WORD FROM THE MEDIA BLOCKS: NE-YO - YEAR OF THE GENTLEMAN

NE-YO
"yearofthegentleman"


THE EXCELLENT
Entertainment Weekly
On his third disc in as many years, the 28-year-old Southerner with the Michael Jackson falsetto not only wears his heart on his sleeve, he lets it bleed down his (no doubt high-thread-count) cuff.

Rolling Stone
The 28-year-old singer-songwriter says his latest collection of heartfelt love songs is a tribute to the Rat Pack's pressed-suit style, but it's actually a superb concept album about what a great boyfriend he can be.

THE GRAND
The Guardian
His way with a melody is unstoppable, made all the more effective by his understated, no-frills approach to performing.

THE GOOD
All Music Guide
'Why Does She Stay,' forms the front end of a two-track patch of glorious gloom--the album's center, both literally and figuratively--complemented by 'Fade into the Background,' where he watches the one who got away get married.


NOTHING BUT POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM AN ALBUM PEOPLE WHERE SKEPTICAL ABOUT AT FIRST. RIGHT ON!!
