This award winning new artist definately deserves it. Not only does he write beautiful lyrics for himself and other artist but his new album is the best non-edm album I've heard this year. While other young artists in his genre like Chris Brown have fancy dance moves , their music lacks lyrics.Neyos lyrics and story telling are deep and pull you in at the same time. Some of the artists he's written music for include Mary J. Blige, B2K, Faith Evans, Musiq, Beyonce, and many more. He started writing at an early age and his album release had taken the #1 R&B billboard spot for a while. His new album has so many well written tracks with soulful melodies. These are a couple of my favorites from his new releases.

If there's any TAs who listen to R&B on the side, I highly recommend this album.

Neyo - Make it work (Dance version by Shane Sparks)




Ne-yo - Do you

Wait, who declared him 2007 Artist Of The Year?

Eww. The backing track on the first video sounds like it was taken straight from the MIDI.

What awards has this person won, exactly?

What the heck?

BET best R&B artist.

It's not a grammy , lol but it's the top R&B award given by the biggest African American Music channel owned by the same company that owns MTV. But like Jerry Seinfeld said about awards they don't mean much. It's really what your personal opinion is.


Here's a cleaner version of that make it work song, I love the lyrics. For anyone who's been or still is in a serious relatrionship, you'd understand where he's coming from.

Ah, I was wondering who had said that...

In my opinion, whoever is crowned "artist of the year" should be someone doing something different from everything else that's out on the market and still making it work. He's just doing a good job with a sound that has been tried and tested, from what I can tell in this thread.

Sad times for R&B.

Surely you jest? Here in SA, he is shoved done everyone's throat everyday on the radio - that awful "Because Of You" honestly has reached the point of sickening me when I hear it. Indeed it is dark days for rnb, I think the best hope they have is Timbaland, and even his stuff is sucking at the moment - sounds better on other peoples records than on his own!

This is HORRIBLE

Old, unoriginal, recycled generic downtempo R&B. This just does nothing for me.

I don't understand why people post R'n'B threads on a Trance forum!!
R'n'B is musically, the polar opposite to Trance. I'd say most 'Trance Addicts' here hate rnb, so if u want to talk about it, go to the Chill Out Room. This is the music discussion "... where you can talk about Trance, or any electronic music".
I dont mean to be harsh, its just i come here to read about Armin, Ferry, Above & Beyond and such, not Ne-yo!
