In an interview with Rap-Up TV Ne-Yo talks about his forthcoming album ‘R.E.D’ due for release on November 6^th. According to the singer-songwriter, R.E.D is an acronym that stands for Realise Every Dream, “I call the album that because pretty much from age 9 and now every dream and every goal that I’ve set for myself in regards to music has been realised through music. So basically this album is a celebration of my first love which is music”.  

Following The Game’s 2011 album also titled R.E.D; Ne-Yo explains that the R.E.D movement is about bringing back good music to radio and TV. He further highlights that his album is a declaration of blurring of the lines, “I’m 100% an R&B artist, that’s my core, that’s my foundation but I’ve developed a fan base in this world of Pop-Music, in this world of Dance-Music and I got to go on records by saying that it wouldn’t been possible for me to have my dance and pop fans it weren’t for my background of R&B”.

Ne-Yo admits that R.E.D is his first album that will entail a healthy balance of both Pop and R&B and believes that should satisfy all of his fans. Ne-Yo makes mention of some of the artists and  producers who he worked with in his project and he’s delighted to have amongst them Diddy,  Stargate, No I.D, Sia, Da Internz, The Underdogs, Fabolous and Salaam Remi.
