Album streaming is out! It's an ok record actually. It's important I guess to not measure his music with the first two albums because if so nothing will match up. "Take You There" is taking me there

Not a damn thing captivated me outside of Time of Our Lives. I'm officially convinced he'll never match the above-average-to-greatness of his first three albums.

I think this is going to replace Libra Scale as my least favorite Ne-Yo album. Boring as all hell.

After his first three (Year of the Gentleman is still my favorite), I only bought R.E.D, which I somehow loved but it had great singles that got me into the rest of the album. Stress Relief should have seen a release. Anyway, I don't know what it will take to make me care about him again.

Here's my two cents: definitely some good songs on this album, but they're A.) very subtle and B.) outnumbered by filler. Any quality here just gets lost in the shuffle. This is a LONG album and too boring to listen to over and over til the standout tracks finally hit.
I do think, however, some eventually would, as that's always been Ne-Yo's way. Remember when "Do You" first came out in 2007? The initial reaction online was hardly excitement, but since Ne-Yo was still "it" then the song was given due attention anyway and it eventually became a fan favorite.
Imo "Run/An Island" is a quality Urban track, "Congratulations" is a quality UAC track, and "Coming With You" and "Who's Taking You Home" are among his better dance/pop songs. "Why" sounds like a Euro hit. So really, just shave 50% off of this 21-track album so listening to the laudable tracks isn't such a damn chore.

Unfortunately, it sounds like he phone in most of these songs. He definitely lost that spark that he had with first three albums. Great melodies and convincing vocals just left his body.
"Coming With You" is still great though. I guess, there are cute tracks here and there on the album (couldn't remember any off the top of my head though)

I'm curious as to what you think of Stress Reliever from R.E.D.

This album overall is a boring mess. The lyrics on "Non-Fiction" and "Integrity" are borderline cringe-worthy. "Money Can't Buy Love" and especially "She Knows" are total JAMS! At least I got a few bops off this mess.

He's having a single concert here in Phoenix tomorrow with Mila J opening. Wonder what the set list will be.

I listened to the Deluxe version. To me that version is taking off with "Money Can't Buy". There are a couple of cool tracks before that one but most of it bore me.

Ne-Yo Confirms Divorce with Wife Crystal Smith (VIDEO) NE-YOBY RICKEY YANEZA FEBRUARY 16, 2020 Ne-Yo confirms he and wife Crystal Smith are divorcing after rumors surface Singer Ne-Yo has confirmed that he and wife Crystal Smith are getting a divorce. Ne-Yo put the rumors to rest on the privatetalkpodcast on Instagram. Ne-Yo and Crystal were engaged in September 2015 and married in February 20, 2016. They have two children: sons Shaffer Chimere Smith, Jr. and Roman Alexander-Raj Smith. Ne-Yo said on privatetalkpodcast: It’s slowly but surely becoming public knowledge that myself and my wife have decided to go ahead and get a divorce. It’s not a sad thing, it’s more of a us realizing... long story short, I’m never gonna talk bad about her. I’m not that person. There’s nothing bad to say about her. She’s a fantastic woman. She’s the mother of my children and she’s always gonna be that. He adds that his demons and his wife's demons don't mix ... so it's the end of that chapter in his life (not the book).

I've checked out a few of his performances on the show, and he did such a great job, even if you could recognize his voice if you're familiar enough with his work (and I've been having "Because Of You", "Closer", "Miss Independent", and "Time Of Our Lives" on repeat lately).
Great exposure for him as well, which is nice! My favorite covers out of those I've seen are probably Kelly's "Because Of You" and Miley's "Wrecking Ball".
On another note, why am I just finding out his stage name was actually inspired by Neo from The Matrix? 😂
