He is questioning himself as to why he’s still “stumbling out of these clubs/Still I’m so hard to trust/Don’t know why I’m still a playboy”. Trey is pleading very convincingly without saying much at all, which makes this song perfect for a lover’s day playlist if you’re into that or if you’re someone who appreciates the early 2000s RNB slow jams (like me).Īs the album progresses Trey continues to give us that soulful sound we are used to from him in “Playboy” which is track five on the album. We even get some beatboxing towards the end of the track. Trey’s vocals are riding on a synth piano with female vocals accompanying him in saying, “I want you to come over”. Utilising his raspy and sultry vocals, Tremaine is asking his love interest to “Come Over” on track two. The album starts off very slow and sensual. The songs do speak for themselves so let’s get into a few. Hence this fifteen track project, although sensual and sexual from the visuals to the lyrics, Trey is sharing his dilemma: wanting to please his family and settle down but also not wanting to feel like he has rushed into a commitment he is not ready for. Trey mentioned in his interview with The Breakfast Club that “the songs talk about how hard it is to be in love with one woman in the music industry and be myself”. In the videos for the singles I previously reviewed “Nobody Else But You”, “Playboy” and “Song Goes Off”, Trey has been surrounded by beautiful women attending to his every desire whilst he attempts to maintain his relationship with the woman he loves.Īccording to Trey, the songs and videos are reflective of his struggle to settle down in real life. Nothing wrong with utilising shock value as a marketing strategy. Trey definitely turned heads and possibly even got the attention of those who were into reality television but may have never been checking for his music prior.

The minisode music videos were five in total and all featured on the site, here. Trey was creative in his promotion of Tremaine… by misleading us into thinking he was launching his own reality show, Tremaine The Playboy, with VH1. The self-titled playboy, Trey Songz, finally released his latest project, Tremaine The Album, Friday (March 24).
