Trey Songz - Brand New



Lets see, what to say about this track. The track is good, however every time I do see the words "Brand New," Drake's version automatically comes to mind. I couldn't help but compare the two songs, and Drakes most definitely would weigh in as the winner.

The video however, is a bit of a disappointment. The concept of personal video camera recordings + club + the many celeb cameos was very low budget and amateur looking. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that if you're a platinum album selling, billboard topping artist that you must provide your fans with expensive professional videos...but a video that doesn't look thrown together would be nice. Not that the video is thrown together though, I'd say...it seems like something any person with a decent camera + props + lights + sheets could put together. Shoot, I'd probably be able to produce something like that.

But then again, I'm happy to have A VIDEO then none. Something is definitely better then nothing, but a video though in my opinion helps with the likability of a song and could determine if it is a hit or miss. Just my two cents. :)

Chorus is composed of:
Shawty brand new/fresh out the box/
I think she came here with her girlfriend
Shawty brand new/fresh out the box/
Tonight I'm gon' be yo' husband
The bridge is cute, takes a bit of a melody? Not sure if that's the right word, but that part of the song is the winner and I'd say would be a favorite with the ladies.

I tried to find a better HIGH QUALITY version of the video, but couldn't find one on youtube yet. Oh well, everyone enjoy!

Ah & Drizzy Drake Rogers also makes a cameo.
