Trey Songz Shows His Muscles and Talks Back Home

Hello. Hello. How are you? You know me. What's that? You already had know. Well, now how was this morning waking up different than any other morning this week considering your project is now out?

Well, I woke up a little I I woke up excited. Uh, I was up late last night because I just was like, you know, it's like you give a baby to the world. Like it's another like, ah, you know what I mean? So, Yeah. I was kind of anxious, so I didn't I slept good but I didn't really sleep good. But uh, I just went outside, soak up that sun, and uh got ready for the day.

Have you been have you been playing any of the songs from Back Home out loud today or you're kind of all

I actually got I played the album uh, I played it last night and went to sleep to it. I I haven't got a chance to listen. Of course, I've listened to it before it was released, but uh, Like actually playing it on iTunes, Spotify and seeing it. Like that was dope. I did that last night. Uh, so after I talked to you, I think I'll give it a listen.

What is your personal favorite track from from it?

If I had to pick one it would be "I Know a Love." Mhm. Uh, it's a song dedicated to my son and just how special he is and how he make me feel.

How old is your son?

My son is a year and a half.

Okay, so he's a year and a half. Do you play the songs ever for him to kind of he's like dance around to them or anything?

He actually was uh, he watched the he isn't here with me now because I have COVID.

Mhm.

Yeah. He actually watched, I did a YouTube live last night and he saw uh, the video we released yesterday is "I Know a Love" is a video, he and I. And he I got a video of him actually watching the video of us. And it kind of made a little tears come down my a little happy tear.

Was it the cutest thing ever?

Mhm.

Uh, his mom says she was playing the album earlier today and he's talking about "Da, Da. Da, Da. Da, Da." I was just saying, does he like recognize your voice when he hears it, like the song's playing?

Yes, I sing to him all the time and I sing I sing "Good Night" every night. So, yeah, he definitely recognize. He he knows, he knows.

That's so cool. And you have some pretty cool features, Summer Walker, Swae Lee on the album. How did those come about?

Hey, uh Summer Walker Summer Walker, Swae Lee as well as uh Ty Dolla Sign and Davido. Uh, Summer Walker I I I just love everything she stands for. I love her voice. She's so talented. And um, I wanted her on Back Home just for a female perspective. As far as Davido, I think he's like one of the leaders in the international music scene. Uh, Ty Dolla Sign a great friend of mine, we've been working together for years now. And uh Swae Lee is uh just a generation generational talent. I I love his the way his voice is accentuate the his voice accentuates the song. I I love his just thought process and I think he's very unique.

And when you explained it, you said that this album Back Home was kind of songs that make you love, smile, cry, laugh. So, for all of those terms, what song would you choose if you wanted to laugh?

If I wanted to laugh, I would listen to uh specifically Ty Dolla Sign's verse on "Wrong Call" he said, he listen to his verses. He said, I need all of nothing. Don't forget the balls and nothing.

Yeah, that one works for laugh for sure. Yeah. What about cry? Probably the one about your son.

Yeah. A good cry. That's a good cry. Uh, I know a love and I would listen to the interlude as well because on the interlude you hear us talking a little bit and you hear him like sing a little bit. And uh, that definitely is a tear-jerker worthy.

Oh my gosh. Yes. Okay, smile.

Hmm. What song would make me smile? I think Cat Got My Tongue because it's so clever. It's just the word play. It's like a sneaky

When you listen to your own songs, do you ever like dang, like, I'm pretty like this is pretty good. Like this is a good song.

This is the album for that for me. You know what I mean? Like I think uh, the thing about putting an album out as an artist no matter how confident you are, you have a you have a little nervousness about it because you're you're being very vulnerable. Even if you aren't super vulnerable within the lyrics and what you're talking about, like even in this is my most vulnerable project. I feel like uh, you know, there's a nervousness about letting this layer go of yourself. So, uh, this album has been the one where I love the most as a fan like and I think that's probably because uh, the pandemic came and you know, I had time to live within the music and really just be focused on that and only that.

Well, perfect. Thank you so much for talking to us today. I appreciate you.

You pretty easy. Like I'm I'm happy I got you laughs. Nice.

And can we do a little boomerang for the Instagram story?

Yeah. What do you want me to do? Show my muscles?

Probably, probably best bet to get us the most likes.

Okay, ready?
