Apr 5, 2015
Shaffer Chimere Smith known by his stage name Ne-Yo, is an American R&B singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor. Ne-Yo gained fame for his song-writing abilities when he penned the 2004 hit "Let Me Love You" for singer Mario. The single's successful release in the United States prompted an informal meeting between Ne-Yo and Def Jam's label head, and the signing of a recording contract.
In March 2013, Ne-Yo collaborated with Akon on David Guetta's single from his 2012 album Nothing But The Beat 2.0, "Play Hard." In April, Ne-Yo announced that he and Cher Lloyd were set to collaborate on their single "It's All Good," which eventually was featured on Fruttare commercials.
Celine Dion and Ne-Yo recorded "Incredible" for Dion's 2013 album Loved Me Back to Life. "Incredible" was released as a single in February 2014 and the music video premiered in June 2014. On May 29, 2014, Ne-Yo announced his upcoming sixth studio album would be called Non Fiction and was due for release on September 30. At the same time, Ne-Yo announced another new single, "Money Can't Buy."
On September 16, 2014, Ne-Yo released the lead single from "Non Fiction" to mainstream radio titled "She Knows" featuring Juicy J.
Ne-Yo's latest single is entitled, "Coming With You."
