Neyo Chats to David Craig
Shaffer Chimere Smith (born October 18, 1982), known as "Ne-Yo", is a Grammy
Award-nominated American R&B and R&B singer-songwriter. Urbanscot Online caught
up with him last week on his UK visit to catch up with him and to get all the
Goss.....
Ne-Yo's debut album, In My Own Words, was released in early 2006, through Def
Jam Records, and debuted at number one on Billboard 200, selling over 301,000
copies in the first week. During the same week, Ne-Yo's second single "So Sick"
(produced by Stargate) was the number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Ne-Yo is as famous for his songwriting as with his singing, writing such songs
as Rihanna's Top 10 hit, "Unfaithful", Mario's "Let Me Love You", Mario
Vazquez's "Gallery", Paula DeAnda's "Walk Away (Remember Me)" and Beyoncé's 10
week number one hit on Billboard Hot 100 chart, "Irreplaceable". Ne-Yo has
announced that his sophomore album, Because of You, will be released May 1,
2007. The first single from the album, Because of You, is out now. He has also
said that he has written songs for Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Britney Spears
and Enrique Iglesias for their upcoming albums. Smith also has stated that he
will write songs for Usher, Chris Brown, Jennifer Hudson, and he recently
confirmed that he has been contacted by producer Will.i.am for working on
Michael Jackson's upcoming album.
Ne Yo Single "Because of You" is available to download now, and it out in the
shops on 16th April, and the album of the same title is released 30th April..
