R&B singer Trey Songz looks set to flood the airwaves with new material ahead of the release of his new LP ‘Passion, Pain & Pleasure’. While the project’s lead single ‘Bottoms Up (ft. Nicki Minaj)’ steadily builds a buzz on Urban radio, Songz just premièred new cut in the form of ‘Can’t Be Friends’ on his official website moments ago.
Take a listen to the song after the jump…
Oh Trey.
While the 25 year old deserves kudos for surprisingly not singing out of his nose this go round, the song still leaves a lot to be desired. Too much, in fact. For, if a ‘hit’ or any form of longevity is what Trey is on the prowl for with this release, he’s sadly mistaken. Put simply, ‘Can’t Be Friends’ is a snoozer. With the likes of Usher and Chris Brown back on the scene, Trey is risking his already overstated standing by releasing run-of-the-mill doo-doo like this.
Unless he ditches the clothes and reaches for that bottle of baby oil for the song’s video (as he’s oh-so-used-to), this doesn’t look as if it’ll play out well for Mr Songz…
