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 that the market can handle another romantic neo-soul crooner, especially one this talented.

Personnel: Ne-Yo (vocals); Peedi Peedi (rap vocals); Erik Hermansen, Mikkel Se (various instruments); Robert Taylor (guitar); Nissan Stewart (drums).

Recording information: Westlake Audio, Hollywood, CA.

Rolling Stone (p.92) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[S]tate-of-the-art bump 'n' grind....[He] has an R. Kelly-ish delivery and a high, urgent tenor a little like Stevie Wonder's..."
Entertainment Weekly (p.100) - "Ne-Yo not only co-writes all of his material, but he wisely forgoes token samples in favor of juicy OFF THE WALL-era chord progressions." -- Grade: B-

1 star Here's my word and My World
Absolutely a disaster plot! My ears have already suffer from MCR and Used, but this is the worst voice of them all. I can't believe a lot of people like this CD. Stay and Let's Get This Right start off the album in the "Wrong Way". There is nothing good about the album or the songs, if I wanted to hear crap like this, I would have taken a crap on a CD and label it Ne-Yo. Sign Me Up, Sexy Love, and Mirror stink! it stinks, it stinks, it stinks, it stinks, it stinks, it stinks, it stinks, it stinks, it stinks, it stinks! When Your Mad and "So Sick" are the worst songs of 2005 this CD deserves worst CD and worst singer. Also #1 Crap in America!

5 stars excellent cd
This guy reminds me of a mixture of usher and r kelly. His song writing is superior and it relates to a lot of people. If he continues he can become the king of r&b.

He is about the only artist besides usher that I can listen to and actually feel a vibe from. Hot cd especially When Your Mad. This is how I feel about most women. A woman smacks me I feel in love.

Keyshia Cole Way It Is CD  (2005)

In My Own Words
CD $10.99  4.5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Far from the usual fizzy pop practiced by contemporaries like Beyonce and Kelis, the debut album from Oakland-born singer/songwriter Keyshia Cole is full of sophisticated, adult R&B that bridges the gap between the neo-soul likes of Alicia Keys and the inspired, kinetic hip-hop of Kanye West. Keys and West both guest here, on the singles "(I Just Want It) To Be Over" and "I Changed My Mind," respectively, but Cole is a compelling enough performer that she's not overshadowed. Similarly, guest spots by John Legend (on "I Changed My Mind") and Eve (on Cole's 2004 debut single, "Never," reprised here) never ...

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 ...

Chris Brown CD  (2005)

In My Own Words
CD $9.99  4.5 stars Top 100
Based on the runaway success of his first single, "Run It!" it was clear that 16-year-old Chris Brown was onto something. The song, which rides a pulsing hip-hop beat with Brown's smoothly styled R&B vocals coming in over the top, shot straight to the top of the charts, virtually guaranteeing an ecstatic reception for his full-length self-titled debut. Brown lights upon a clever formula here by combining edgy tracks with a sultry urban-contemporary delivery, and bringing to that mixture the fresh-faced innocence of ...

Mary J Blige Breakthrough CD  (2005)

In My Own Words
CD $12.99  4.5 stars Audio Samples
After her somewhat lukewarm 2003 release LOVE & LIFE, Mary J. Blige returns to her rightful place as the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul with 2005's THE BREAKTHROUGH. Blige enlisted a host of guest producers to contribute tracks to THE BREAKTHROUGH, and the result is one of her strongest and most varied albums. As usual, the sound is a mixture of smooth, urban contemporary and hip-hop edge, but Blige nails it with tracks like the pulsing "Enough Cryin'" (with its rich, multi-layered vocals) and the breezy "Can't Hide From Luv" featuring a guest spot by Jay-Z. The album's lead-off single, "Be Without You," a bittersweet slow jam, is representative of the ...
