Along with his usual hustle of penning hits for other R&B stars, Ne-Yo is hard at work on his third album.
The singer told MTV that he’s deep in the recording process for the disc, which will be the follow-up to last year’s Grammy-winning Because of You. The tentative title, The Year of the Gentleman, reflects on where Ne-Yo wants the R&B genre to go.
"I'm trying to take it back to where you couldn't walk out of the house unless you looked your best. Back in the day of, say, the Rat Pack and Nat King Cole ... any picture you ever see, they're suited and everything is right from top to bottom,” he said. “Not saying it has to be a suit, 'cause clothes don't make the man — it's the attitude and person. The music needs to personify that.”
He added that the album dabbles between urban and pop. The first single, “Closer,” just hit the airwaves.
"The third [LP] is more of the good [music]," he said. "The second album proved I'm here to stay. I won a Grammy for that one. So, I'm here to win more Grammys. At the same time, I love what it is I do, so [this is] another excuse for me to pen more facets of my personality."
Damn this fool just dropped his last album not even a year ago. He needs to take a break cause his last album was almost exactly like the first one. I'm sure he's smart enough not to drop the same time Usher does. The new single is tight though, it sounds different from what he usually does.

I think it can be a big single if Def Jam pushes it like all his other ****.

I'm really feeling the new single. You're right though Keaf, his 2nd album was basically like the first one. I still loved it though. If this first single is any indication, we're going to hear a new sound from Ne-Yo. Looking forward to it.

I enjoy Ne-Yo's music, and I can't wait for this 3rd album to drop but you guys are right he is releasing these albums too fast.

Ne-Yo’s third album Year of the Gentleman has been pushed back to August 5th. It had previously been scheduled for a June 24th release, but has been moved after the lead single “Closer” failed to ignite at radio.
