Ne Yo--So Sick [/size][/b]
[b][color=black](MV) You may not have heard of the name Ne-Yo before, but you've more than likely heard some of his lyrics--specifically, on Mario's massive hit, "Let Me Love You." This talented musician wrote for a number of chart-toppers before the age of 22, penning songs for Mary J. Blige, B2K, and Faith Evans as well. After working for others, Ne-Yo--a.k.a. Shaffer Smith--decided to focus on his own career. Judging by the quality of songs on this debut, his creative well is not running dry anytime soon. The kick-off single, "So Sick" showcases the same tenderness evident in his Mario hit, as does much of this slow-jam heavy CD. Smith also shines on the Michael Jackson-esque "Sign Me Up," giving props to the icon in the chorus by singing "I just wanna rock with you" with beat-fueled bravado. Ne-Yo's songs come from a love of seventies and eighties soul; as a result, his music contains some unique samples, including an O'Jays lick (on the sexy "Get Down Like That," and a Switch snippet (on "It Just Ain’t Right"). Surprisingly, for such a hooked-up songwriter, he has limited the number of guest performers on the disc to just one--rapper Peedi Peedi performs on the disc opener, "Stay." The depth of the final track, "Time," clinches the hunch; In My Own Words is an impressive debut for a seasoned songwriter, likely to make memorable music for years to come.

Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]（原名[/size][size=9pt]Shaffer C. Smith[/size][size=9pt]）出生于美国[/size][size=9pt]Arkansas[/size][size=9pt]州一个音乐世家，自幼生活在一个单亲家庭，被母亲抚养长大。为了使[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]有更好的发展，母亲带着他移居拉斯维加斯。[/size][size=9pt]2004[/size][size=9pt]年，一直潜心创作的[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]一鸣惊人，他和马里奥（[/size][size=9pt]Mario[/size][size=9pt]）合作创作的单曲《[/size][size=9pt]Let Me Love You[/size][size=9pt]》不仅曾连续九周垄断[/size][size=9pt]Billboard Hot 100[/size][size=9pt]单曲榜，还以[/size][size=9pt]1[/size][size=9pt]亿[/size][size=9pt]8[/size][size=9pt]千[/size][size=9pt]9[/size][size=9pt]百[/size][size=9pt]50[/size][size=9pt]万次的收听次数创纪录的成为电台单周收听量最大的单曲。其中，由[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]创作的感人至深歌词更是给人留下了很深的印象。[/size]
[size=9pt]尽管[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]很早就开始为[/size][size=9pt]Mary J. Blige[/size][size=9pt]，[/size][size=9pt]B2K[/size][size=9pt]和[/size][size=9pt]Faith Evans[/size][size=9pt]等著名歌手创作歌曲，但他的首支个人单曲《[/size][size=9pt]So Sick[/size][size=9pt]》直到去年年底才发行。随着这首《[/size][size=9pt]So Sick[/size][size=9pt]》得到了越来越多歌迷的喜爱，[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]在[/size][size=9pt]Def Jam[/size][size=9pt]发行的首张个人专辑《[/size][size=9pt]In My Own Words[/size][size=9pt]》一经发行就在[/size][size=9pt]Billboard 200[/size][size=9pt]专辑榜中成功登顶，而主打单曲《[/size][size=9pt]So Sick[/size][size=9pt]》随后也已经夺得了[/size][size=9pt]Billboard Hot 100[/size][size=9pt]单曲榜的冠军，刚刚发行首张个人专辑的[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]便已经成为美国榜的双冠王。[/size][size=9pt]
2006[/size][size=9pt]年[/size][size=9pt]2[/size][size=9pt]月，有“[/size][size=9pt]R&B[/size][size=9pt]神童”之称的美国创作型男歌手[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]发行了首张个人专辑《[/size][size=9pt]In My Own Words[/size][size=9pt]》。本张专辑在美国发行后的第一周共售出[/size][size=9pt]30[/size][size=9pt]万[/size][size=9pt]1[/size][size=9pt]千张，以领先第二名[/size][size=9pt]17[/size][size=9pt]万张的较大优势夺得了本周的[/size][size=9pt]Billboard 200[/size][size=9pt]专辑榜的冠军。而在专辑之前发行的首支单曲《[/size][size=9pt]So Sick[/size][size=9pt]》也成功升至本周的[/size][size=9pt]Billboard Hot 100[/size][size=9pt]单曲榜榜首。[/size]
[size=9pt]在本张专辑之前，[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]的歌声还不为人所知，但作为一名出色的词曲创作人，[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]这个名字对于整个美国[/size][size=9pt]R&B[/size][size=9pt]音乐届来说并不陌生。从[/size][size=9pt]90[/size][size=9pt]年代末开始，原名叫[/size][size=9pt]Shaffer Smith[/size][size=9pt]的[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]就开始为多位一线歌手创作歌曲，这其中包括了玛丽·[/size][size=9pt]J[/size][size=9pt]·布里奇（[/size][size=9pt]Mary J. Blige[/size][size=9pt]），鲁本·斯图达德（[/size][size=9pt]Ruben Studdard[/size][size=9pt]），[/size][size=9pt]B2K[/size][size=9pt]，克里斯蒂娜·米兰（[/size][size=9pt]Christina Milian[/size][size=9pt]），吉米·福克斯（[/size][size=9pt]Jamie Foxx[/size][size=9pt]）和海瑟·海德丽（[/size][size=9pt]Heather Headley[/size][size=9pt]）等。而真正另[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]开始受到各方关注还是他[/size][size=9pt]2004[/size][size=9pt]年与马里奥（[/size][size=9pt]Mario[/size][size=9pt]）合作创作的畅销单曲《[/size][size=9pt]Let Me Love You[/size][size=9pt]》。[/size]
[size=9pt]在这张《[/size][size=9pt]In My Own Words[/size][size=9pt]》当中，[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]并没有像当今很多[/size][size=9pt]R&B[/size][size=9pt]歌手那样在专辑中融入过多的流行舞曲元素，而是更多的保持了一种七，八十年代老[/size][size=9pt]R&B[/size][size=9pt]歌曲的感觉，这可能跟他受王子（[/size][size=9pt]Prince[/size][size=9pt]），马文·盖耶（[/size][size=9pt]Marvin Gaye[/size][size=9pt]）和史蒂夫·旺德（[/size][size=9pt]Stevie Wonder[/size][size=9pt]）影响较深有关。《[/size][size=9pt]Let me get this Right[/size][size=9pt]》，《[/size][size=9pt]When you're Mad[/size][size=9pt]》和《[/size][size=9pt]So Sick[/size][size=9pt]》都是这张专辑中非常出色的单曲。就像当年的《[/size][size=9pt]Let Me Love You[/size][size=9pt]》一样，[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]本张专辑的歌词的煽情功力也非同一般。[/size]
[size=9pt]作为[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]的处女作，《[/size][size=9pt]In My Own Words[/size][size=9pt]》同时还被看作是[/size][size=9pt]2006[/size][size=9pt]年至今最出色的[/size][size=9pt]R&B[/size][size=9pt]专辑之一。如今，[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]已经被很多歌迷寄予了更高的希望，但对于年轻的[/size][size=9pt]Ne-Yo[/size][size=9pt]来说，一切才刚刚开始。
