24-year-old R&B singer Trey Songz delivers “Ready,” his third studio album in four years. Trey has quickly made a name for himself with a couple of hits and a countless amount of appearances on hooks. Songz’s third effort is a great mixture of R&B and Hip Hop slow jams showcasing Trey’s vocal talents. The artistic maturity shines throughout the album as well. And might I say that album cover is looking oh so right!!!
Guest spots are kept down to a minimum with Drake making two appearances, Fabolous coming through, along with Gucci Mane and Soulja Boy. “Neighbors Know My Name,” “Say Aah” and the knocking Gucci Mane and Soulja Boy collaboration “LOL
” are ultimately big favorites right off the bat. But the Drake-assisted “Successful” really speaks to what this whole album is about.
I am missing tracks like “Brand New” and “In Ya Phone” but “Ready” is definitely what’s up and it’ll be that album that I throw on late at night to chill to. Album in stores and online on MY birthday, August 31st, what a gift!
