Trey Songz is ready to embark on the next chapter of his career. The R&B superstar has announced the release date for his fifth album Chapter V. The follow-up to 2010’s Passion, Pain, & Pleasure will arrive on August 21 featuring the Benny Blanco and Rico Love-produced single “Heart Attack,” with features from Lil Wayne, Big Sean, J. Cole, and Kelly Rowland. “I’m definitely trying to leap forward with every album, and with this album, I think it’s a leap forward and a leap into the past,”

Trey told Billboard.com. “I want to embody in this album—this fifth album, which is very monumental for me—what I am, where I came from and where I’m going. I just think it’s going to be very fluent, very diverse, yet very cohesive album.” The second single “2 Reasons” featuring T.I. is scheduled to hit iTunes on June 12.
