Amazon.co.uk Review
Kelly Clarkson, kindly step aside: the title "Because of You" now belongs to Ne-Yo, who has done things with it no one with a pair of hands to clap will soon forget. And not just on the phenomenally appealing first single. Throughout IBecause of You,/I the sophomore disc by the songwriter responsible for such monster hits as Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable" and Rihanna's "Unfaithful," a flutter-voiced fluidity--the kind seldom heard since Michael Jackson's IOff the Wall/I days--reigns. Jay-Z makes room to let it rip on "Crazy," and Jennifer Hudson wraps herself around it with restraint on "Leaving Tonight," a lovers' quarrel that could hold its own against anything Marilyn McCoo Billy David Jr. cared to toss off in their heyday. If it's MJ who's lingered in Ne-Yo's ear longest, Prince hasn't gone silent, either: echoes poke up on the far-out "Sex with My Ex." Elsewhere, shades of contemporaries such as Nelly and Diddy show through. Overall, though, Ne-Yo's flammable hooks, flirty vibe, and flawless vocals reveal an RB genius in the making. If the talent bar for up-and-comers is set impossibly high in the coming years, chances are it will be all because of him. I--Tammy La Gorce/I

Better late than never sometimes. br / br /This one nearly slipped by me truth be told. br / br /It was a chance hearing of Rihanna's duet (Hate That I Love You) br /with this young man which made me sit up and take notice. br / br /'Because Of You' is a joyous little masterclass in what it br /remains possible to create within RB's parameters when a great br /young singer-songwriter joins hands with a world-class production team. br / br /Mr Smith and The Carter Administration have every reason to be proud. br / br /The thirteen songs delivered here add up to an almost flawless br /lexicon of genre-defining beauty. br / br /Hard to direct you towards highlights with such rich pickings on offer. br / br /Opener 'Because Of You' is a loose-limbed, cute-as-could-be winner. br /Killer melody. Killer hook. Killer vocal. Killer harmonies. Got that?! br / br /'Crazy', a limpid, sassy stroll through more strong melodic territory, br /neither helped nor hindered by Mr Jay-Z's presence. br /The out of kilter pizzicato synth is an absolute hoot ! br / br /'Can We Chill', another superb song which had me thinking about Little Stevie. br /Mr Smith's high, flexible tenor and juicy falsetto is a rare br /and wonderful instrument. br / br /'Do You', brought Mr Wonder to mind once more but trust me that's br /no bad thing ! br / br /'Addicted', a loping, harder-edged number whose punchy brass arrangement br /steers our hero into a somewhat darker landscape. br / br /'Leaving Tonight' brings Mr Smith and Ms Hudson together in a perfect br /example of what a great duet can be with ingredients as highly charged br /as these. Two wonderful voices. One terrific song. Ecstatic. br / br /The staggering latin rhythms of 'Ain't Thinking About You' form yet br /another extraordinary backdrop to further virtuoso vocal fireworks. br / br /'Sex With My Ex' drags us out onto the dancefloor. The slightly br /sleazey beats and subject matter shoot a nod and wink towards a br /formerly known artist. br / br /'Angel' yet another complexly dreamy vocal delight. br / br /'Make It Work', another classy slice of RB heaven. br / br /'Say It', a real show-stopper ! Probably the album's br /true winner for The Wolf. Mind-Blowing ! br /If Bach were reborn in Brooklyn he might be writing gems like this ! br / br /'Go On Girl', a pretty, heart-on-his-sleeve, mid-tempo beauty. br / br /'That's What It Does', truth be told, is a somewhat lacklustre br /makeweight but can be easily forgiven following, as it does, br /twelve of the very best songs ever collected together in one album. br / br /Yep. I really do think it's that good. br / br /Following recent disappointments with albums by Mr Usher and Ms Swaray br /I was relieved to find RB alive and well in the tender hands, heart br /and voice of this prodigiously talented young man. br / br /Highly Recommended.

Undoubtedly the stand out track is 'Because of You'. It's something I'm sure we can all relate to. Coupled with a number of other evocative and provocative tracks on the album, there is a similar theme to his first album. Recognised previously for his songwriting prowess for other artists, it's good to see he saved some great tracks for himself! br / br /If you're going to make 2 RB purchases in the next couple of weeks, buy this and Joe's new album 'Ain't nothing like me'.


5 out of 5 stars Ne Yo Review   August 11, 2009
Pauline Giezekamp
This was for my daughter's birthday and she was delighted with it. Unfortunately the first item sent was not Ne Yo "Because of You" but a Charles Bronson DVD. But to be fair, this was exchanged without any problem.

Well what can I say? I eagerly waited for this album for months and again this has not come out of my cd player for the last couple of months! My favourite tune on this one is Because of You as it has such a catchy beat which puts a smile on my face everytime i hear it! br /Here's hoping the next album is another hit - as for definiate I will be buying it regardless.
