In his lead single, “I Need A Girl,” Trey revealed a more vulnerable side as he longed for companionship through his description of an ideal partner. The album had an undeniably sexy undertone, but also its fair share of romantic moments.
Debuting at number three on the Billboard 200, “Ready” became a fan favorite, selling 131,000 copies in its first week and surpassing its predecessor, “Trey Day.”Įarning the artist multiple awards and nominations including a Grammy nom for Best Contemporary R&B album, three BET Awards - two for Best Collaboration and one for Viewer’s Choice - and a Soul Train Music Award for Best Collaboration, the well-received album garnered the crooner comparisons to R&B veterans such as Usher and R.Kelly both of whom he went on to work with throughout his career. It’s comprised of five singles, various rap features, and - for those who shoveled out a few extra dollars on the deluxe edition - three bonus tracks. The seductive album was expertly produced by Troy Taylor, Bryan-Michael Cox, Johntá Austin, StarGate, and Los da Mystro - among many others. And while I’m sure 19-year-old me probably shouldn’t have been singing along to the sex-driven lyrics, that didn’t hinder my obsession with the nearly hour-long masterpiece. Even quicker, I found out that it wouldn’t be long before Twitter timelines and Facebook statuses were flooded with quotable lyrics pulled from the top 10 album. I vividly remember where I was when R&B sex symbol, Trey Songz released his third studio album, “ Ready.” It quickly became the soundtrack to my fall semester as it blasted on repeat throughout my tiny two bedroom student apartment.
