    Trey Songz Says PASSION, PAIN & PLEASURE Scales 'New Heights' [via MTV.com]

    Trey Songz has established himself as a beloved R&B artist, but the singer said it wasn't until his last project, Ready, that he began to feel like he had ascended to star status.

    "I definitely feel that that album was what I thought it was. Before even the masses got it or anybody heard it, I felt like it was a defining album in an artist's career," he told MTV News. "Because even before that album, I had a couple hits, I had top 10 records, but those were songs. I had hit songs but I wasn't a hit artist. But right now people know my name and right now I feel like with Ready being so successful, I felt that was me only scratching the surface of my potential. That was almost the beginning of my career, if you will.

    With his latest release, Passion, Pain & Pleasure, Trey takes another big leap forward. Songz' first two offerings are already heating up at radio and on the charts. "Bottoms Up," featuring Nicki Minaj, sits in the top 20 on Billboard's Hot 100 and "Unusual," featuring Drake, appears primed to follow suit.

    "With Passion, Pain & Pleasure, I feel like I'm taking it to new heights," Songz said of his fourth studio album.

He definitely is a crowd pleaser. Its amazing that he is able to do that all the while "doing him". It was incredibly hard to come out and be a hit at the time he did years ago with the R&B kick(everrrrybody was trying to come out, some made it i.e Chris Brown and Neyo) People were loving his songs but not getting into him and his music as a whole, his real talent. With a big kick and even bigger push, those ridded braids, cleaned up image and dirty downed songs put him right where he belongs, in the spotlight. Its so enjoyable to finally see him make it, though 3 albums later, he's still here and from the looks of it he wont be slowing down. He's main stream now, yeah he had to, in theory, shake what his mama gave him, but pleasing the masses can't be easy. Doing what he loves and we're loving it!
