And while the LP is home to the well-received cuts ‘Dance Right Now,’ ‘Thinking What I’m Thinking,’ ‘Up Out & Gone,’ and ‘Simple Things,’ none have garnered the warm reception of the line-dance ready single ‘Ms. Tundra.’

“Went and got me a country girl with a big ol’ butt (Big ol’ butt) / And I call her Ms. Tundra ’cause she built like a truck (Built like a truck) / Anytime I get hungry, she serve it right up / She got them hips, got them thighs / Woo, got me ready to ride,” he sings over Chuck Harmony production.

Having already drummed up ample buzz for the tune by his lonesome, Ne-Yo went to get reinforcement by enlisting help from some of modern Country music’s standout Black male performers on its remixes: Tonio Armani, 803Fresh, and Mike Clark, Jr.

Shining a much-needed spotlight on the genre’s new class of African American vocalists, look inside to hear each updated take on ‘Tundra.’
