You may not have heard of the name Ne-Yo before, but you've more than likely heard some of his lyrics specifically, on Mario's massive hit, Let Me Love You. This talented musician wrote for a number of chart-toppers before the age of 22, penning songs for Mary J. Blige, B2K, and Faith Evans as well. After working for others, Ne-Yo [a.k.a. Shaffer Smith]decided to focus on his own career. Judging by the quality of songs on this debut, his creative well is not running dry anytime soon. The kick-off single, So Sick showcases the same tenderness evident in his Mario hit, as does much of this slow-jam heavy CD. Smith also shines on the Michael Jackson-esque Sign Me Up, giving props to the icon in the chorus by singing I just wanna rock with you with beat-fueled bravado. Ne-Yo's songs come from a love of seventies and eighties soul; as a result, his music contains some unique samples, including an O'Jays lick [on the sexy Get Down Like That], and a Switch snippet [on It Just Ain’t Right]. Surprisingly, for such a hooked-up songwriter, he has limited the number of guest performers on the disc to just one, rapper Peedi Peedi performs on the disc opener, Stay. The depth of the final track, Time, clinches the hunch.
Ne-Yo is taking the music industry by storm, as he graces and challenges popular music with his writing and vocal talents. Much more than today's male singer, Ne-Yo is a rare artist; expressing creativity through drawings, paintings, martial arts and song. He is distinguished by youthful energy with in-depth lyrics that touch the soul.
