Singer-songwriter Ne-Yo has revealed that he is hoping to take Motown Records back to its world-beating best following his take over as Vice President of the company.
The label used to be home to some of the biggest names in R&B and pop, but is now a shadow of its former self – something which Ne-Yo is determined to change.
Speaking to Complex Magazine, Ne-Yo said: “Back in the day, Motown was on the pulse of young America. It was pop, it was R&B, all of that. They looked at my career and the artist that I've become. I feel like I am one of the few people who draw the line.
“I could do a record with Jeezy and turn around and do a record with OutKast. Not a lot of cats can do that. As far as the new roster, we got a lot of acts that we are really excited to know and get hands-on and make sure that your interests come out right.”
Ne-Yo will also be joining Motown as an artist as well as becoming Vice President – meaning some more new music could be coming our way soon. His latest track 'Let Go', which he recorded with Calvin Harris, is currently sitting at #2 in the charts. You can check it out below.
