Ne-Yo Says Lindsay Lohan Track Will 'Surprise'
May 27, 2008, 10:25 AM ET
Gary Graff, Detroit
Ne-Yo the artist is busy these days, touring with Alicia Keys and preparing
for the Aug. 15 release of his third Def Jam album, "Year of the Gentleman."
But Ne-Yo the songwriter is equally, with rash of high-profile tracks either
just out or coming.
One surprising entry on his docket is an uptempo track called "Bossy" the he
worked on with Stargate for Lindsay Lohan's next album. "I gotta admit, we
were like ... Lindsay Lohan?'" Ne-Yo says with a laugh. "I mean, I've written
for Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Celine Dion and ... Lindsay Lohan? But I
will say this; we gave her a quality record and she did a ridiculously
fabulous job. I was so shocked I had to call her and apologize for what I was
thinking because she did so good. I think the world is gonna be surprised."
Just out is the Ne-Yo-penned "Spotlight," the first single from ex-"American
Idol" contestant and "Dreamgirls" Academy Award-winner Jennifer Hudson's
self-titled debut, due in September. Ne-Yo says "they're still putting the
(album) together right now" but that he's "really, really proud" that his
song was chose to be its calling card.
"They were really trying to figure out where to take her," he explains. "The
main issue with Jennifer Hudson is her voice is so huge, so how do you take
that and radio-ize it, make it radio-friendly. She can't do ('And I Am Telling
You I'm Not Going') every song 'cause you'll eventually be tired of it. So
('Spotlight') is kind of a classy midtempo, and I hope and pray it does well
'cause Jennifer is an amazing talent."
Ne-Yo also wrote for Leona Lewis' "Spirit" album and says he's "not surprised
at all" by her success. "Her voice is incredible. She's beautiful. She kinda
has all the ingredients to be a major star." He co-wrote the track "His
Mistakes" for Usher's new album, "Here I Stand," and is happy that "I actually
got to sit down wtih Usher and talk to him and see where his head is at now so
I could write the right record."
As for the forthcoming Michael Jackson project he's been linked to, Ne-Yo says
"there's nothing new. I'm submitting songs and I... still don't know anything
about a release date or any of that."
Ne-Yo will be on the road with Keys through June 18 in New York.

不要再相互靠近,毁灭不会终止的。在你的未来,我想告诉你:
打破任何我让你产生的想像,努力去爱一个人,但不要过分爱一个人,
适度地爱,也不能完全不爱,那种爱足够让你知道在现实里怎样做对他才是好的,
那种爱足够让你有动力竭尽所能善待对方。即使你因而不爱我了,但没有关系,
我希望你现在和未来活得好,那就是努力去爱别人,虽然我可能无法完全免於悲伤。
