"Ne-Yo - Let Just Be"
As Previously Reported - Ne-Yo Is Currently Preparing For The Release Of His Third Studio Album - Year Of The Gentleman.

Solid vocals, smooth production & the same, now classic writing style that we have come to expect from the unstoppable Ne-Yo.

By www.urbanreview.co.uk Here Is Another New Track To Leak From Ne-Yo New Project - Year Of The Gentleman. 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]

By www.urbanreview.co.uk Who Knew Ne-Yo Was Prepping A New Album Already? Not Me, That's For Sure. The project, entitled - Year Of The Gentleman is pencilled in for release on June the 24th & promises to move Ne-Yo in a new direction. 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. Closer is one hot joint, it's fast paced, banging production, catchy lyrics & top vocal arrangements make for one of the most addictive tracks I have heard in a long time, it will be an internat...
