In My Own Words - Ne-Yo

...question remains as to where in the RnB culture does he stand? To be honest with all those reading, I really don’t know. The album contains sources of different aspects of the genre. By this I mean that it contains elements of Pop/RnB, a hint of Blues to strict jumpy rhythm. Therefore I’ve decided to include the track list as well as a little about each song. TRACKLIST 1) Stay (feat. Peedi Crack) - I didn’t know what to expect after I purchased ...
...Me Get This Right – In this song Ne-Yo kind of tells a story so to speak. He really wants to get with someone but is explaining in my opinion how he’s become friends with someone, and their feelings have developed into something else – which they both want to be a relationship. Not one of my personal favourites. My Rating 7/10 3) So Sick – It’s apparent that his thoughts are based on a previous relationship which ended due to outside influences. ...

Review of In My Own Words - Ne-Yo

In 2006 the R&B singer Ne-Yo released his debut album entitled “In My Own Words”, bursting on the scene at the same time as the youngster Chris Brown to change the face of mainstream R&B and who dominates the male field. 1. “Stay” Although it was “So Sick” which initially brought attention his way in the UK, this was his first single, and personally I saw it as one of his best tracks to date as you see that on some classic samples from the Hip Hop ...
...going for something which fits in much more with the side of R&B which takes on minimalistic influence from Hip Hop, and I felt that it was good to establish this early on as it has him guide you into the type of thing which dominates the album, and shows what he has to offer with it. **Four Stars** 3. “So Sick” In the UK, this was the artist’s breakthrough single, and I can see how the mainstream appeal of the song allowed him to infiltrate into ...

NeYo- In My Own Words Here is a list of the tracks on this album: Stay ft Peedi Peedi Let Me Get This Right So Sick When You’re Mad It Just Ain’t Right Mirror Sign Me Up I Ain’t Gotta Tell You Get Down Like That Sexy Love Let Go Time Girlfriend Review: This is a fantastic album for such a young, great debutant. He has great talent and potential and his fab second album proves this as well. Unfortunately, there are many songs that ...
...mean they are badly sung; in fact they are extraordinarily sung, just bad songs. But you can see from some of the songs that the lyrics and emotion is there, just not the selection. Overall this is a good album and the good songs are so outstandingly good, that they make you forget about the bad songs. The only downer on this album (and it is a big downer) is how easy it is to forget some of the songs. Personally, I would only buy the two singles ...

Review of In My Own Words - Ne-Yo

This young man is multi-talented - from his smooth vocals and singing, his music writing and his dancing...another RnB artist I am a huge fan of! I have every album he has released so far and they're all fantastic. 'In my Own Words' is Neyo's debut album. Prior to getting the album release, I'd listened to the singles 'So Sick' and 'Sexy Love' which are my two favourites from this album and I still listen to them occassionally. The lyrics, the voice ...
...tracks are very catchy and grow on you quite easily, you can't fail to like them:) Other great tracks on the album include 'When You're Mad' which has a great video too (you should watch it as it showcases some of his dance moves..), like 'Get Down like That' as it has really interesting lyrics and is pretty cool, 'Time' showcases his versatility and ability to sing high notes and is another slow song on this album. The whole album is great, each ...

...Ne-Yo set a new trend in the R'n'B and soul style. He has his own signature sound and lyrics, which is very sleek sexy but very playful. Songs that prove this in this album are 'When you are mad', 'Stay', 'It just ain't Right'. They have a lively beat and make you want to sing along. Those songs are very sexy and catchy. Apart from that Ne -Yo proves that his vocals are strong and capable of achieving something memorable like in the songs 'Tome' ...

...great voice is shown off in this album with tracks like So Sick, Sexy Love, Time and Let Go. In my opinion, if this album is what his future albums will be like, he could be bigger than Usher. The beats are very 'feel good' with no tracks being a let down, unlike many other R&B albums at the minute. The opening track, Stay With Me, made me question whether all the other tracks would be able to stay as good, or be a typical album being quantity over ...
