The music is sparse, which showcases Songz’s easy vocal swagger and distinctive cadence, and most of the songs find him singing in three- or four-part harmony. Most of Trigga proceeds in this fashion, Songz’s stellar vocals juxtaposed against uninspired production and clichéd lyrics that traipse through the usual set of R&B themes: sexual prowess, cheating, bad breakups, nights at the club, and so on. Trey Songz’s sixth album, Trigga, opens with “Cake,” a slow-burner centered around a thinly conceived sexual metaphor (“They say you can’t have cake, and eat it too/Ain’t that what you’re s’posed to do?/Ain’t you s’posed to eat it too?/Cake’s on the menu”), which simultaneously calls attention to Songz’s supple voice and paint-by-numbers approach to songwriting.
