among the features there’s a nice collab with Justin Bieber, in a remix that reinvents the single “Foreign” and it makes it one of the best songs on the album.
You probably already heard the DJ Mustard-produced track “Na Na”, perfect for clubs and radios.
Anyway, if you miss that Trey, there are ballads like “SmartPhones” and “Mr. Some people from his old fan-base may not like it, but many listeners (me included) will appreciate this vibe. Plus, the songs on Trigga are more energetic don’t expect slow-jams like “Dive In” or “Love Faces”, there’s only a few of them on this album. At the first spin you can feel a different vibe compared to what you heard in his previous projects: the production on this album is the best we’ve heard in this genre in 2014. At the first spin you can feel a different vibe compared Trey Songz comes back 2 years after his last release with his sixth album “Trigga”. Trey Songz comes back 2 years after his last release with his sixth album “Trigga”. Vocals are great as always and his voice is the best it has ever been, but to me he isn’t singing the best that he can. While at the same time the album is a cohesive body of work and plays fluidly from track to track. The way he sings it in smartphones will make it impossible for you to feel badly towards him! SUMMARY: 20 tracks on the album, and every single one is great. The main subject and a recurring theme on the album is him cheating on his girl. But it gets really good halfway at Smartphones. It basically starts with the more up-tempo songs like Nana, Foreign, Touchin', Lovin', etc. I could go into talking about all the different songs but this review is already getting long. I prefer the songs on the second half of the album as I get more of a classic Trey Songz vibe. I particularly love the first track "Cake" and the last track "Sneaky" so the album starts and ends very well. Out of all 20 tracks on the deluxe version, not a single one is bad. Ty Dolla Sign is probably the weakest feature but his part is short so it doesn’t matter at all. Trey and Nicki together are always good and Mila J’s voice compliments Trey’s perfectly. Yes, even Justin Bieber (especially Justin Bieber) and Juicy J. Fingers crossed.) All of the features are great. It’s missing a few of the insane melodies and notes of Anticipation 2 but hey, it’s pretty hard to top Anticipation 2. His falsetto is perfected and this is no doubt the best vocals shown on any one of his albums. Everything has had lots of work put into it and it shows. The album has great production, vocals, and visual concepts. For me every one of Trey’s albums has been better that the last and this is no exception.
What artists do you know who can make their sixth album their best one yet? Not many. For me every one Trey has done it again with this one.
