Even fewer under-30 R&B vocalists bother to temper boasts of bedroom aptitude by singing about what they can do for - rather than to - their women. Not many artists can achieve the same level of success with such contrasting material. It joined the album's first single, "Heart Attack" - a bleepy/weepy ballad delivered with relatable and convincing conviction. Trey can deflect the criticism by pointing at its commercial success before Chapter V was released, the song was in the Top Ten of Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart. Forty seconds in, Trey proclaims "I only came for the bitches and the drinks," repeats the phrase over 20 times, and follows "Baby, get your glass up" with - guess what - "Baby, get your ass up." It's the pop-R&B equivalent of Gangstalicious' "I Got Shot" (which was a pointed spoof). The singer has never been too proud to release shamelessly crude club music, and "2 Reasons" manages to outdo earlier hits "Say Aah" and "Bottoms Up" to the point of being parody-proof. Not all of the developments on Trey Songz' fifth album are positive.
