DO YOU - NE-YO
The follow-up to Ne-Yo’s top 10 Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs single “Because of You” is being branded as part two of 2006 No. 1 single “So Sick.” The Stargate production in “Do You” creates a powerful tag team duet, where Ne-Yo asks a past love interest if she’s still in the game. In the first verse, Ne-Yo confesses sorrow for making her cry, hoping she’ll offer another chance. The plot thickens when we discover that Ne-Yo’s love interest is not only currently involved but expecting a daughter. What seems to be a common topic on trash TV results in a clever story line showing Ne-Yo’s songwriting skills. Stargate adds an ideal combo of hip-hop drum rifts and piano play to certify another hit in Ne-Yo’s growing hit catalog. Reuters/Billboard
