"Ne-Yo - Closer" (Video)

If You Haven't Heard It By Now, Where You Been? Ne-Yo Is Back (Like He Ever Left?), With His Brand New Single - Closer.

Since originally hearing & reviewing this track, I have grown to like it even more than I did originally, this new club/dance feel that Ne-Yo is pushing seems like a real good look. Closer has a real polished feel to it, without losing that musical creativity that Ne-Yo can bring to the table.

The video continues this streak, with something a little more 'conceptual' than we are usually used to from the king of R&B radio tunes. I like the concept, the choreography & the overall 'feel' of the video. This really seems to be shaping up to be - The Year Of The Gentleman.

"Ne-Yo - Closer"

Who Knew Ne-Yo Was Prepping A New Album Already? Not Me, That's For Sure.


The project, entitled - Year Of The Gentleman is pencilled in for release on June the 24th & promises to move Ne-Yo in a new direction. Instead of the 'conventional' or contemporary R&B, he is apparently opting for a more international Club/Dance feel.

This seems to be a new trend for R&B artists, with Danity Kane, Beyonce, Michelle Williams & now Ne-Yo all heading for the European scene. Still, from what I have heard from these artists, it seems to be a good look.

Closer is one hot joint, it's fast paced, banging production, catchy lyrics & top vocal arrangements make for one of the most addictive tracks I have heard in a long time, it will be an international smash, I guarantee it [gulp].
