Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review: Kelly Clarkson, kindly step aside: the title "Because of You" now belongs to Ne-Yo, who has done things with it no one with a pair of hands to clap will soon forget. And not just on the phenomenally appealing first single. Throughout Because of You, the sophomore disc by the songwriter responsible for such monster hits as Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable" and Rihanna's "Unfaithful," a flutter-voiced fluidity--the kind seldom heard since Michael Jackson's Off the Wall days--reigns. Jay-Z makes room to let it rip on "Crazy," and Jennifer Hudson wraps herself around it with restraint on "Leaving Tonight," a lovers' quarrel that could hold its own against anything Marilyn McCoo & Billy David Jr. cared to toss off in their heyday. If it's MJ who's lingered in Ne-Yo's ear longest, Prince hasn't gone silent, either: echoes poke up on the far-out "Sex with My Ex." Elsewhere, shades of contemporaries such as Nelly and Diddy show through. Overall, though, Ne-Yo's flammable hooks, flirty vibe, and flawless vocals reveal an R&B genius in the making. If the talent bar for up-and-comers is set impossibly high in the coming years, chances are it will be all because of him. --Tammy La Gorce
Description: Second album from US R'n'B sensation Ne-Yo. Featuring production work from Scandinavian hitmakers Stargate, as well as collaborations with Jay-Z and Jennifer Hudson, the album is an upbeat collection of slick urban gems. Includes the tracks 'Because Of You', 'Do You' and 'Can We Chill'.

Say it
As you can see most of the songs i like apart from that's what it does. I do really like this album but it is missing a certain something. I can't wait 4 his new album year of the gentleman,i think this album is going to be his best yet. I also felt the same with rihanna's albums, her first album was great but her second one wasn't as good, but her third one was her best. I still feel you need this album in your record collection.

Better late than never sometimes.
This one nearly slipped by be truth be told.
It was a chance hearing of Rihanna's duet (Hate That I Love You)
with this young man which made me sit up and take notice.
'Because Of You' is a joyous little masterclass in what it
remains possible to create within R&B's parameters when a great
young singer-songwriter joins hands with a world-class production team.
Mr Smith and The Carter Administration have every reason to be proud.
The thirteen songs delivered here add up to an almost flawless
lexicon of genre-defining beauty.
Hard to direct you towards highlights with such rich pickings on offer.

Ne-Yo's debut album "In My Own Words" was good but not outstanding, he takes it up another level with the 2nd album "Because Of You". It hasn't been the success it should be probably because of the flop single "Do You" but this is a hot album with all 13 tracks being very good!

Well what can I say? I eagerly waited for this album for months and again this has not come out of my cd player for the last couple of months! My favourite tune on this one is Because of You as it has such a catchy beat which puts a smile on my face everytime i hear it!
Here's hoping the next album is another hit - as for definiate I will be buying it regardless.

Being a big Ne-Yo fan, I bought this album and have heard it through several times now. Ive come to the same conclusion about Because Of You as I did his first album- a handful of great songs, and a handful of others that shouldn't be on the same CD. The best songs on this album for me are "Because Of You", "Can We Chill", "Do You", "Angel" and my personal favorite on this cd, "Go On Girl". The others I found a bit disappointing to be honest, and most importantly Ne-Yo has done some great work with other artists recently, such as "Hate That I Love You" with Rhianna and "Made It Better" with Fabulous- where are these on this album?! In writing "Irreplacable" for Beyonce, Ne-Yo has his own version of this song which again isn't on the album! The song ... Read More:
