After a brief hiatus, R&B maestro Ne-Yo is back.
Last year’s ‘Libra Scale’ saw the singer-songwriter suffer his first major set-back, following a string of Platinum selling LP’s.
Looking to right the wrongs of his last outing, the singer-songwriter spoke with That Grape Juice TV about his new album at the Michael Jackson Forever tribute in Cardiff, Wales over the weekend.
There, he EXCLUSIVELY revealed the name of the LP – ‘The Cracks In Mr Perfect’, as well as its scheduled release window.
Also shared were his thoughts on the King of Pop’s legacy, as well a personal MJ moment he’ll forever treasure.

THANK YOU I LOOOOOOOOOOVE U. U took the words right outta my mouth. u remember when neyo came out with so sick???????everyone including BEYONCE, TYRA BANKS….and me lol…immediately took notice. i remember TYRA even said she was so hooked she googled him
I used to STAN for him during his ‘so sick’ days and i thought “who is this boy? he is bringing REAL MUSIC back!!”
then he started doing the likes of closer(I HATE THAT SONG) and working with PITBULL, trying to dance( GIVE IT UP. U CANT DANCE) and i started losing interest in him. if he stuck to his formula, it wud have worked (think ciara) but he disappointed me and did the dance craze

OMG! That techno pop shit he tried to pull last year was so wack!
“She’s a monster! But I don’t mind.” Are you dead serious? Ne-Yo is far too talented to come out with crap like that.
He better not disappoint me again. I want the masterful songwriter we grew to love last decade to come back.

LIBRA SCALE was a good album. The only bad song to me is Beautiful Monster, the rest is “classic Ne-Yo” – his brand of r&b. People need to stop spreading lies on these blogs about albums & people need to stop being sheep listening to lies without checking things out for themselves.

If Ne-Yo is doing more mindless dance crap, like “Closer” and “Beautiful Monster,” then fuck him. Go back to “So Sick” or go home.

[...] Ne-Yo announces new album title. ThatGrapeJuice was able to catch up with R&B singer, Ne-Yo, after his “Billie Jean” performance for the “Michael Jackson Forever” tribute concert in Wales. Ne-Yo was able to share his experiences about the performance, about meeting Michael Jackson himself, and announcing the title of his upcoming album. Ne-Yo described the performance as invigorating, nerve-racking, but it was gratifying at the end, even mentioning the difficulty of doing Michael Jackson’s “moonwalk”. With regards to his fondest memories of the late King of Pop, he told how he and MJ met in New York and talked about music and MJ’s comeback album and how MJ confessed that he is a fan of Ne-Yo’s music, which completely blew his mind. Ne-Yo confessed that he turned into a 6-year-old girl when MJ sang one of his songs to him. From there he exclusively revealed that his next album will be titled, “The Cracks In Mr. Perfect”. Check out the video below to find out what the album is about and as its scheduled release. [Source] [...]

Screw all the haters. Ne-Yo is an all-rounded musician. Him being a songwriter makes him that way because he doesn’t just stick to ONE genre. Ne-Yo takes music and turn it into his own perspective! That is why he is my favorite artist. Either you like it or not; it is not necessary to trash talk his work ethics.
