The last album by Ne-Yo was released four years ago, but the wait is now ended.
On July 15, the R&B artist will release his eighth studio album, Self Explanatory. The 13-song collection contains previously released songs by Jeremih (“U 2 Luv”) and Bleu (“Stay Down”), as well as collaborations with Trippie Redd (“Push Up”) and Zae France (“Layin’ Low”). Last month, Ne-Yo released a video for his sensuous track “You Got the Body.”
“I want people to take away from this album simply music to live life to and music to feel some emotion to,” he told Jalen Rose. ” We got to a point in music when the sensation had gone down a little. Everyone is really tough and chill. People are afraid of being vulnerable. That openness, that capacity to enter another person’s heart, is what draws us together.
