After taking a little time off, Ne-Yo has returned to the game. He dropped the first single, “She Knows” featuring Juicy J, in the fall of 2014. But, the album came yesterday and Ne-Yo is currently dominating with Non Fiction, which is the album’s title.

Ne-Yo received flack during the release of his last album for catering more to the pop/EDM market. But, it was soul that brought Ne-Yo in the game in the first place. Plus, Ne-Yo was the one who penned Mario’s classic single, “Let Me Love You.”

Recently, Ne-Yo paid his visit to Power 105.1 for “The Breakfast Club.” He talked to DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God about how he has matured and being in love. Of course, they discussed Non Fiction and the criticism he faced when he tried out different music styles.
