Trey Songz premiered a full stream of his fourth studio album, Passion, Pain & Pleasure, last night. The album is being released only one year after the super successful Ready. So we went in listening with our feelings about the quick release and maybe because we anticipated a mediocre offering, that’s just what we heard. Just about everything sounded like B-sides to the tracks from Ready. It’s a shame Trey Songz’s and Co. felt they needed to rush-release an album to keep up Songz’s appeal.
BUT WAIT! There was a period of bright light on the album. That brightness would be the “Here We Go Again (Intro)” Those 40 seconds were repeated ten times back-to-back. We just could not get enough of the Jerren “J-Kits” Spruill production. Then today, were reading through the album’s credits and released that one of the album’s bonus tracks (was not included in the stream) was also produced by J-Kits. After searching the song, entitled “Love Me Better”, our prayers were answered as it was the FULL version of the intro. Passion, Pain & Pleasure may be dull but the intro and the bonus track more than make up for it.
Note: We are just diggin the hell out of those Rihanna “Run This Town” “ehhhh’s”
