There are VERY few new school R&B artists that I'd buy a CD from without listening to it first. Too many are trying to be singing rappers and not doing a very good job of it, but I can always depend on Ne-Yo to bring the heat. I was a little concerned because I didn't care for "Beautiful Monster." It was that techno, pop, dance sign I usually avoid, and the chorus was annoying. However, I thought "Champagne Life" was a sexy song. Then I heard the rest of the CD. I'm not a big Fabolous fan, but he snapped on "Crazy Love." I love the beat and the snap rhythm to that song, and I enjoyed Ne-Yo's voice, but Fabolous' line about Geico cracks me up every time. Great song! It's definitely my favorite. Some other songs that kept me rocking back and forth were "Makin' a Movie," "Know Your Name" (beautiful, romantic song that's great for that late night get-in-the-mood deal) and "Telekinesis." I used to think "One in a Million" was cool, but I'm tired of hearing it and seeing the same performance over and over again. "Genuine Only" and "Cause I Said So" are all right, but I don't play them too heavy. "What Have I Done?" reminds me of Michael Jackson, and I have mixed feelings about it. I like it when Ne-Yo has his own feel, but every once in awhile I'll catch him doing a song that reminds me so much of MJ that it's hard to picture Ne-Yo singing it (I felt the same way about the end of "Lie to Me" on the "Year of the Gentleman" album). Either way, I'd recommend this album. I wish there were more than 10 songs, but if you get it during the $9.99 sale, $1 per song isn't bad.
