I wanted to do that versus what trend was going on or what society may think that artists need to be doing right now. You start thinking about charts and radio, but going with your instinct and heart and really just creating something that was pure to what I felt creatively was what I wanted to do. Trey Songz: Quite honestly making the music in that mindset is easy, but then you get in your head about what people think and what the label thinks. YouKnowIGotSoul: It seems like on this album you relied more on your instincts rather than worrying about whether the label or radio would approve.

It was something that was in my heart to do and it felt good to my soul to make an album like that. It was something that I felt like I had to do just to pay homage to true R&B with chord changes, bridges, big harmonies and A1 production. When I made the album “Back Home”, I wanted the music to reflect what it felt like when I was back home trying to become who I am and making the music that I’ve made and being a relevant name in the R&B space. That’s a very real statement because attention spans are very short, Hip Hop is very dominant right now and music is everchanging. Trey Songz: Aw man, you mentioned the year 2020 being significant to the music. YouKnowIGotSoul: Talk about putting a traditional R&B together in 2020 with bridges, harmonies and great vocal production. In this interview, we dive deep into the creation of the new project, some of the challenges that he faces creatively as an R&B artist in 2020 and also his evolution as an artist. The R&B star has been on quite a journey since the release of his debut project “I Gotta Make It” back in 2005 as he’s experienced everything from almost getting dropped by his label to becoming one of the biggest names in R&B.

We recently caught up with Trey Songz to reflect back on his impressive career which includes his latest album “Back Home”.
