Trey Songz makes his long-awaited return and turns up to the max on “All I Had,” a remix of Belly & The Weeknd’s “Might Not.”
Where TF has Trey Songz been? He went quiet after November’s To Whom It May Concern mixtape, which found him channeling a tougher, club-ready sound. Well, he’s likely been working on new material, as today, he’s dropped off a finely polished party-starter titled “All I Had.” The song happens to be a remix of Belly and The Weeknd’s “Might Not.” Damn, Trigga man. His strengths may lie in the bedroom, but “All I Had” is a set-reppin’ anthem that proves he can easily veer into street territory, where much of the most trendy R&B lies these days.
What’s most impressive is how Trey makes the transition without sacrificing his acute sense of melody, showing his dramatic range throughout the track without ever stepping out of key. Sensitive vocals, ruthless delivery. Hopefully “All I Had” signals that Trey has a new body of work with which he’s planning on taking over the summer.
