The post Ne-Yo to Mark “In My Own Words” 15th Anniversary with a Deluxe Edition appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The release will arrive in a digital form on February 26th. It will contain the original album as well as six bonus songs. This includes an acoustic version of the hit single “Sexy Love” and a remix of “Stay,” which was previously only available on the Japanese version of the record.
Ne-Yo started working on In My Own Words in 2004 after penning Mario’s big hit “Let Me Love You.” He worked on the project with several notable collaborators, including the Norwegian duo Stargate and Grammy Award-winning producer and multi-instrumentalist Ron “Neff-U” Feemster.
The album was released on February 28th, 2006, and immediately reached the no. 1 spot on the U.S. Billboard Charts. It finished the year at no. 27 while being certified platinum in the United States, the UK, Japan, and Brazil.
Besides the deluxe version of In My Own Words, Ne-Yo will also release a documentary. The feature will chronicle his life since the album made him famous and will cover several topics, including his creative process, his marriage, and how he dealt with public exposure.
Ne-Yo’s most recent projects include an appearance on The Masked Singer UK and being series regular on YouTube Red’s Step Up: High Water. He released his latest album, titled Good Man, in 2018.

]]>Now, the Grammy Award-winning artist is about to release his seventh studio album, and we have to say, the feeling is changing. Especially after hearing his new single “Good Man.”
“Good Man” follows the recipe that made Ne-Yo’s early songs so good. It is a simple love song, in which this R&B mastermind opens about his feelings in a genuine way. He wants to be a better man for his girl and put her above everything singing:
“I wanna be chillin with Obama talkin’ business and see you callin’ and tell him, ‘Hold up I gotta take this'”.
How can you not relate to that?
Also, the hook of the song immediately gets you. It will make you hum “I just wanna be a good man, good man to you, girl” all day. Combine that with a sample of D’Angelo‘s “How Does It Feel” and you got yourself a real R&B gem.
Of course, everything isn’t perfect, since Ne-Yo’s occasional unorthodox and almost mumble-like singing spoils the overall impression of the song. We hope that was just an experiment he tried.
If his upcoming album is just as good as “Good Man,” then we can safely say that Ne-Yo will hit a home run. The song is catchy, bursts with emotion and serves as a perfect guideline for every man on how to treat a lady.
