Ne-Yo releases new album "Non-fiction"

Non-Fiction finds NE-YO collaborating with some of the most talented names in music today. Featured artists include Candice, Juicy J, David Guetta, Jeezy, Charisse Mills, Schoolboy Q and T.I. Time of Our Lives,” NE-YO’s new collaboration with Pitbull, appears on both Non-Fiction and Pitbull’s new album.

You can pre-order Non-Fiction now. Fans who pre-order Non-Fiction on iTunes, Google Play or Amazon will instantly receive “She Knows” feat. Juicy J and “Money Can’t Buy” feat. Jeezy. Non-Fiction will be available in standard and deluxe configurations.

As its title suggests, every song on Non-Fiction is derived from a true story. Some are NE-YO’s own personal tales while others were submitted by fans on social-media platforms like Twitter and Instagram.

I didn’t just want to tell my story. I like letting people try to guess which is which!” explains NE-YO. “I’m a storyteller: with this album, I wanted to put a magnifying glass on that. I wanted Non-Fiction to feel cinematic: each track gives listeners something entertaining, yet if they take their time with it, they’ll discover different dimensions and subplots.”

NE-YO was joined in the studio by production mainstays from throughout his career such as Shae Taylor and Stargate plus new associates Key Wayne and Glass John and members of his own Compound Music production team, including Corporal. DJ Camper (JAY Z, Kanye West, John Legend) also worked on many tracks.

The new songs are the kind of ultra-relevant narratives blended with powerful hooks that NE-YO became renowned for – both on his own hits like “So Sick,” “Closer” and “Miss Independent” and tracks he’s helped craft for Rihanna, Beyoncé, Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, Whitney Houston, Pitbull, Ciara and many others. Non-Fiction follows his late 2012 release, R.E.D. (Realizing Every Dream), which received stellar reviews:

  • USA Today : "There isn't a more natural singer/songwriter in contemporary R&B than NE-YO"
  • The Washington Post : “Extremely gifted and versatile songwriter."

NE-YO's first three studio albums debuted at No. 1 on the SoundScan chart and were all certified RIAA Platinum. He is a three-time GRAMMY winner and a two-time winner at the BET, MOBO and Soul Train Music awards.,
