Ne-Yo released his new upbeat single, "Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself)," earlier on this month. Now, in a rather sudden and surprising move, the 32-year-old R&B crooner put on his dancing shoes, has now followed it up with a visual to go along with the record. Self-love is pretty easy to do when Ne-Yo lends a helping hand. And he brought it all along with some fancy footwork in his steamy clip.Ne-Yo's "Lazy Love" didn't make quite the impact that he was hoping to achieve on the charts so he has classed it as just a promotional release and opted to issue another new song, "Let Me Love You," as his lead single from his forthcoming new album, "R.E.D.," which is an acronym for "Realizing Every Dream," and will drops in stores September 18th. However, instead of being a complete ode to the dance floor, the track incorporates slight R&B undertones, thanks to Ne-Yo's vocal performance.
As with most of today's R&B, Ne-Yo takes "Let Me Love You" in the Euro-dance direction musically. As for the Christopher Sims-directed visual, Ne-Yo puts down his best Michael Jackson moves and picks up some serious choreography. Ne-Yo dances with his group of dancers as scenes of him and his lady friend frolicking around the bedroom. Unlike most dance-themed clips that focus on the club scenes, he was actually doing his own moves. Hopefully, "Let Me Love You" performs better on the charts than "Lazy Love."
Ne-Yo is well-versed in the book of love. He's read it front to back, memorized certain sections and scribbled in the margins. Unfortunately, his lady is relatively unschooled, and in his new clip, the R&B star tutors her the best way he knows how. His methods involve donning a fedora and blazer and dancing it up Michael Jackson-style, as he grooves to the track. It seems to work, as Ne-Yo does plenty of smooching with his hottie costar. He also busts plenty of killer moves, which is to be expected, given the track's radio-friendly four-to-the-floor club beat. Consider this a contender for song of the summer.
