Trey Songz: 'Some Dance Songs Are Amazing, Some Are Bulls**t'
The 'Heart Attack' singer has managed to maintain a classic R&B sound throughout his career, and while he has recorded some club bangers, Trey says he isn't keen on jumping on the bandwagon like artists such as Usher and Flo Rida.
"I'm not too big on following trends. Some dance songs are amazing, I think some of 'em are bulls**t. I'm not here to diss nobody, that's corny. I don't think it's all bad that some people are doing dance music," Trey exclusively told TaleTela in a recent interview.
"I love a lot of dance songs, they can be made great. But when it gets to the point that every song on the radio is a dance song, all of 'em can't be good.
"So I don't want to be caught up in the nature of jumping out of the window to do something just because it's a trend. I would rather sustain my place in the game with authenticity and try to do what it is I do, and if I do step into that world, have something about it that still makes it my own."
Do you agree with Trey's thoughts on the dance trend? Check out the video for the rest of Trey's answer...

Rico Love talks about working with Trey
BILLBOARD: You've also worked with Trey Songz on his latest single "Heart Attack." How was it working with him? RICO LOVE: Trey is a friend. Trey is one of the coolest, most humble, and funniest people I know. I'm just happy about the relationship I'm building with him. He was open to a lot of the suggestions I had. At times he can be more hands on in terms of doing the song. But he was more open to what I had to say. It's doing so amazing at radio. I think it's going to be one of those crossover records he hasn't had in his career.

Trey admits "wishing" He Was Dating Kelly Rowland
The crooner recently released the music video for his new single 'Heart Attack,' which stars Kelly as his leading lady, fuelling rumours that they are romantically involved.
However, while he claims they aren't together, Trey did gush about the stunning singer exclusively to TaleTela.
"It's definitely platonic, I wish it wasn't. She's amazing and I joke around with the idea of that, but all in all she's such an amazing friend," he told us.
"When she steps into a room, she makes the whole room glow, and she just has a spirit about her that she's really kind and she's always the same person everytime you meet her."
Sounds like Trey's a little bit smitten! Do you think they'd make a hot couple?

Men In Black 3 And Chernobyl Diaries
After last weeks abysmal twofer of The Dictator and Battleship, I was sorely in need of a cinematic pick-me-up. It was with much trepidation then, that I waded into a contiguous double feature of Chernobyl Diaries and the long gestating MIB3. Would one film I knew virtually nothing about coupled with one that's been painted as an out of control disaster be capable of wresting my film lover soul from this interminable case of the early summer blahs? The answer surprised me quite a bit.
I make it a point of pride to give most any horror film a shot theatrically. Even middling ones can weave a sort of wicked alchemy on the senses in the darkened environs of the local multiplex. Case in point: Last August, while recuperating from a nasty bout of sudden cardiac death, I had a marvelous time with a matinee viewing of the much maligned Apollo 18. While nowhere near groundbreaking, it had a magnificently creepy Lunar/outer space setting and did an admirable job building an evocative mood of escalating dread. The bottom line is, I thoroughly enjoy the craft behind producing a solid scare show and much like the disposable RKO programmers of decades past, this kind of fare hits a sweet spot for me.
Chernobyl Diaries has dropped out of the polluted sky with a paltry couple months heads up. I saw some short ads before Cabin in the Woods back in April, but they were slim on plot points and more or less disappeared with the film they preceded. That worked splendidly in this films favor. Unlike Prometheus, the trailer for which I'm fairly certain (as someone who goes to the theater one to two times a week) I've been watching for better than half of my adult life, I wasn't walking into Chernobyl Diaries with exhaustive knowledge of the entire films narrative structure up to and including the finale. How refreshing to not know the exact nature of the menace, sequential order of the set pieces and the shocking conclusion! So, it was with diminished expectations and a willingness to give in to its moody, murky vibe, I sat down to a 9:20am showing in a theater dead empty save for myself.
After the most perfunctory setting of stages I may have ever seen, Chernobyl Diaries gets down to business and gets the goddamn job done. There are some regrettably poor performances by the two male leads and its reliance on atmospheric suggestion over visceral thrills may grate to some, but I must confess to getting a little wrapped up in this one. It has the feel of an inexorable nightmare. Things get exponentially worse as the dwindling cast is swallowed up, one after the other in this awful maze of radioactive decay and tragic sadness. There is a palpable sense of loss and isolation hanging over the proceedings, no doubt exacerbated by my sitting alone in an empty theater while viewing it.
Even though I comprehend this picture is no great shakes and I'll likely never revisit it, it had a profound effect on me theatrically. I was leaning forward in my seat, fully invested for its brief duration, soaking in the production design, loving the lighting and setting. Special mention should be made of the excellent score, a droning, esoteric slice of creepy minimalism. A standard horror film it may be, but it plows ahead with grim determination and should be applauded for playing it straight with such a potent premise and under-utilized location.
After guzzling from this toxic ocean of despair, Men In Black 3 proved a perfect palette cleanser. From washed out ennui to frothy, colorful fun, I can't imagine a more complimentary and diverse double feature. Now I'm no MIB nut, mind you. I enjoyed the first one a great deal and remember almost nothing of its sequel. I wasn't exactly clamoring for this decade-in-the-making continuation of the franchise. I'll tell you what I always am excited for though. Rick Baker practical effects supported by top of the line visual effects. This film is a veritable buffet for monster kids and sci-fi weirdo's. The eye candy on display here is gleefully reminiscent of and on par with the troll market sequence in Hellboy 2. If that last sentence meant anything to you, you have a pretty good idea if this movie will appeal to you.
It doesn't hurt that the story is a breathless bit of time travel bologna that manages to inject new life into the series by mischievously playing around in another era. Compounding this welcome aesthetic energy is a tremendous Josh Brolin, brilliantly aping Tommy Lee Jones. He makes the K character more fun, likable and interesting, not to mention doesn't strain credulity as much during the action. It was a treat to remember how charismatic Will Smith can be when carrying a film. Maybe more movie stars in his league should take a few years off here and there, only to come back like this and remind us why we fell in love with them in the first place. Throw in a surprisingly intimidating villain turn from Jermaine Clement and you've got yourself a damn fine slice of impressively produced escapism.
I saw this in (L)IMAX 3D and would recommend doing the same if you're going to bother. The sound design is a cacophonous delight of quirky mayhem that was overpowering music to my ears coming out of that top notch surround system. The 3-D is up there with the best I've seen. The time jump sequences and vertigo inducing finale particularly stood out as worthy of the up-charge, but the lack of eyestrain, consistent semblance of depth and overall brightness of image render me incapable of proffering any real complaint. If studio's insist upon foisting the gimmick on us, this is the only acceptable level of presentation. It added a lot of fun to the film and made it an actual experience, as opposed to a post converted insult. It might have had a troubled production and bloated budget, but MIBIII hits theaters looking like 250 million bucks and ready to entertain.
These two films gave me exactly what I needed after last weekends unpleasantness. They couldn't be more dissimilar in tone, appearance and production, but that's what I love about movies and going to the theater. For a measly 16$, I purchased two tickets for roughly 4 hours of entertainment. I went to the bowels of radioactive hell and to the swinging sixties as imagined by Forrest J. Ackerman. I laughed, I was creeped out, I saw old friends and made new ones. Summer is back on track.

Trey scores his 16th Top 10 R&B/Hip-Hop
Trey Songz showcases Chapter V in London | Album Preview
Surrounded by draped walls, sumptuous textures, moody lighting and Trey Songz etched on the mirrors making sure that everyone – including the neighbours – know his name, following a brief introduction Mr ‘Steal Yo Girl’ sat down with the intimate crowd of no more than 30, and made us feel at home.
Dressed casually in all black everything, Trey oozes confidence and effortlessly commanded the attention of everyone in the room. Conscious and engaging, it’d be easy to forget that Trey is only 27 years old and by many standards, even almost five albums in, a newbie. What stands out when you listen to Trey speak, is his profound love for his music and his craft.
Referring to himself as a ‘marketing guru’ who sees the way he promotes himself as a business, he thanked everyone including Trey’s Angels, for actively promoting and believing in his work. Actively doing what other artists don’t and always up for trying something new, the listening party was a new experience that we were glad to share.
At the London event Songz introduced six tracks from the upcoming album, Chapter V. The first, his latest ‘Heart Attack,’ produced by Benny Blanco and written by Rico Love needs no introduction, but for those of you who haven’t seen/heard it, the video featuring the beautiful Kelly Rowland is below for your viewing pleasure.
There were a couple of club tracks; ‘Two Reasons’ featuring T.I. and ‘Ladies Go Wild,” which that Trey wrote in the middle of a crazy party that included poles, a bunch of guys, some girls and.. well, I’m sure you can fill in the blanks.
The third track ‘Dive In’ is what Trey Songz does best – a sensual slow jam. Trey aptly described it as “the type of track that makes ladies want to take pictures of their legs in the bubble bath and put it on instagram”; you only have to hear the first verse to know that he’s probably right.
The remaining tracks, ‘Without a Woman’ and ‘Simply Amazing,’ arefeel good tracks for the ladies; ‘Without a Woman’ gives that classic Trey Songz vibe and feel and is an ode to woman and what it’d be like without us, did you expect anything less? Although a little different from his usual, ‘Simply Amazing’ has a clean, crisp feel and with lyrics like “She ain’t perfect, but she’s worth it,” this is sure to be amongst the faves.
We’re promised what Trey himself says is “essentially an R&B album,” with a splash of soul and a few club bangers. With no release date set, all we can do is wait patiently for Trey to bless us with his new masterpiece Chapter V – and from what we’ve heard so far, we’re in for a treat.
Chapter V is due for release Summer 2012.
