With ‘Let Me Love You’ still riding high on singles charts the world over, it’s safe to say the latest era of Ne-Yo‘s career is shaping up to be all flavours of successful.

Indeed, despite its supporting album ‘R.E.D’ struggling to live up commercial expectations in the US, the album’s European chart run has seen the singer’s stock as a live act flourish as a result- as seen in the launch of his UK arena tour.

A feat very few acts from any market can say they achieved in the last decade, Mr ‘Compound’s current touring venture  has already seen him sell 20,000 tickets for a single date at London’s 02 Arena, no doubt cementing his status as one of R&B’s strongest contenders.

Not sure what all the fuss is about?

Looks like Sisters With Voices (SWV) will be joining the Braxton and Campbell (Mary Mary) sisters on the WeTV reality front if reports are to be believed.  The Grammy-nominated trio, who have delivered such hits as ‘You’re the One’, ‘Weak’, and ‘Rain’, are looking to make a splash on TV come late 2013.

Fans may remember the group took a nearly decade long hiatus after lead singer Cheryl Coko Clemons announced plans to pursue a solo gospel career, but returned to charts in 2012 with their hit R&B record ‘Co-Sign’.
