In fact, when she growls those last three words, it's almost like she never went away. Mark Edward Nero from say, positively, "Arguably the best song on Pulse is the passionately bitter break-up song 'Yesterday', but interestingly, the better of two versions of the song isn't included on the album's standard version". Andy Kellman from Allmusic said: "'Yesterday' is a bitter breakup ballad in which the teeth-clenched 'I don’t love ya/Don’t need ya/Can’t stand ya no more' sounds very real". Mikael Wood from Los Angeles Times said: "Opener 'Yesterday' cribs its twinkly emo-soul texture (and some of its airy vocal melody) from Beyoncé's ' Broken-Hearted Girl'". There are two versions of the music video for "Yesterday": one for the original solo version and one for the remix featuring Trey Songz. įilming the video for the single started on Octoin Los Angeles with director Bille Woodruff (known for such classic Braxton videos as " Un-Break My Heart" and " He Wasn't Man Enough").
Photos from the video were revealed on her official website on October 28 and show Braxton playing a piano, and Songz playing her boyfriend. The video premiered on The Wendy Williams Show on November 20, 2009. The video features singer Brooke Hogan as well as basketball players Shannon Brown and Ron Artest from the Los Angeles Lakers. The video tells the story about a woman (Braxton) who discovers that her boyfriend (Brown) is cheating on her with another woman (Hogan). Promotion īraxton's promotion of the track commenced at the Soul Train Music Awards of 2009, along with Songz. Braxton also promoted the single in the UK with performances on GMTV on, Loose Women and The David Dickinson Show on. He redeems himself with “Nobody Else But You,” staring in the mirror wondering why he takes his relationship for granted."Yesterday" debuted at number 96 on the U.S. Kelly’s already-ridiculous 2007 track “The Zoo” Trey actually sings these lyrics: I go ape up on the donkey / I be throwin’ this banana all around / Put my face up in the monkey / No umbrella but the rain is pourin’ down.” Later, on “Games We Play,” Trey is back to using his smartphone not so smartly, stuck in a sorry cycle of breakups to make ups. The acoustic guitar-powered “She Lovin It” is a bit blunt, if not pushy (and problematic): “She said that she don’t wanna be f**ked / I said, ‘Why the hell are you sleeping naked?’” Meanwhile, “Animal” is a thematic derivative of R. Old habits die hard though, and the Trigga of days past pops up on Tremaine. “Goddamn, I gotta see your ass online / Girl, again and again / With that other guy, goddamn,” he sings. Steal Your Girl in an unexpected position - Instagram stalking his ex. He fights to keep a relationship intact on the closing ballad “Break From Love,” while the aforementioned “Picture Perfect” finds Mr. When things are on the rocks, Trey isn’t above serenading his way back into his lady’s life. Over the gentle keys of the babymaker “The Sheets…Still,” he sings, “This ain’t no threesome-baby-you-can-get-your-girl f**k song, oh no / Girl, this that yeah-you-know-you’re-mine-all-the-time-making-love song.” Here, even when Trey is raunchy, he’s careful to distinguish between real romance and meaningless nookie.
The emo approach is a welcome departure from tracks like Trigga’s fly-out anthem “Foreign,” or the double-crossing “Disrespectful,” the types of licentious records upon which Trey has built his celebrity. Didn’t Trey tell you that he was a savage? Yes, he did, but on Tremaine, he also tells you how he feels about it - whether remorseful, afraid, or insecure.
Ever wonder how it feels to be looked at like a piece of meat? The Virginia native paints a picture with a special sort of #firstworldproblems on the album’s opening lines: “I been stressed out / I ain’t feeling my best / All they want is my sex.” On the sensual “#1 Fan,” he fesses up to performance anxiety before bedding a dedicated follower, wondering, “Why am I so nervous?” He wants to settle down and give Mama Trey a grandkid on the conflicted “Playboy” - with its ’90s slow jam vibes and exquisite falsetto - if only he could bring himself to stop having sex with random women and lying to his girl. Trey welcomes you into his world on the 15-track project. Yet while Trey shows vulnerability on his solid seventh studio album, Tremaine is far from a PG-13 affair. “I’m a savage, but I’m just trying some different shit lately,” he croons on “Picture Perfect.” It’s true: The 32-year-old R&Bone vet isn’t slinging his hypersexual shtick throughout. Trey Songz billed Tremaine The Album, his follow-up to 2014’s impressive Trigga, as a softer side of the guy who invented sex.
