Famed R&B vocal less vocalist Trey Songz spoke with The Source about his forthcoming fifth studio release ‘Chapter 5’ , citing the work as ‘the best me you’ve ever heard’.  The album, which will act as the follow-up to Songz’ 4th album ‘Passion, Pain, & Pleasure’, is said to be nearing completion.

The ‘Say Aah’ singer also had this to say (via The Source):

“… it’s my sixth year in the game so I’ve been here for a while now. You can expect the best me you’ve ever heard. I don’t have any release dates in mind right now but I’m just making music and enjoying myself in the studio and having fun. When I get to a place where I feel comfortable saying a date or all of that, people will definitely know. I have a few dream collaborations on that album that I want, but they say if you blow out your candle and make a wish you can’t tell people what you ask for or it won’t come true.”
