Ne-Yo..."Know Me"

His Def Jam debut, "In My Own Words," have topped The Billboard 200 and sold 1.4 million copies in the United States, 2006 was a very good year for Ne-Yo. Now, the singer/songwriter is jumping right back with a new album, "Know Me," due April 24. "The first single from the new album, "Because of You," recently began making rounds on radio. Ne-Yo hopes the second single will be a track titled "Call Me Crazy," which he describes as an "infatuation song, from when I was slightly infatuated with this one young lady." "I'm not 100% finished with the album, but it's definitely shaping up to what I wanted it to be,"
The 24-year-old Las Vegas native has also been busy penning tracks for other artists. He says he's chatted with will.i.am about contributing to Michael Jackson's new album ("But again, we keep missing each other," he notes), and is also tipped to write for new projects from Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Celine Dion, Usher, Chris Brown and Jennifer Hudson, who is the only featured guest on "Know Me."
