Ne-Yo's New Album Will Be 'Predominately R&B': Exclusive — billboard.com

Sorry dance fans, Ne-Yo is going back to R&B. It's not that he didn't have a good time. He even thanks the dance community for "accepting him," but the singer/songwriter – who doubles as Sr. VP of A&R at Motown Records – will be returning to his "roots" on the next album. "As of right this second my main focus is my new album," he tells Billboard's The Juice of his upcoming full-length, due this summer. "It'll be out probably towards the summertime, predominately R&B this time. I had a little stint with the dance music and all of that, which I had a good time with-- and I love the audience, I love them for accepting me doing it --but I had to go home on this one. Had to take it back to my roots, and not to say that there won't be one, maybe two songs on there that the dance crowd can get into, but the majority, the girth of the album, will be R&B."
