Cop That Disc!!

Ne-yo returns with his third album 'Year Of The Gentleman' the follow up to last years Grammy winning 'Because of You'. Ne-yo has been quoted as saying his goal with this album is to evoke memories of a time when guys looked and acted like gentlemen. Well this album certainly lives up to its title. Neyo is all about female-empowerment ,he is responible for Beyonce's irreplaceable,and the theme continues here with songs like 'Miss Independent'his current single. The album is mid-tempo heavy which seems to work for him although there are some up-tempo cuts like stand-out track 'Nobody' the Michael Jackson influence on this one is undeniable. What really impresses here is his songwriting talent he really knows how to tell a story. Overall this is a very solid effort one of those albums that you can listen to from start to finish definitely worth copping! 8/10

Ne-yo / Miguel- Let's Just Be

This isn't exactly a review but "Let's Just Be" is a song by Ne-yo circulating around the net that is rumoured to be off his next album. As much as I love Ne-Yo's music I just can't listen to it the same way anymore, the image of him without a hat (look above) has been permanently imprinted in my brain. Lol but na, that doesn't take away from his musical talent. Apparently he's given the song to another artist by the name of Miguel. The song is SO sweet, it's about a type of guy with a mentality that every girl would want. Both versions are good, so who knows whether it'll actually make it on Ne-yo's next album..

Here's Miguel's version. This guys beyond sexy. Check out some of his other songs.
