Inevitable

During the fourth quarter of 2011, Trey Songz remained one of the most successful single artists of his era. From 2009 through the release of this five-track stopgap EP, he racked up seven solo Top Ten R&B singles and appeared as a guest vocalist on a couple others. Inevitable certainly resembles a brief collection of glorified studio scraps -- something released to capitalize on holiday sales -- to maintain the product flow. None of it is poor, but it￢ﾀﾙs all B-grade material for Songz, who boasts and flirts over mostly slow, low-key productions from primary associate Troy Taylor. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
