Different from your average R\u0026amp;B crooner of the day, Ne-Yo backs away from overt sexuality, instead aiming for subtle romantic ballads that vary from playful innocence to brooding melancholy. Lead single \"Closer\" is unique as Ne-Yo works his silky smooth voice over a poppy house track. Overall, YEAR OF THE GENTLEMAN is consistent in this respectfully seductive approach to the fairer sex. In \"Nobody,\" an awed Ne-Yo sings the praises of his love interest--\"Can't nobody strut like her\/Can't nobody touch her\"--and the second single, \"Miss Independent\" is as close to a feminist anthem as the R\u0026amp;B genre has come in years. Production work comes from Polow da Don, Stargate, Chuck Harmony, Stereotypes, and Ne-Yo himself.","brand":"Ne-yo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44588674154729,"sku":"78TB8S-MNYT-00","price":12.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/ne-yo-year-of-the-gentlema_CJ8Zb.jpg?v=1759389716","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/ne-yo-year-of-the-gentlema","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
