Hear it Now

When Ne-Yo sings, "I'm a man with a very healthy appetite for chicks" on the O'Jays-sampling ballad "Get Down Like That," you'd better believe it. Over thirteen tracks of state-of-the-art bump 'n' grind, the likable twenty-three-year-old -- who has an R. Kelly-ish delivery and a high, urgent tenor a little like Stevie Wonder's -- waxes poetic on love, heartbreak and how he wants to "sex you all over the place." Like Kelly, Ne-Yo (who is also a big-time songwriter, scoring a monster hit last year with Mario's "Let Me Love You") has a knack for sounding totally sincere while singing lines like "Baby, this time, why don't we try it in front of a mirror." But he's not just a player. The sleek hit "So Sick" is about being so devastated by a breakup that he never wants to hear another love song, and "Get Down Like That" is an ode to fidelity. And that's Ne-Yo in a nutshell: a freak in the sheets but a gentleman on the streets.
