Ne-Yo Interview Source:sohh.com
New R&B crooner Ne-Yo is no newbie at all. He's has been pushing the pen for the likes of Mary J. Blige, Musiq Soulchild, B2K, Faith Evans and most notably Mario on the #1 single “Let Me Love You”.
Sohh, what brings a successful songwriter to the forefront as a singer? It could be because he thinks Omarion is lip synching or maybe he thought Mario really didn't do "Let Me Love You" that much justice.
As Ne-Yo gets ready for a Feb 28th album release with his 2nd single "So Sick", SOHH Soulful checks in and tries to figure it all out!
Moving from songwriter to singer is huge. What happened to make you say you are uniquely qualified to sing these songs? I honestly believe it’s that I have something to say. And no one is going to be able to say it the way that I do. I don’t feel that anyone else can deliver the messages in these songs the way that I can.
Have you ever worked under someone you thought were less talented than you? No names. Yes. It was real interesting to say the least. And the person was real mouthy and had an attitude and real stank about every. I was thinking “you ain’t gonna sing this song as good as me anyway.” But you have to remain professional. I’m not the dude that’s gonna bark at someone in the studio. You’re singing MY song.
So what's the first thing that comes to mind when I mention the name Omarion? Lip Synching
Did Mario sing “Let Me Love You” the way you thought he should? Mario sang “Let Me Love You” better than I than I expected him to.
usic artists seem you be getting younger and younger, the music world seems adore its legends, how do feel about artists like Diana Ross being dropped from a label or artist like Patti and her own 'transitions' with Def Jam? People aren’t doing music for the love of it anymore. A lot of people do this because there is money to be made and fast. That tends to be the motivating factor. They think people aren’t gonna feel a Diana Ross because she is older and no one is gonna buy her music.
Ne-Yo has already proven himself as a talented songwriter, we'll have to sit back, watch and see if he can make hits for himself as big as he did for Mario.
