Ne-Yo, the three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning R&B hitmaker, iconic songwriter, actor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, has sold a cumulative 20+ million adjusted albums worldwide. His debut single, 2005’s “So Sick,” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified quadruple Platinum. Since then, the Motown Records/Compound Entertainment recording artist has racked up a collection of hits including “Sexy Love,” “Closer,” “Because of You,” “Miss Independent,” and “Push Back” [feat. Bebe Rexha and Stefflon Don]. Three of his albums have entered SoundScan’s Top Current Albums chart at No. 1.

Ne-Yo has also proven to be as powerful with his pen as he is in the studio and on stage. The Las Vegas native quickly became known as a go-to hitmaker, penning bangers like Rihanna’s “Unfaithful,” “Russian Roulette,” and “Take a Bow,” along with Beyoncé’s 2006 breakup anthem “Irreplaceable” and songs for such artists as Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Carrie Underwood, and Celine Dion, among others.

Ne-Yo’s film and television credits include NBC’s World of Dance, Empire, Stomp the Yard, Save the Last Dance, Battle: Los Angeles, George Lucas’ Red Tails, The Wiz Live! and Starz’ Step Up: High Water. Most recently, Ne-Yo released a slew of new singles – “Stay Down” [feat. Yung Bleu], “Don’t Love Me,” and “You Got the Body” – paving the way for his anxiously awaited eighth album, Self Explanatory, due out July 15, 2022.

He initially set the stage for the record with “Don’t Love Me,” which gathered over 1.8 million Spotify streams and over 2 million YouTube views on the music video. Earning critical acclaim, Vibe hailed the visual as “his most cinematic thus far” and predicted, “‘Don’t Love Me’ sets the tone for Ne-Yo’s long-awaited new album.” REVOLT noted, “The R&B veteran continues his longtime run of penning songs with love-related truths.”

The fan favorite single “Stay Down” [feat. Yung Bleu] notably generated 3.1 million Spotify streams and over 3 million YouTube views on the music video. Inciting critical applause, Rated R&B proclaimed, “Ne-Yo alluded to cooking up some fire, and his new single ‘Stay Down’ featuring Yung Bleu is a strong indication of that work,” and Ebony spoke to him about the track in an extensive profile.
