A definite keeper for his new album and strong candidate for first single is a song called "Because of You," which he sang in the vocal booth at Sony last week. "This one kinda picks up where 'Sexy Love' left off," he explained before heading into the booth. The quasi-sequel marks another collaboration between Ne-Yo and producers Stargate, who helmed a bunch of In My Own Words tracks as well as Ne-Yo's biggest hits as a songwriter, "Irreplaceable" and Rihanna's "Unfaithful. He might have too much of a good thing in "Because of You," but on another track he played, "Angel," he hasn't quite locked down the girl the way he would like. Ne-Yo is also deciding whether to call in some "favors" from collaborators, such as his Scream partners and MCs like Jay-Z and Fabolous, whose albums he appears on. Production-wise, he plans to keep a lot of the same folks who helped on In My Words, such as Shay Taylor. THE FIRST SINGLE LEAKED TODAY.  |

I love the song. I didn't think I would like it when it first started, but once the chorus kicked it I was feeling it.

This song does not sound like an amalgamation of his other songs AT ALL. Even though it takes some getting used to, I'm glad he debut with a mid-tempo single that brings a slightly different feel and edge than any of his other singles have thus far.

Update:
Either the Rihanna song was a fake or has been scrapped because it was announced today that Jennifer Hudson will be the ONLY guest on Ne-Yo's album.
And the album has an official title: Know Me

There was a press release in my e-mail this morning. I'll check and see if there's an official article floating around anywhere.

Ne-Yo In The 'Know' On Sophomore Album
February 22, 2007, 4:45 PM ET - Mariel Concepcion, N.Y.
With his Def Jam debut, "In My Own Words," having topped The Billboard 200 and sold 1.4 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, 2006 was a very good year for R&B newcomer Ne-Yo. Now, the singer/songwriter is jumping right back into the mix with a new album, "Know Me," due April 24.
Though "Know Me" boasts contributions from producers such as Stargate, Heavy Weights, Nephew (responsible for the first single off the debut, "Stay") and Big D and Ish, Ne-Yo regretfully admits he didn't get to work with one specific musical mastermind. "Scheduling didn't allow for stuff to go down with Timbaland; we just never got around to it," he says. "Not to say we won't work on something in the future."
The first single from the new album, "Because of You," recently began making rounds on radio. Ne-Yo hopes the second single will be a track titled "Call Me Crazy," which he describes as an "infatuation song, from when I was slightly infatuated with this one young lady."
"I'm not 100% finished [with the album], but it's definitely shaping up to what I wanted it to be," Ne-Yo continues. "I have a multifaceted personality, and I definitely touched on these facets on this record. I hope people listen to it with an open mind, because I took a lot of risks on this one."
The 24-year-old Las Vegas native has also been busy penning tracks for other artists. He says he's chatted with will.i.am about contributing to Michael Jackson's new album ("But again, we keep missing each other," he notes), and is also tipped to write for new projects from Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Celine Dion, Usher, Chris Brown and Jennifer Hudson, who is the only featured guest on "Know Me."
