Since making his recording debut in 2005 Trey Songz has patiently and artfully crafted some of the most acclaimed and compelling R&B music of the decade. His first two Songbook Entertainment/Atlantic albums I GOTTA MAKE IT (2005) and TREY DAY (2007) yielded a trio of top ten singles Girl Tonight Last Time and Can t Help But Wait. And when the latter song garnered Trey a coveted Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance it marked the validation of the faith shown in Trey by the late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun who hailed him as one of the most promising R&B artists we have had since we started the company 60 years ago. Now with the 2009 release of READY Trey Songz is more than ready to claim his place in the pantheon of R&B greats. This album draws music and lyrics from such accomplished producers and songwriters as Eric Hudson Sean Garrett Stargate Bryan-Michael Cox Soul Keys Jermaine Dupri Soundz and long-time collaborator Troy Taylor.
