Trey Lorenz is the debut solo album by R&B singer-songwriter Trey Lorenz. It was released on Epic Records in 1992, and features 11 tracks, 8 of which Lorenz co-wrote.
The album featured 3 singles: "Someone to Hold", which peaked at 19 on the pop charts and reached number 5 on the R&B chart. The next single, "Photograph of Mary", peaked at number 46 on the R&B charts while reaching number 11 on the dance charts. The third and final single, the Lionel Richie-penned "Just to Be Close to You" got as far as number 66 on the R&B charts.
Critical reception
Critics considered the album's musical direction derivative. In the Northants Herald & Post, John Marrs felt Lorenz "never really ventures off onto an experimental path". Hartford Courant critic Dana Tofig said the songs are largely indistinguishable from those by other R&B singers; Michael Freedberg of The Boston Phoenix specified Lillo Thomas, Keith Washington, and Alexander O'Neal as artists Lorenz "seems to kiss the beat with". Given his perceived musical similarities with her, J. D. Considine of The Baltimore Sun suggested the album is suited as a Christmas gift for Carey fans. Greg Forman, a reviewer for The Post and Courier, said Lorenz emulated Carey to bad effect.
Reviews complimented Lorenz for demonstrating vocal range and control on the album. Billboard described Trey Lorenz as a "fitting showcase for his vocal prowess". Interview writer Peter Galvin compared his voice favorably to those of singers Barry White, Philip Bailey, and Stevie Wonder. Peter Kinghorn described Lorenz as "wonderfully emotive" in the Evening Chronicle. Entertainment Weekly's Amy Linden considered Lorenz a capable lead singer and Sheila Rayam of the Democrat and Chronicle predicted "he should be around long after his superstar mentor has left his side."
