His regretful nature comes through the hardest on the song “Playboy”. Trey and Tremaine have a battle throughout the album with the latter starting to yearn for real love, rather than the meaningless sexual encounters he has been accustomed to. Trey’s decision to use his government name as the name of his album falls in line with Young Thug’s mixtape Jeffrey, which also had a more mature vibe to it than his previous efforts. This sentiment seems to be the major theme of Trey Songz new album, Tremaine. While Trey Songz was still enjoying the latter half of his 20s during Trigga, he now has entered his 30s, which is a time where most people are caught in between the awkward stage of being too old to do fifteen shots of Ciroc in a night and wake up to a bed full of strangers and to young to settle down with five kids and a steady life insurance plan. Trey’s Trigga was an ode to drinking and loveless sexual conquests and also a major success at 14 million records sold. Tremaine Neverson, more commonly known by his moniker Trey Songz, always has been one to stay safely within the R&B boundaries. In an era where the lane that supports R&B and the lane that supports hip hop have crossed into one lane of bumper to bumper traffic, it is always refreshing to get an album that safely cruises down one genre.
