Humanity owes Trey Songz a lot. I mean, the guy invented sex, for Pete's sake. Anyone else might just say, 'You know, I invented sex. You're welcome. I'm going to retire to the Caribbean and drink mudslides for the rest of my life.' But no. Trey continues to give. And for that we are in his debt.
The R&B singer has had a heck of a couple of months, with hits like "LOL 
" and "Say Aah." He's found a formula -- freak-nasty lyrics, sung in an angelic voice over slick, soft, soul beats. And he's sticking to it.
"Neighbors Know My Name," taken from his 2009 album, Ready, sounds like something that might have come from one of Trey's major influences, R. Kelly. Trey's relationship with Kells hasn't always been a smooth one, with the up-and-comer dissing the veteran on his version of Jay-Z's "D.O.A." But the impact Kelly's music has had on Trey is obvious after one listen to "Neighbors."
Given his past inventions, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out why neighbors know his name. Yes, Trey's boot-knocking disturbs the peace. The song finds Trey relating a particularly intense romantic encounter that does nothing to endear to other members of his co-op. This kinda thing will totally be brought up at his tenants meeting.
