Trey Songz says fans dictated the song selection from the last album and while a fan of each record, he was surprised at his listener’s choices.
Going from “Bottoms Up” with Nicki Minaj to “We Can’t Be Friends”, which are two different songs.
“I think what was so dope about my last album is that basically the fans, radio and the people dictated what the next single would be. Although I wanted “Invented Sex” and “Say Aaah” to be my singles and “Neighbors Know My Name” was one of my favorite songs, I didn’t know that they would be revealed that way. What I did do with “Bottoms Up” and “We Can’t Be Friends” is I knew that they were two songs who were vastly different and I think the album embodies everything in between that. “
Trey hopes one of his more “artistic” records get more airplay.
“As far as the single, I got a couple I think would work. What I’m really trying to do is get away from the radio mentality holistically although partially that has to happen. But I would love to see one of the more artistic records eventually get on radio. Right now “Alone”, “Red Lipstick”, “Unusual” could definitely be the next single.”
