It was produced by several record producers, including Troy Taylor, Eric Hudson, Rico Love, and Benny Blanco, among others. It was released on August 21, 2012, by Atlantic Records. He invited one lucky fan onstage during his “Bottom’s Up” performance gifting her with a necklace bearing the name of his album, a kiss and the shirt off of his back, finally giving the rest of the fans the shirtless show they wanted all along.Chapter V is the fifth studio album by American R&B recording artist Trey Songz. Crowd participation wasn’t limited to singing lyrics, however. Although, what appeared to be a set of mimes did join him at a couple of points in his performance, including the song “Pretty Girls Lie.” One other unique aspect to his set was a horn section, which gave his very modern songs an old-school soul feel. Songz, who didn’t do a lot of dancing, managed to work the stage with just his vocal ability and crowd interaction. The audience knew every word to every song from the opener “Dive In” to the more fast-paced “Say Aah," “2 Reasons” and “Bottoms Up.” He also took time to shout out fans that he could see from the stage and read many of the homemade signs - some of which weren’t really meant for public consumption. There was even fog for dramatic effect, and he managed to plug his upcoming role in the new "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" flick. The only exception came with the sweeter love song “Can’t Help But Wait” and the introspective “Fumble.” His stage was tripled-tiered and doubled as one big screen used to display a dazzling shock of colored lights. His performance was extremely sexually charged to the point of working the mostly female crowd into a frenzy or he was the king of the nightlife banging out club hit after club hit.
He stuck to his usual lover man shtick throughout most of his performance to the point where a lot of songs melted into one long slow jam. Throughout his performance, Songz involved his screaming fans in more ways than one. Miguel took a break from singing to share a little of his backstory with the crowd before clowning around with two of his guitar players to the tune of 2Pac’s “I Get Around.” He closed the show with a sing-a-long of his monster song “Adorn” where the crowd sang most of the entire first verse. He continued going back and forth between his debut and sophomore album much to the crowd’s delight all while providing a note-worthy light show and entertaining the audience with dance moves that clearly come from the James Brown school of performing. He even managed to incorporate dancing into a performance of supposed slow jam “Sure Thing” before launching into electric guitar driven “Use Me” from his latest album.
He opened up his set with a high-energy version of “Strawberry Amazing” from his 2008 mixtape “Mischief.” Said enthusiasm never waned. Miguel is another relatively new kid in urban music, but 2012 was a banner year for him with big features, Grammy nominations and releasing his newest effort “Kaleidoscope Dream.” Although, most of his music ranges from smoothed out to trippy, his stage show is another story.
