Ne-Yo Confirms New Trey Songz Project

Ne-Yo Confirms New Trey Songz Project, Hopes For R&B Super Tour

Is Trey Songz heading back to the studio to record a follow up to his fifth studio album, "Chapter V"? While there aren't many details at this point, Ne-Yo is writing some things for the "Bottoms Up" and "Dive In" singer.

"I'm actually going in to write for Trey [Songz] in a little while. Me and Chris [Brown] been having conversations," Ne-Yo shared in a recent interview.

While new music from Trey Songz could be weeks or months away, Ne-Yo has something even bigger on his mind. He's actually hoping for a R&B super tour that would include top R&B male artists like Trey Songz, Chris Brown, Miguel and maybe even Usher on one bill.

"We were just recently talking about how it would be really dope if, like, all the guys in R&B just kinda got together, and did one tour together," Ne-Yo told ABC News. "But how realistic is it, you know?"

Trey Songz's 'Fumble'

After giving a teaser last week, singer-songwriter and record producer Trey Songz finally releases his new music video for "Fumble". The tender ballad is a cut off his latest album "Chapter V" released last summer.

The black-and-white visuals provide a melancholic backdrop to the 28-year-old singer's emotional rendition. The clip starts with Songz giving a heartfelt apology to his woman, owing up to his mistakes for their failed relationship, in a monologue that seems to read out of a love letter. It then pans out to a montage of his tours, where he is seen performing the song.

Songz's latest track is a perfect apology anthem, with lyrics as "I'm sorry that I messed up girl / I really love you, really really love you / Now that I know I love you / I'll never love another girl / And it's not your fault." His soulful vocals on the hook, "Should've let go of my past for you / You did everything I asked of you / Drive across the country if I asked you to / But I'm just bad for you / I fumbled your heart," is all the more made sentimental with the monochromatic treatment.

"It's basically a song about having the one person that'll do whatever for you, the one person that'll go to the end of the world and back, and you not realizing it until it's damn near too late," Songz explained. "It's essentially about having someone's heart in your hands and dropping it."

Trey Songz promises stellar Sumfest performance

 

Internationally acclaimed R&B singing sensation, Trey Songz insists that his Jamaican fans should expect nothing but the best during his upcoming performance at Reggae Sumfest.
Trey Songz will headline the first of two international nights at the ongoing Reggae Sumfest event in Montego Bay this Friday. The award-winning singer, known for singles such as Heart Attack and Sex A'int Better Than Love will be making his second appearance in Jamaica for a stage show; his first since the summer of 2008 when he performed at Temple Hall Estate in St. Andrew.
His debut showing in Jamaica drew little fanfare, despite showcasing a bill that included Assassin, Leftside and Yung Joc. However, on his second go-around in the island, Trey Songz insists that locals will be treated to a more mature and entertaining performance when he graces the Catherine Hall stage.
In an interview with the Jamaica Gleaner, Trey Songz intimated that, "I've had more experience onstage, I'm more of an international artiste now, I've toured the world, couple albums have dropped since then, a mixtape and I have a lot more new music. I have the same band, I have background singers, so it will be a more lively performance. I think it will be longer."
He added, "I am very much excited about performing on the Sumfest stage. It's a great platform. It's the first international night, so I look forward to representing my country well and very much being accepted by you guys. I love the culture, I love the women, I love the weather, the food, so I look forward to not only performing onstage but just being in Jamaica."
Meanwhile, to help ingratiate himself with Jamaican music lovers, Trey Songz implied that he'll be adding aspects of the island's culture to his performance.
"I am not a Reggae artiste, so it feels good to be called on. I will try my best to incorporate some of your culture into my set. I plan to sing my heart out and leave it onstage and no matter how big the audience is, I plan to make everyone in the building feel special and make it as intimate as possible," he said.
To his credit, Trey Songz does boast some familiarity with Jamaican culture; revealing that he had a Jamaican neighbor during his younger days who would cook him several foods revered in the island such as rice and peas, oxtail as well as curried chicken. The prominent singer also revealed that he had traveled to Jamaica for the first time at 17 years of age.
During this trip to the island, Trey Songz hopes to enjoy many of Jamaica's cultural benefits.
"I don't have anything planned yet. My life is so busy, it's hard to adjust from day to day. But I definitely wanna get into some water. I wanna get some good food and I wanna see some of the culture."
Meanwhile, Trey Songz continues to promote his upcoming studio album, Chapter V, which will be unveiled on August 21 which features a single, Ladies Gone Wild, produced by Dancehall/Reggae hit maker, Teetimus. Teetimus is renowned for producing recent smash hits such as Damian 'Jr. Gong' Marley's Affairs of the Heart and Bruk It Down by Mr. Vegas.
