Link added.
He's straying dangerously close back to the "So Sick" sound, but the synths are hot enough to carry this.

I'm probably wrong, but I think Ne-Yo wants a lot of his songs to sound the same because he wants people to look back and say, "That was the Ne-Yo sound." Kind of like how so many songs out right now are reminiscent of Prince.

well..it's more like a Michael Jackson sound than his own sound..or a Stargate sound since everybody gets the same beats.

It's more of "the Stargate" sound than the "Ne-Yo" sound since everyone else is using it also.

Yeah, although he writes some of those songs as well. But Prince used his 'sound' more judiciously and didn't use the same production team as everyone else and their grandma, and his writing for other artists was relatively infrequent. I really can't think of Ne-Yo without Stargate or vice versa at this point.

I just realized..."Because of You," "Miss Independent." What Kelly title do you think he'll use next? "Irvine?" or how bout "Breakaway" haha.
and yeah this song's a grower. It's definitely one of his better singles.

This was NOT a reason to keep the album from coming out. "Nobody" should have been the second single. Hands down. Of course, Ne-Yo is gonna release a ballad next, so "Nobody" will (probably) be the 4th single is this album does good.

Keri, Gabby Union and Lauren London are in the video....and Trey Songz, apparently Ne-Yo shot the video for his second single “Miss Independent” off of his upcoming “Year Of The Gentlemen” disc this past monday in Santa Monica. I see director Chris Robinson picked the baddest bishes in Hollywood to play the leads in the video. Gabby, Lauren and Keri? That’s what’s up. Trey Songz makes a cameo in the video as well. Per Ne-Yo:
So the new single is “Miss Independent.” My ode to the hard working women of the world, the sexiness that is ambition n’ what not. I think that 2008/2009 and beyond, women should stand up n’ let the fellas know that they can ball out too, take pride in the fact that your car, crib, baby’s clothes, EVERYTHING is on you, and you got it!!! Now to those women who can’t say that yet, let this record be inspiration. Listen to this record and let it be a blueprint for the woman you will work towards becoming. I wanna look at you n’ be proud mama, want you to look at yourself n’ be proud. Fellas, let’s do our part too. If you spot a sista doin’ it, or workin’ hard towards doin’ it, just stop real quick n’ hit her wit a “I see you mama, do ya thang.” It’s the gentleman thing to do.

I'm not sure about the other parts, but the Lil Wayne verse is copy-and-pasted from "Fireman".
This is alright, but not as good as "Closer", and with this title he's just asking for it.

Yea, I realized the other day that remix is cut and paste, Jay-Z's part is from Hello Brooklyn, I think.
Its a pretty good job tho, it doesnt really sound cut and paste, if u dont know the other songs.

Moves 39-26 R&B this week. Only one spot behind "Closer" there already. Urban is treating this as their lead single.

Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WigZ1k4m9gI wonder when they're going to send this to iTunes. They actually could wait to September 16 when the album is released, but Def Jam doesn't really use that strategy anymore. Maybe they should make it available digitally next week.

September 16 is only three weeks away. If they wait till then, he'll actually have a shot at a Hot 100 #1. Hopefully they're smart enough to realize that.

He looks ridiculous as a businessman in a suite. Never thought I would say this: but he's too much of a thug for that. No wonder his woman is wearing the pants here.

Uh, you are gonna need a better choice of words to illustrate your point becaue Ne-Yo and thug NEVER should be in the same sentence, unless of course it's "Ne-Yo gets f**ked by a homo-thug"

LMAO, thank you, Ne-Yo is not a thug AT ALL. Unless "thug" is some rare species of fish that I've never heard of.
