R&B singer Trey Songz and rapper Fabolous reveal the new music video for “Pick Up The Phone,” their remix of Travis Scott and Young Thug’s hit off their joint project, Trappy New Years.
In the visual, a red cup toting Trigga gets a little twerk time from a bootylicious, weed smoking female. The clip seems like a laid-back lituation with some FaceTime.
“Pick Up The Phone” by Trey Songz and Fabolous featuring MIKExANGEL is a smooth and seductive track that blends R&B with hip-hop, delivering a modern anthem about late-night connections and the complexities of love. Released in 2017 as part of Trey Songz’s *Tremaine* album, the song captures the essence of contemporary R&B with its slick production and sultry vibe.
The production of “Pick Up The Phone” is characterized by its mellow, atmospheric beat, underpinned by deep bass, subtle percussion, and moody synths. This creates a laid-back, almost hypnotic soundscape that perfectly complements the song’s themes of longing and desire. Trey Songz’s silky vocals glide over the beat, expressing a mix of vulnerability and confidence as he urges a love interest to answer his call. His performance is both smooth and earnest, capturing the emotional tension of the situation.
Fabolous adds a dose of swagger with his sharp, rhythmic verses, providing a lyrical contrast that enhances the track’s dynamic. MIKExANGEL’s contribution adds an additional layer of depth, with his vocals bringing a fresh perspective to the narrative.
Lyrically, the song explores the frustrations and uncertainties of modern relationships, where communication is key but often fraught with tension. The chorus, with its repeated plea to “pick up the phone,” underscores the emotional urgency behind the song’s message. “Pick Up The Phone” is a standout track that blends emotional depth with a sleek, contemporary sound, making it a memorable collaboration between these talented artists.
On the 6-song set, ‘Trappy New Years,’ Trey and Fab re-work popular songs from 2016 including Future’s “Used to This” and Migos’ “Bad & Boujee.”
