Trey Songs talks it up for Y'all.



Still trying to provide more "balanced" hump day material. So here's y'all favorite young r&b guy chattin' with Honey Mag. Interview cuts and link after the Jump.




On his Sex Appeal

I’m a lovable guy. You don’t think so? I’m confident. That exudes. Women like men who are confident. I’m humble and I was raised by women so I know what women like.

On opening up to his fans
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?….that’s a part of any artistry. There has to be a mystique. In order for women to want me and kids to think I’m the coolest and men to want to be me, there has to be something about me that’s ‘wow.’ If you get rid of the ‘wow’ who cares?


On Twitter
As an artist, I feel as though, I share a lot of my life anyway.....Interviews, TV, Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, Ustream. As an artist, if I tweet right now I would be tweeting ‘Doing an interview, about to go to BET.” After BET I will be tweeting ‘I’m about going to a meeting.’ If I tweet things like that, it becomes promotional so I make sure that sometimes I mix and mingle the two. In a lot of ways, that’s what got me to where I am — as far as this album is concerned — because nobody expected me to sell the records. I did. It wasn’t calculated for. I didn’t have a record big enough to draw that many people, which is generally the way labels and the industry calculate how many records a person is going to sell. But for me, that can’t be calculated because I’ve done so much Internet stuff; the mixtapes, the Ustreams, the SayNow. The social networking is actually a way to get my fans closer to me and for them to have a relationship with me. While giving them, what sometimes is promotional, it’s only right that they get a piece of me. Why? Because it’s me that’s giving it. It’s not a label; it’s not a flier. It’s me promoting myself.

Meh, he's not my cup of tea and his interview didn't "wow" me. Nice balance though. Very good look for the blog.
