Last night saw R&B force Ne-Yo preview his latest collection of hits – a set he has christened ‘R.E.D’.
A stylized acronym for ‘Realizing Every Dream’, the LP is important for more than serving as the star’s 5th studio album.
His last outing ‘Libra Scale’, spawned hits, yet little in the way of commercial nor critical acclaim. Blessed with a fresh and firmer slate by way of his new deal at Universal Motown (where he also serves as SVP of A&R), the 32 year old is gearing up to release the set (his first on the label) on September 18th.
Assembling a who’s who of the British media in Central London, the hitmaker provided a 7-track taste of the opus – which was preceded by a glowing endorsement by Ethiopia Habtemariam – the Senior Vice President of Motown Records.
Our exclusive preview of ‘R.E.D’ awaits after the jump…
