Used To You incorporates more of Ne-Yo's new style, it's deep banging beats are complimented well by Ne-Yo's perfectly pitched vocals, he flows brilliantly over the production. While not as instantly likeable as Closer, it is definitely worthy of making his final cut for the album. I am really liking the new Ne-Yo sound, it's much more grow up than previous efforts & shows why he is a Grammy Award winning artist, i cannot see this guy fading away for a long time to come. The fact that he can adapt & change style is a real strength & shows potential longevity in his career.   [read the full post]

Instead of the 'conventional' or contemporary R&B, he is apparently opting for a more international Club/Dance feel. This seems to be a new trend for R&B artists, with Danity Kane, Beyonce, Michelle Williams & now Ne-Yo all heading for the European scene. Still, from what I have heard from these artists, it seems to be a good look.
