Trey Songz - Heart Attack
Artist: Trey Songz
Producer: Benny Blanco & Rico Love
Album: Chapter V
Label: Songbook/Atlantic
Nausea, sweating, anxiety, palpitations, shortness of breath—all symptoms that a myocardial infarction can share with acute romantic despair. Trey Songz knows exactly what I’m talking about; on the latest single off his sixth studio album, the R&B heavyweight struggles with grief so severe that he’s not sure whether he’s experiencing heartbreak or a full-blown Heart Attack. Benny Blanco and Rico Love go for broke on the production tip, blending 8-bit synths and a downbeat rhythm section into a pop-appealing beat that nonetheless drips with emotion. Trey turns in a vocal performance to match, exhibiting genuine anguish as he narrates the slow decay of a relationship: “All the times I know I should be smiling, seem to be the times when I smile the most / Can’t believe that we’re still survivin’ / ‘Cause I’m slowly breakin’ down even when I hold you close.” Feeling this cathartic banger? You can download the record now via iTunes, or wait till summer and pick it up as part of the artist’s forthcoming Chapter V LP.

This is cool, but lets focus on Songz for a moment. I think everyone would agree that true R&B music - as a genre - is extinct. Singers are either working with club-ready pop tracks or hip hop production. Songz, though, has the maturity (now) and the vocal chops (always) to actually make a provocative, steamy, and Grammy-worthy R&B album. I hope before he is done singing we get one. He owes it to us - he is too talented as a vocalist not to do it.

This is okay, kinda boring though. I know that Trey Songz has the talent to make a better track than this.

This is a good choice for a "feeler-single" for the next album. The vocals sound even better and I'm sure his next album is going to be at least as good as the last.

Kinda boring, Trey can do much more than this. One of the few R&B cats left in the game and I get the feeling he is gonna stick to the pop club jams more than R&B.

I'm loving this song, I haven't a proper good song of late and this definitely a banging R&B tune to me.

Pretty predictable track. Doesn't really break any boundaries, its quite bland actually. But a decent song nevertheless.

I;m with Blaze, prefect choice to get his fans pumped for what's to come with his next album, not a huge fan of the track but I'm sure he'll connect with a lot of people out there with the lyrics

DJ Z I guess I see your point. R&B has declined both in sales and overall radio play. Yet, Trey manages to find ways to drop great jams like this one and still get some airplay so for that respect!
