Save for Brandy and Keyshia Cole, Ne-Yo is one of the only R&B staples to succeed in crafting cuts both to true to the genre, but ‘catchy’ enough to draw in the casual listener.
A credit to his skill as a writer, today saw the unveiling of a new number by the star named ‘Should Be You‘, featuring ‘Street Dreams’ MC Fabolous and ‘Last Train To Paris‘ mastermind Diddy. Packing a laid back vibe and an infectious hook, the cut appears on the singer’s new LP ‘RED’, due out November 6th.
R&B genius below…

Good luck Ne-Yo,you need it
NeYo SHOULD BE above writing these one-line-and-repeat hooks. In this song, it is NOT catchy, it’s lazy.
Is anybody even still checking for this project? I was with Lazy Love, but not so much now.
Well i loved lazy love, let me love you and forever now….so yeah im checking for this album
Haven’t been feeling Ne-Yo for a good minute now, but thought I should listen as him and Fabolous usually drop really good tracks together.
Not this time. Meh.
So now were back to being black, I see. I swear, I don’t know how these sellout R&B singers these days don’t wind up splitting into multiple personalities, as much as they like to flip flop from hood jam to emo rave.
LEGENDARY. Love this song.
love it !
So far the 5 tracks I’ve heard from this album sound better than the whole of Usher’s and Trey Songz albums, so will deff be buying when it drops!
I like this it has an old school vibe like diddy and mario Winans
I Love this!! It was def sent from the R&B Gawds to slay Urban Charts 🙂 …R.E.D dropped in Japan today its already #1 on their iTunes. I’m checking for this & so far the tracks that I heard are knocking all your fave R&B/Pop boys out of the game! Yasss slay Ne-Yo SLAY!!
