TREY SONGZ is fast becoming the R&B favorite. He splashes the cover of Honey Magazine with his self proclaimed mix of humility, confidence, and arrogance. Why are the ladies in love with Trey? He says, “I’m a lovable guy. You don’t think so? I’m confident. That exudes. Women like men who are confident. I’m humble and I was raised by women so I know what women like.”

SONGZ makes it clear to the public that he’s his own competition and continues to move forward in his craft. He makes the heart of R&B beat at his pace. He feels no pressure to dance ala Breezy or do any other thing that fits the mold at the moment. “I think that’s what makes me different. If you think back to the days when Marvin Gaye was out and the Temptations were out; they had choreography and Marvin had whatever he was doing, but it wasn’t choreographed moves. It was vibes. If you see one of my shows, I channel another energy that replaces what dancing would.”

There’s nothing more sexy than sex. Mr. I Invented Sex is more than a face. He is devising his own promotional materials, video treatments, etc to give fans that something special.” I did a write up about it on my blog that explains where I got the concept. There’s a banned Calvin Klein commercial with a man with two women — a little more risqué, a little more raunchy — and there’s also an Eva Mendes Calvin Klein commercial; I kind of brought the two together. I knew Drake wasn’t going to be on this version, so I took that time to get sensual, to talk to the woman and make a new conversation piece. From here on out, with videos, with song structure, with everything — I’m trying to make it more like an event, more so than a motion, because everything in the music business usually moves clockwork. You got to do this, this way; this should be done, this way. I’m trying to think outside of the box with everything I do and make sure things are done in an innovative way that makes people look like ‘Ohhh… that’s different.’” While he proves he can relate with audiences from 106 & Park and 25 with tracks like LOL Smiley Face– somethings are strictly for the grown and sexy. Some of these things I can’t even repeat. Read the entire juicy interview HERE.

These black and whites add an extra flare of style that was more reminiscent of the old players in R&B. Trey is pulling it off well.

There were so many good shots that I was glad I didn’t have to choose the cover shot.  I love good photography. Well done.
