More Info:

Grammy-Award winner Ne-Yo, who has impressed audiences with his talents since his 2006 with his multi-platinum, chart topping debut, in My Own Words, is fed up with the sloppiness of current R&B. with Ne- Yo's third disc, YEAR OF THE GENTLEMAN, the Las Vegas native and premier songwriter has constructed a suite of songs that shows exactly what he means by class. Written over the course of travels through Europe last year and influenced by his own fascination with the Rat Pack. In addition to penning this new collection, Ne-Yo once again showed his writing prowess, penning lyrics for Rihanna, Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige and Celine Dion as well as the chart topping, record breaking, Grammy nominated song "Irreplaceable" for Beyoncé. Moving beyond the competition by just being himself, Ne-Yo's Year of the Gentleman is right on time to usher in a new era of "world music."

Reviews:

''Year of the Gentleman'' is the third studio album by American R&B and pop singer-songwriter Ne-Yo, released September 16, 2008 on Def Jam Recordings in the United States. The album was met with generally favorable reviews from most music critics, as well as a considerable amount of commercial success and sales. - Wikipedia

The Arkansas-born R&B heartthrob has spent his entire career writing hits for just about any pop star you can think of; well, it's time for them to give back. Appearing on his third solo album: BeyoncÃ, Jay-Z, T-Pain, John Mayer, Patrick Stump, Alicia Keys and Lil Wayne. You'd think Gentleman was a Darfur benefit or something. While Yo hasn't stepped out from behind the curtain the way Kanye has, it just might be time for his close-up.
