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.

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.

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

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 album
CD $11.05  4.5 stars Top 500 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 ...

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 teen pop acts. (In the photo spread inside the CD's booklet, Brown is dressed in what looks like a Boy Scout uniform.) Like Usher, whom ...

Mary J Blige Breakthrough CD  (2005)

CD $10.49  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
The album's lead-off single, "Be Without You," a bittersweet slow jam, is representative of the album's themes, which focus on feelings of strength and weakness in love. But whether waxing romantic ("Can't Get Enough") or detailing the travails of the heart ("Baggage"), Blige lays down elastic R&B vocal lines that are second to none. Even a seemingly unlikely duet with Bono and U2 on "One" comes across beautifully, adding a new ...

Jamie Foxx Unpredictable CD  (2005) Parental Advisory, DualDisc

In My Own Words album
CD $16.69  4.3 stars Audio Samples
This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other. Jamie Foxx's second release as a solo artist is his first since his Oscar-winning portrayal of Ray Charles in the 2004 film RAY. It is natural, then, that UNPREDICTABLE would be a much higher-profile affair than 1994's PEEP THIS. The production credits include top-currency names like Timbaland and Sean Garrett. And guest stars? Forget about it. Common, Ludacris, Twista, Snoop Dogg, and Mary J. Blige, just to name a few, make appearances and help boost Foxx's credibility as one of the most popular kids on the block. Foxx's music falls firmly into the category of sultry, ...

Ne-Yo Because Of You CD  (2007)

In My Own Words CD music
CD $10.95  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
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 ...
