Oh, Ne-Yo. I admit that I was going to sleep on your album. I wasn't even going to give it a second look. But today, I took a chance and listened. And I am highly pleased. It sounds like nothing that is out right now, which is a good thing. It's not typical R&B. It's got a European, Michael Jackson circa Off the Wall, classic, Ne-Yo sound. I like it. Ne-Yoism. Yeah, that's what I'll call it. I get tired of hearing the same ol' stuff. But this is refreshing.
Closer sounds like something that you hear when you walk in Express. They always have that euro-beat music playing all loud, drowning out any and all thoughts.
I have to listen to it again to get a real feel for it. But upon first listen of the album, it's something that I can listen to all the way through. Way to go Ne-Yo!!!
"So You Can Cry" is one of my off the top favorites. He said, "I'll ask the sun to shine away from you today so you can cry." Ne-Yo!!!! That is hot right there. His voice was so beautiful on that track. He made my face squinch up like something smelled bad. lol! That's my, "Um! That sounds good" face.
Ok. That's my 1.5 cents. Going back to work now...
OK... I had to come back and add this: I'll be your boyfriend till this song goes off??? Really??? What foolery is that? *shakes head* I still like the album though.

LOL @ that last line!
Hey, how do you do the label cloud thing?
I'll look up the code and get it for you. I can't think off the top of my head how I did it. Lemme go look...
Neyo is truly gifted. I posted the remix to Miss Independent on my site. It's with Jamie Fox.
I will have to check out this album, sometimes. Not really a big Ne-Yo fan but he definitely writes great songs for other artist.
I'm not a big Ne-Yo fan either- which is why I ignored other people's praises of his album. But I have to say that I'm impressed. Except for a few songs at the end where he whines over some sappy music. I hate that... yuk!
