Ne-Yo is gearing up to release his forthcoming album Non-Fiction. He recently revealed the album's release date.
According to Vibe, Ne-Yo took to Instagram to make the announcement. Non-Fiction will be released November 11. It was previously reported that the album would be released sometime this summer.
"Life is about balance....finding and maintaining it.... #photoshoot #NONFICTION 11.11.14...."
Earlier this month, the "So Sick" singer released a visual for the album's first single "Money Can't Buy" featuring Jeezy.
Wondering what to expect from this album? As previously reported, Ne-Yo says he's ditching the dance music and returning to his R&B roots.
"It'll be out probably towards the summertime, predominately R&B this time. I had a little stint with the dance music and all of that, which I had a good time with - and I love the audience, I love them for accepting me doing it - but I had to go home on this one," he explained to Billboard. "Had to take it back to my roots, and not to say that there won't be one, maybe two songs on there that the dance crowd can get into, but the majority, the girth of the album, will be R&B."
The "Let Me Love You" singer told the magazine his heart has always been in rhythm and blues.
"I've actually been wanting to go back to my R&B roots for two albums now but [I didn't], just from the standpoint of being a pioneer, leading people into whatever the next thing was gonna be," he admitted. "There wasn't a lot of R&B cats doing songs at 120 beats per minute before 'Closer,' which I take full credit and responsibility for. That's all good, but it was an experiment. You experiment with something, if it goes good, cool, but you never forget where you come from and R&B is where I come from."
