Sexually-charged singer Trey Songz sat down with MTV recently to discuss the video for his new single ‘Bottoms Up (ft. Nicki Minaj)’. While everything from the song’s title, to it’s lyrical content boast the same raciness Songz has become renown for, the 25 year old claims the Anthony Mandler directed clip is heading in another direction.
Check out what the sometimes-clothed star had to say below…
I can’t help but feel it’s asking a bit too much of Songz to keep his clothes on and leave that baby oil in the drawer. Nonetheless, it’ll be interesting to see if he can actually serve up a video of substance this go round; after all, he’s going to need to.
For, with Trey’s ‘Pain, Pleasure, & Pain’ LP still slated for a September 14th release, it means he’ll be dropping the album on the back of just one proper single and a poorly-performing reality show (a huge risk in this current musical climate). With his last album only just going Gold, and spawning only one hit out of six releases, I still get the distinct impression that smoke and mirrors are being used to sell Songz as being more than he is – something which will ultimately make his first-week album sales oh-so-interesting to see.
In case, I’ll reserve full judgement until seeing the ‘Bottoms Up’ video itself. Word has it that it’ll be premièring any day now.
