In My Own Words, released in early 2006, was a major success for Ne-Yo. It was a number one album supported by two Top Ten singles and a third that peaked in the Top 20. As it kept gathering steam, the singer/songwriter/producer shrewdly continued to write for others: Rihanna's Top Ten "Unfaithful" and Beyoncé's number one "Irreplaceable" kept his profile on the rise through the end of the year. Indicating that he still has quality material to spare, Because of You comes just a little after a year after his debut, and it is just as solid. Though some of the accomplices remain, such as the Norwegian StarGate team (his partners on "So Sick," "Sexy Love," "Unfaithful," and "Irreplaceable") and Ron Feemster, the key to the album's potency and freshness is its differences from In My Own Words. None of the debut's singles were as upbeat as this album's lead single, "Because of You," a sophisticated yet youthful song for the dancefloor, one of many instances where it's evident that Ne-Yo has thoroughly absorbed Michael Jackson and Rod Temperton's rich vocal arrangements on Off the Wall. The album's closing quarter fulfills the contemporary ballad quota, but the preceding quarter provides imaginative and surprisingly adventurous arrangements, as well as some of the nastiest hooks. "Sex with My Ex," the wildest of these three songs, is somewhere between a screwed-and-chopped mix of Prince's "Delirious" and Diddy's "Last Night," its hard beat and synthesizer rays twisted into knots. It's also one of several moments where a newfound swagger is just as convincing as that of prime Usher. Making it to number one on your own, writing a major hit for one of the planet's most popular entertainers, and qualifying as the heir to R. Kelly can have that effect. Executive producer Jay-Z seems to know exactly what he has on his hands: on "Crazy," he completes his verse within the first 30 seconds, allowing his R&B franchise star to take over with no interruptions. ~ Andy Kellman Ne-Yo Because Of You Songs Because Of You Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Magnificent

Go Head Ne-Yo!!! Can't wait until he come out with the next
I love this CD!! I can't hear it enough. The beats matches his harmonic voice. Go On Girl is one of my favorite songs. I didn't really listen to the first Album, but after listening to this I had to back track to see what I have been missing. Ne-Yo has outdone himself and I can't wait until the next album. Make sure to listen to "Make IT Work!!" That is my favorita also on this album. "Say It" is also good. Well, this whole album is great

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  ITS A LITTLE MORE THAN OKAY
i STILL LUV NEYO AND FEEL THAT HE CAN WRITE SOME FANTASTIC LYRICS BUT I DON'T LIKE THIS ALBUM AS MUCH AS HIS 1ST ONE I FEEL THAT HE TRIES TO BE A CROSS BETWEEN PRINCE AND MICHAEL JACKSON ON SOME SONGS, THOUGH THEY ARE BOTH GREAT ARTIST, NEYO SHOULD TRY TO USE SOME OF THEIR ELEMENTS BUT NOT COPY COMPLETELY. HE SHOULD HAVE PUT MORE OF HIS OWN FLAVOR TO IT. hOWEVER THERE ARE STILL SOME SONGS SUCH AS CAN WE CHILL, AND NOT LEAVING TONITE FEAT, JENIFER hUDSON THAT HAVE THAT SMOOTH NEYO FEEL TO IT THAT WE ALL LUV. THATS WHY I THINK THAT THIS ALBUM IS A LITTLE MORE THAN OKAY.

Purchase Because Of You CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chamillionaire Sound Of Revenge CD (2005) Parental Advisory
Because Of You
 $13.15  
Personnel: Chamillionaire (rap vocals); Killer Mike, Krayzie Bone, Lil Wayne, Pastor Troy, Rasaq, Scarface, Lil' Flip, Natalie , Bun B (rap vocals).
With THE SOUND OF REVENGE, Chamillionaire's 2005 Universal debut, the Houston-based rapper makes the most of his major-label deal, which includes his own Chamillitary imprint. On SOR, Paul Wall's former collaborator amps up that duo's signature chopped-and-screwed mixtape sound with heavy-duty arrangements that expertly showcase Chamillionaire's deep, husky voice. The introductory title track is marked by machine-gun beats, and establishes the album's fierce, restless mood. But the disc's highlight is the utterly infectious single "Turn It Up," which boasts ...
| | Ne-Yo In My Own Words CD (2006)
Because Of You
$11.09   
Personnel: Ne-Yo (vocals); Peedi Peedi (rap vocals); Tor Erik Hermanson, Mikkel Se (various instruments); Robert Taylor (guitar); Nissan Stewart (drums).
By the time of his Def Jam solo debut in 2006, Ne-Yo had already been a high-profile behind-the-scenes figure in contemporary R&B, penning hits for the likes of Faith Evans and Mary J. Blige. Like those artists, Ne-Yo's music is influenced by hip-hop beats and production values, but falls squarely under the rubric of modern soul, and the talent he displayed writing for others is abundant here.
The grooves on IN MY OWN WORDS are mostly down- to mid-tempo, with plenty of room to showcase Ne-Yo's way with a lyric and melody. The album's first single, "Stay," is a case in point, layering vocal lines for a choral effect while Ne-Yo's fine, flexible voice soars over the top. As one might expect, matters of the heart are the primary theme, but Ne-Yo proves ...

R. Kelly's appealing, staggeringly successful take on hip-hop-infused contemporary R&B has been founded in no small part on his ability to make explicitly sexual subject matter sound as smooth and seductive as an old-school overture from Al Green. DOUBLE UP (2007), ...

Because Of You
$9.79
Second album features guest appearances by his mentor Akon as well as Yung Joc.
Photographer: Christian Lantry.
Rapper-turned-singer T-Pain occupies a genre all his own: "Hard & B" is how he describes it. On his sophomore album, EPIPHANY, the Tallahassee native follows the same formula that made his debut such a success--namely, shockingly hardcore lyrics normally reserved for the rap arena, cloaked in sweat and sensitive melodies. With a penchant for computerized vocal effects (much like his contemporary and label-boss Akon), T-Pain ups the ante on radio-friendly raunch with sexy club anthems like "Backseat Action," "69," and "Yo Stomach." EPIPHANY features guest appearances from Yung Joc, Akon, Cham, and J Lyric, among others, further solidifying his credibility within the world of hardcore hip-hop.
From its title to ...
