Ne-Yo may have collected criticaly acclaim aplenty for his latest album, the July 15-released ‘Self Explanatory,’ but the LP hasn’t been able to boast that same success commercially.

Entering the Billboard 200 at #184 this week, the project marks his first studio effort to debut outside of the top 40 on the tally.

Undeterred by the slow start, the singer-songwriter (born Shaffer Smith) is pressing forward with showcasing more of the tunes found aboard ‘Self Explanatory.’  Having already won over R&B lovers with the set’s housed cuts ‘You Got the Body,’ ‘U 2 Luv,’ ‘Don’t Love Me,’ and ‘Stay Down,’ the GRAMMY winner is following those gems with a visual for the new song ‘Handle Me Gently.’

Look inside to see the clip, which acts as a behind-the-scenes glimpse of sorts showing how the 42-year-old makes musical magic in the studio.
