Despite the hiatus, the sexed-up R&B singer managed to keep busy, including the release of a pair of mixtapes – 28 and 11 – in 2018. If you’d been missing him hardcore, Songz ensures that you get a heaping dose of him on his eighth studio album, oh to the tune of 22 tracks and 70 minutes in duration. It’s lengthy, but more often than not, Back Home is a solid R&B album.

The sleekly produced, slow-paced ✅ “Be My Guest” kicks off Back Home, sexually, of course. Sex is often the modus operandi of Trey Songz, so, it makes perfect sense that he’d launch the album with something titillating. “Be My Guest” isn’t clean mind you – “And she keep me like her panties, somewhere over to the side” – but it’s also not the filthiest record Trey has ever recorded.

Follow up “Save It” keeps the same energy, finding Songz thinking with his ‘other head,’ ‘the love below!’ Perhaps he is indeed thinking about a deeper connection when he asserts, “I ain’t gon’ play unless I’m playin’ for keeps,” but there is still pleasure to be had. Focusing merely on “Save It” as a song, the artist continues to be true to self with pretty effective results. The cards are revealed on the brief interlude, “Hands On” where, predictably, Trey asserts, “You know I’m a hands-on learner, can I learn you?” Of course, that learning is sexual, conveyed solidly with a lush backdrop and smooth vocals jam-packed with game.
