Ne-Yo - Year Of The Gentleman
October 1st 2008 01:00
Popular US singer-songwriter-producer Ne-Yo's third studio album, Year Of The Gentleman, was released in Australia on September 20, 2008 and is named in honour of Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra.
Citing the two legends as the inspiration behind his music and clothes, you could be forgiven that he actually meant Michael Jackson judging from the album's first single "Closer" - the MJ-esque vocals and dance moves in the music video are clearly evident.
"Years ago, if you weren't wearing the right suit or have a correct crease in your pants, you couldn't even get in the door--let alone on stage to perform," said Ne-Yo.
"For me, the sharpness of Sammy and Sinatra is the kind of style I strive for in clothes and music. 'Year of the Gentleman' is named in honor of those guys." he added.
