Honey Magazine: Trey Chic

It happens every time he enters a room. It’s not just the expected whiplash inspired by the average celebrity sighting. It’s as if the temperature of the room changes. Girls don’t just gasp — they hold their breath. They don’t just stare, they stake him out. Posture improves. Backs arch. Tresses are tossed. Giggles climb an octave or two.

Trey’s mojo hangs thick and heavy in the air. And yes, he insists on playing Sade as mood music for our interview in the telly suite…

Honey: To open yourself up to your fans…
Trey Songz: I do, but I can’t give my whole life to my fans. Then the mystique is gone. If you know everything about someone, why would you continue to pursue that person?

Honey: How would you define this moment in your career? You had your debut [I Gotta Make It], your sophomore album [Trey Day] — of course, you were younger, kind of establishing yourself. Where would you say you are three albums in with Ready?
Trey Songz: I’m still establishing myself, I would say. I’m opening myself up to a fanbase that never knew me so while my first album was the original introduction; the second album was probably a step further into introducing myself. I feel this album is still an introduction because it’s more people coming on board.

Honey: When comparing yourself to other guys in R&B, who do you consider your competition?
Trey Songz: I’m my own competition.
