There are two versions of the music video for "Yesterday": one for the original solo version and one for the remix featuring Trey Songz. Mikael Wood from Los Angeles Times said: "Opener 'Yesterday' cribs its twinkly emo-soul texture (and some of its airy vocal melody) from Beyoncé's ' Broken-Hearted Girl'". Andy Kellman from Allmusic said: "'Yesterday' is a bitter breakup ballad in which the teeth-clenched 'I don’t love ya/Don’t need ya/Can’t stand ya no more' sounds very real". Mark Edward Nero from say, positively, "Arguably the best song on Pulse is the passionately bitter break-up song 'Yesterday', but interestingly, the better of two versions of the song isn't included on the album's standard version". In fact, when she growls those last three words, it's almost like she never went away. Nick Levine from Digital Spy rated the song 3 out of 5 stars and favorably reviewed the solo version of the song, saying: "'Yesterday' shares a little too much of its DNA with Beyoncé's ' Halo' to satisfy fully, but sounds as seductive as ever crooning the surprisingly bitter lyrics - ("I don't love you, don't need you, can't stand you,") she insists on the middle 8. The song received positive reviews from music critics. "Yesterday" is Braxton's first single release in the UK since " Hit the Freeway" in 2003, as Libra was only available on import and no singles from the album were released there.Ī Spanish version of the track, titled "Ayer", was recorded with Alexander Acha but remains unreleased to this day. In the United Kingdom, the song was supposed to be released on February 22, 2010, but ultimately the single release date was moved to May 3, 2010. It is Braxton's first single released under Atlantic Records. There is no doubt that Songz’ art will be interesting for all the good music lovers, and one can choose any Trey’s album to begin the acquaintance – all his records are great and original in their own ways.The song was released on Braxton's official website on September 29, 2009, after four years in hiatus. Moreover, Trey managed to find his own signature sound in a short period of time, and that mood became one of the most recognizable features of his creativity. The musicians did not make his fans to wait for a long time for the following work: Passion, Pain & Pleasure was issued in 2010 and the musical experts noted the soft sound and romantic atmosphere of that long play. Songz keeps on improving his skills, and Ready is the perfect proof of his progress. The sound included elements of hip-hop, rhythm-and-blues, pop and even soul – definitely, the cocktail turned out to be quite interesting. Trey’s record Ready was released in 2009 and it debuted at the third place in Billboard 200 and at the second place in R&B и Hip-Hop chart. Its single Can't Help But Wait was nominated for the Grammy Award in the category Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. I Gotta Make It attracted numerous listeners’ attention to his creativity, and two years later the artist pleased his fans with the strong album Trey Day (2007). Its sound included the elements of old compositions of fifties and sixties and at the same time Songz demonstrated that he wanted and he was able to go forward in a very confident way. Such famous musicians as Twista, Juvenile and the legendary singer Aretha Franklin participated in the creation of that record and that fact proved the highest level of I Gotta Make It. Trey’s debut studio work titled I Gotta Make It was released in 2005. Songz was noticed by a producer at the talent show in 2000, and two years later Trey signed the contract with Atlantic Records and began working on his new material. When Trey was fourteen years old, he took the interest in music, and pretty soon the young singer started performing, encouraged by his family and friends. Trey Songz, American hip-hop and R'n'B artist, was born in 1984 in Petersburg, a city in state Virginia.
