Goody Bag: Anticipation

Trey Songz does not get the credit he deserves. He has to be the most underrated male R&B artist out. He is consistent and has so many hits. He has to be one of the hardest working men in R&B with Mixtape after Mixtape. Well today at 12:30...yessss I was up lol...Trey Songz released his new mixtape "Anticipation" via his blog See Further Than I Am here is what he had to say

"Many of you may ask, Why ANTICIPATION? Well lets break it down shall we:

An⋅tic⋅i⋅pa⋅tion [an-tis-uh-pey-shuhn] -noun
1. realization in advance, intuition; foretaste.
2. Musically - a tone introduced in advance of its harmony so that it sounds against the preceding chord.

Musically, I'm currently in a creative space like no other. I feel as though whenever a mic is put in front of me, I can do no wrong. At a time in the music industry where album sales are low, fans are fickle, inconsistent, or more into the various songs than they are the particular artist, I feel that I must give u a reason to love me. Embed in you a desire to love me and an appreciation for the music. I must show you that not only do I LOVE what I do but I also do it well.

The creation of ANTICIPATION began after I presented READY to my label the first time. I just started recording on my days off and the music felt great and decided that I'd rather share the music than let it sit and be idle. This is music without politics, without creative boundaries.

Troy (my mentor and founder & CEO of Songbook Ent.) and I have been making music since I was 15. There was a time when thoughts of monotonous melodies or redundant choruses wasn't THE KEY to making a hit record. Music that just felt good. Although they're present at times the boundaries are endless in this body of work, giving you a (1) realization in advance to READY.

What do I mean by READY? Well, lets do this one more time.Read⋅y [red-ee] –adjective1. completely prepared or in fit condition for immediate action or useAre you READY? I like to say don't get READY...STAY READY!!! But until then...Here is ANTICIPATION..."

No one cannot tell me that this man is not real. He is so passionate about his music and it shows. He is so articulate...I wonder if he still needs a girl...lol
