Ne-Yo enlists fellow R&B crooners Trey Songz and T-Pain, to join him spend a night by hitting a gentleman's club to bring their collaboration to life in the stripper-filled erotic clip for their joint track "The Way You Move," a song sure to be blasting out of a radio near you pretty soon. Awash in blue, red and purple lights, the three R&B power houses continue to drop impassioned one-liners, while enjoying the sultry show of lap and pole dancing.
The sensual and auto-tuned ballad song is recorded for DJ Boy Wonda's latest mixtape "Tough Love." It's to tide fans over while the three of them are preparing for their own albums. Ne-Yo is working on the follow-up to 2010's "Libra Scale," Songz is working on a new effort called "Chapter 5," while T-Pain is going to release "RevolveR" on December 6.
In this smoothed out track, the cleanly dressed dress trio hit the club to watch their favorite ladies move together and sing about their adoration and infatuation with the sexy dancers who they've falling for, simple because of the way she moves. The video does not stray far from that theme. "The Way You Move" gives each crooner their shine and they deliver very nicely. The video is definitely for the grown and sexy, with plenty of eye candy for the fellas.
In the provocative Clifton Bell-helmed visual, the guys hit the strip club where they meet one dancer who's considering giving all of it up. While a typically dapper Ne-Yo serenades an exotic dancer that has caught his eye. As he pleads with her to not quit her night gig, and encourage her to keep "doing what's in her soul." Songz is also looking dandy in a black tuxedo as he watches his favorite lady work the pole, while woefully croons of his beloved stripper. To complete the trifecta, T-Pain who has plenty of experience of being in love with strippers, makes his attempt to keep his favorite exotic dancer with the golden moves working.

Self-proclaimed auto-tune king T-Pain returns with a mid-tempo groove and wanders the streets alone in the music video for "5 O'clock," the first official single off his upcoming fourth studio installment, the heavily-delayed "rEVOLVEr," which has no release date but is expected to come out later this year. Like Adele's new video for "Someone Like You," the "5 O'Clock" video shows the 26-year-old artist meandering through the streets of a beautiful Amsterdam, including the famed Red Light District.
It's a pensive contemporary R&B ballad, with rumbling beats, pealing organs, and featuring Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa and a vocal sample from British singer Lily Allen's 2009 track "Who'd Have Known," T-Pain's laidback auto-tuned mid-tempo tune, is built around the dreamy, adult lullaby, finds the autotuned rapper king telling the story of a party animal promising his neglected girl he'll return home soon. T-Pain is apparently over the loony nuttiness that defined him five years ago, and is all on his "this song is serious!" tip with a heavy dose of Auto-Tune, and of those stripper windows in Amsterdam.
"The song is basically about me being where I am at a club. I'm just taking too long and Lily wants me to come home right now," T-Pain explained. "And it happens a lot with me in real life, so why not make a song about it? She doesn't care where I am or what I'm doing, she just wants me to come home. But she needs me, she needs her hubby." Directed by Erik White, the video's story is a literal interpretation of the track, T-Pain getting a text strolling on home as his girlfriend awaits.
It's a long, languid clip that matches Allen's musical bed, and features an emotional T-Pain strolling the late night streets solo, looking like he's about to cry, and struggling to get in contact with his music video girlfriend Allen, who isn't in the video and is represented by a close-up of a woman's mouth singing her oft-repeated part, and she looks distraught and worried about her R&B boo, texting T-Pain and glumly singing her sampled vocals as she waits on her love. Khalifa makes a guest appearance, with a confident, sexual verse that shows no qualms about showing up at your girlfriend's place at 5 AM.

Auto-tune king T-Pain has finally premiered the music video for Nappy Boy's R&B/pop song, "Best Love Song," off his long-delayed fourth album "RevolveR," hopefully out due soon! "This is gonna be considered the first single," he says of "Best Love Song." "I keep saying that about every song I'm dropping, but I feel like this has the power." The song features Chris Brown, who contributes some un-processed vocals. Lyrically the song finds T-Pain asking the club DJ to help him write the "Best Love Song" to win the heart of his romantic target for the night.
T-Pain's favorite love song is Gnarls Barkley's "Blind Mary." But when it comes to making love he prefers the "you know, normal stuff," T-Pain, the party-loving nappyhead who crept into peoples' hearts asking if he could 'buy you a drank' through his AutoTune crooning. So often, a love song can win a girl's heart. But what if she's got two rival crooners after her? And more importantly, what happens if it's in AutoTune? Difficult question, and one that songwriters extraordinaire T-Pain and Brown seek to answer in the new video for their new song, very appropriately titled, "Best Love Song."
"If you look at things now," he said. "I think that love making has gone to another level since those days. It's a whole lot of love making these days." As he prepares his oft-delayed album, T-Pain is looking to creep into more hearts with the Edgar Wright-directed video for "Best Love Song" with Brown. This isn't the first time both have put an affaire de coeur to music. But despite the competitive nature between the two R&B artists in the "Best Love Song" video, T-Pain admits that when it comes to love songs, Brown is the best man for the job.
The video sets up a battle of the bands-like competition, with the best song winning the contest and, ostensibly, the girl's heart. The battle and video concept are based on the bass battle in the movie "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World." The duo face off in a battle of the one-man bands on stage, attempting to impress the girl of their dreams by lending their musical talents to the drums, guitar and keyboard. However, T-Pain nor Brown end up with the girl in the end, as she walks away, clutching the hand of a dirty, bearded rock dude. We assume his rap song didn't work.

Mr. Auto-Tune T-Pain has debuted a very expensive music video filmed to support his very goofy/awful new single "Reverse Cowgirl". The Jeremy Rall-directed video features the zombie auto-tune MC rapping to the camera with slow-motion cherries fall out of glasses, and captures of beautiful women dance around him in a "classy" manner. This is actually pretty arty for a T-Pain video, and is going to be one of those songs that you'll only hear at shitty clubs at one in the morning, where it might sound like the best, but you're embarrassed you know the words.
Teddy Pain attempts to Auto-Tune another hit with "Reverse Cowgirl" is the lead offering from his upcoming fourth studio effort, "RevolveR," which will drop later this year. Young Jeezy who provides additional verses to the song doesn't make any cameo appearance in the accompanying music video. The video has a different look compared to the heavy 3-D graphics that were featured in his last album "Thr33 Rings" but, like every artist today, T-Pain is re-inventing himself. Beside prepping to release his own record, T-Pain also has a joint album with Lil Wayne. Recently, he told MTV that the T-Wayne album will be released after Weezy gets out of jail. "He has so much going on. He has 'Rebirth' out right now. I don't wanna interrupt that," he said.
Florida-born T-Pain, is a Grammy winning American hip hop artist and producer known for his use of auto-tune. At the age of ten he turned his bedroom into a small studio with a keyboard, beat machine and four-track recorder, and he began his career as a rapper in the group Nappy Headz. The "T" in T-Pain stands for Tallahassee, and the 'Pain' means the pain trying to get out of Tallahassee. T-Pain has had over 10 top ten singles on Billboard Hot 100, and in 2008 he won a Grammy with rapper Kanye West for the single "Good Life." In June 2009, T-Pain collaborated with country-pop singer Taylor Swift for the CMT Music Awards, and performed "Thug Story," a parody of Swift's hit single "Love Story."
