Set to release his brand new 4th studio album, Libra Scale, November 22 on Def Jam Recordings, Ne-Yo will make his television debut of the album’s new single, “One in a Million.” Ne-Yo – whose first three studio albums debuted at No. 1 on the Soundscan chart, Year of the Gentleman (2008), Because of You (2007) and In My Own Words (2006) – will continue as a core artist on the roster of Def Jam Recordings. Libra Scale is the much-anticipated follow-up to Ne-Yo’s RIAA platinum Year of the Gentleman, which debuted at No. 1 in September 2008. That album spun off a trio of consecutive RIAA platinum hits: “Closer” (No. 1 U.S. Dance, No. 1 UK), “Miss Independent” (No. 1 U.S. R&B, No. 1 UK R&B) and “Mad” (No. 5 U.S. R&B, No. 3 UK R&B). Year of the Gentleman generated a league-leading total of five Grammy nominations in 2009 – with “Miss Independent” winning for Best R&B Song (songwriters award) and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. Year of the Gentleman followed up Because of You (May 2007), which won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album, and In My Own Words (February 2006) – both No. 1 debuts on the Billboard 200 and R&B Albums charts. Ne-Yo founded The Compound Foundation which is committed to service at-risk and disadvantaged youth. The Compound Foundation sponsors performances, motivational speakers and mentorship opportunities with leaders and business people within the community.
