As Alicia Keys, Lyfe Jennings, and Cassidy can tell you, the most opportune time for an artist to switch up his or her style is before their junior album. Following in their footsteps is singer Trey Songz, who has likewise gone through a recent image renovation that includes the shaving off of his signature cornrows (his new look is not pictured to your left, but will be seen in a photo/video shoot later this week) for his upcoming third album, Ready. When it comes to his musical style, however, Trey knows better than to fix what isn’t broken; on the first official single, he gives away his number (stop the Mike Jones comparisons) in hopes a lady will put it In Ya Phone. Providing the production are Troy Taylor and E. Miles’, whose work sounds like a combination of Jermaine Dupri and DJ Toomp. In a nutshell, Trey Songz once again hits the bullseye with In Ya Phone; a fact which will soon enough be reflected on the charts.
Trey has really emerged as a leader of the R&B industry. I wasnt a big fan of his early work, but this has officially converted me. This is a playful, fun track with energy and great vocal quality. The beat has be bouncin a lil bit in my chair, and I love when anything besdies hip hop can give me that feeling. Solid track, waitin for more outta Trey.
I take back my whole comment, after i turned my speakers up and listened to the Whole song, Trey killed it, Do me a fav. and erase that comment and rating plz and ty lol.
This one will have to grow on me. I can sense a remix with Jeezy and Joc commin. That damn signature yodel is terrible trey. I prefer Jada's AHHAAAA! Over that sound patna.
To comment of Trey's early work...it was genius. He's since then sort of blended in with the rest of the R&B artists as far as sound and content. He's still my favorite male R&B artist never the less...though this isn't topping "Gotta Make It". This song sounds pretty good, but also pretty cliche. I hope to hear some unique joints from Trey on this new "Ready" album. I was just listening to the "Missing You Remix" featuring Drake earlier today. Now that's a hot track. I'll throw this in rotation and I hope that Trey comes with a hotter single and that he doesn't let his long term fans down. I also hope Drake (from the T.DOT!) makes an official appearance on this album. Oh, BTW, to comment on the engineering on this track, the vocals don't seemed to be mixed well and I can hear static at some points. But overall, it's a solid average track from the prince of the V.A.
This has good production right here. The chorus is decent, doesn't really sound that hot. I like most of Trey Songs tracks a lot more than this...even his features usually have more substance. I think radio stations will love it; so it can go in rotation I guess.
Trey Songz has grown into more than an exceptional R&B artist. His knowledge in the business has greatly increased as heard in this song. Great vocals n a feel-good beat.
when i first heard this song in i think July? it was just a snippet. It was just the first verse, and i thought the song was HOT and 2 weeks later, i hear the rest and i was highly upset because it didnt live up to the beginning. but i had to get used to it. and i did.
i agree with justo above me...The first album was a banger but the second album wasnt a big deal to me..Lets hope Trey gets back into it the swing of things, this is a good start
Great song... I knew this kid would be great when he first came out and he continues to shine even with all that r&b competition out there....love his style.
This is a banger. Trey is definitely goin for radio play with this one. But isnt that what singles are for anyway? I been a Songz fan since Gotta Make It, he is the best R&B dude out here in my opionion. He jus aint promoted right. Hopefully that will change with this album. I've heard other songz that maybe on the album and he is singin his ass off.
Trey has been helping everyone else out in the industry, so it's about time he re-focused on helping himself. Without a doubt, Trey is one of the most promising up-in-comers the R&B world has the offer. This isn't a logical step forward in his work's maturity, but its rock solid catchy.
Thatdudean u crazy...he is incredibly hot, with or without long hair! Anyway the song is good, catchy and cheerful, but seeing the high ratings I expected better. He sings well as always, but he has done better! To me his best collabo ever is that with the German rapper Raptile, in the song Missin' Ur Kisses...wonderful! This is in rotation
Please tell me why a dude is commenting on how another nigga looks??? But anyway, his work has matured and if you want to hear it, go on youtube and type in, "Murder She Wrote", "Love Song" and u see for yourself.
Nothing 2 Say,I was thing the same thing. Trey is talented, but his track is boring. Sounds like he was going threw the motions and doesn't have any of the fire he usually has.
This is a nice radio-friendly pop/R&B offering from Trey who has come along way in recent years. This sounds like a bit of a sing-along. This reminds me of the new Jessie McCartney "Leavin", odd but it has that same vibe and feel. Nice Song though
word to J Worthy..i wuna see him wit out the braids..
but this is not typical trey...usually he delivers it i AM NOT as disappointed with him (bLoWs RaSbErRyZ)
(michaelhannah)....i totally agree wit u....i love trey when he first came out...like his first album was amzin...his voice was soooo much more soulful...now he is really jus blendin n wit otha artists....its like he has da wrong ppl on his team tellin him wat to do...like i always say, his mixtape stuff is his best music....
I Love him. Trey is my BABY. I would love to put his number in my phone. LOL A black s550 damn I need him in my life. I think of my self as a good girl but I will be bad, nasty, and dirty for Trey. Men he can get it any where and any time. I will learn 20 different language just for him so I can make love to him in 20 different ways speaking them languages. LOL
I think this alum will be big on the radio for the high schoolers. Its not a bad song, but its just not my style. I can see how some would find it catchy, though, which is why it gets a 3.
chyeah i like this!! i think the version with Fabolous is the official one because it sounds mastered, this one is quite inconsistent. Booth will prob feature it soon anyways
