11/8/2022 0 Comments Neyo do you karaoke![]() Singersroom: Besides being a mom we know you have a passion for fashion. And just running behind my two year old-Madeline Grace. Monyetta Shaw : Healthy diet, of course working out. Singersroom: Your fiancé is also looking gorgeous post baby bump. There are an equal number of middle of the road records so that my entire fan base can all come to the same concert and enjoy their selves all the way through as opposed to you know ‘there is one song that I like or there is two songs that I like.’ There is a little bit of everything for everybody. Neyo: This is the first time, I have taken an entire project and made a conscious effort to make sure my entire fanbase is satisfied, which means that there is an equal number of R&B records, and an equal number of pop records. How can you be sure that the fans will appreciate this album more? Singersroom: The last album was more experimental. I called it that because from age nine when I made the decision that music would be my life, to now-I’m 32-every dream, every goal has been accomplished in all the music. ![]() RED is an acronym that stands for realizing every dream. There will be some surprises on the album-some good ones. Neyo: Yes, but I need people to be surprised. Are there any surprise guest and or features? Singersroom: Tell us about the new album. Just let it be, what people come to me for in the first place-which is the music. With that being said that album wasn’t as good as it should have been and I am using this album to get back to the basics. The thing about experiments is that sometimes things positive happen and sometimes things negative happen. Neyo: The last album was based around a concept and me trying to do so many things I had never done before. However your last album Libra Scale didn’t do as well as past albums. Singersroom: You of course have a new album on the way. It’s been proven that we can go further than that and as long as you have some passion about what you’re doing and don’t stop, you will get there. I’m going to make sure that my kids understand that the sky is not the limit. Neyo: I have two now-a little girl and a little boy. ![]() Singersroom: Has your passion for helping children grown since having your own children? I don’t believe that it’s fair, so the Compound Foundation tries to do something about it. In that it is not their fault, why should we let that be the thing that holds them back from being the greatest whatever. A lot of instances it’s not these kids fault of why they end up in a foster home or a group home. I’ve never believed that circumstance should have anything to do with how far you go in life. We got to make it so the rest of the world can be all right. Neyo: To coin the phrase as corny as it may seem, the children are our future. Why is serving the needs of foster children so important to you? Singersroom: You could have any type of foundation. I’ve been fighting with that one for a minute. Their will come a time in my career where I will have to make a decision in choosing the music I believe in, and the music that I know is going to sell. Being an executive is about numbers and all this stuff-the bottom line. Being an artist is more about vibe and energy. Singersroom: Do you prefer being an artist or an executive? I need somebody who does this from the standpoint of love. ![]() ![]() If you’re the guy that’s trying to get on because you want some money and because you want this car or you want this group of girls to know who you are, then I’m not looking for you. Neyo: I look for in an artist what got me to where I am-that’s honesty to artistry and passion for what you do. Singersroom: What do you look for in an artist? There’s the whole coming out thing- but I listen for the artistry and the music. Singersroom: As the newly appointed Senior Vice President of A&R at Motown Records you have to keep an ear to the ground for new artist. Singersroom caught up with the newly engaged Grammy winner and his fiance at his charity’s 1ST ANNUAL COMPOUND FOUNDATION “FOSTERING A LEGACY” BENEFITto talk about letting the fans down on his last album, why The RED Album won’t disappoint, listening to Frank Ocean, plus love marriage and babies. With a love for helping children, a passion for music and a heart for art, Neyo is quickly becoming the new Renaissance man. ![]()
