GET CLOSER TO NE-YO!
To celebrate the pre-release of Ne-Yo's brand new track CLOSER we are giving you the chance to ask him any question you want , we'll film his answer in Las Vegas and make it available for everyone to see from May 19th on www.defjam.co.uk/neyo
The brand new album, Year of the Gentleman, is set for release June 23rd and has been heavily influenced by Ne-Yo's travels through Europe and in particular London, staying at his favourite hotel, the Courthouse, Ne-Yo would sometimes sit at the bar and write songs.
"It's funny, because the hotel used to be a real courthouse," he says. "There was also a small jailhouse in there where supposedly David Bowie and Mick Jagger were both held at one time."
"Closer," is an electro-excursion in the glam of Euro-disco. "I just love the beat on that record," says Ne-Yo. "When I was hanging-out in clubs in London, everything had energy. I wanted to merge that sound with American soul music, and `Closer' is the end result."
