What sets him apart from most modern R&B artists in these ballads is that he talks more about pleasing women in an relationship sense, than women pleasing him in a sexual sense. Songz saves the booze-guzzling, female rear end obsessed side of him for the more party-oriented tracks on Chapter V to work in his favor commercially, while his ballads are of a completely opposite nature. In his past work Songz has been guilty of displaying that same persona of crude self-promotion that artists like Chris Brown apply like make-up, but unlike Brown, Songz never let it be a permanent staple in his music or dominate him thematically, and he continues to make good use of this restraint on his obviously titled fifth album Chapter V. With the mainstream R&B scene receiving a new level of standard that it desperately needed, artists such as Trey Songz face some stiff competition. The music behind their voices is not an after-thought, leading to interesting experiments in beats and structures, and they convey authentic emotions such as vulnerability and intimacy through their voice and lyrics combined. ItвЂ™s fortunate that in recent years artists that are actually inspired have thrown their hats into the ring and have gained some well-deserved recognition and acceptance into the mainstream.ДЄrtists such as these, namely The Weeknd and Frank Ocean, are what modern R&B should sound like, and what the genre as a whole has been in dire need of. They make music that is heavy on sexual themes but isnвЂ™t sexy in the least bit, turning entire albums into bone-headed, egotistical boasting sprees. Modern R&B is primarily plagued with the likes of Chris Brown, singers who judging by their lyrical content, enjoy stroking their dicks just as much as stroking their egos. Review Summary: HeвЂ™s made about as little progression in his music as one would expect from an artist in the mainstream R&B scene, but SongzвЂ™ sense of compassion in his personality is what puts him above the dozens of other shameless singers in the field.
