(Jan 29, 2012) *Ne-Yo
is a dreamer and has big plans a Motown Records’
new senior VP of A&R.
Being the diverse artist he is, he wants to bring all kinds of
music to the
label, that’s traditionally has promoted predominantly Black
artists.
I want to get back to a place where everybody’s listening to the
same thing no matter what race, color, creed you are,” the
singer said in an interview Wednesday after Universal Music made
the announcement.
“(Now) there’s music that’s specifically for black people and
there’s music that’s specifically for white people, and I feel
like the essence of … music is lost when you do that.”
But his goals don’t stop there. He’s looking forward to hiring
hard working artists who are looking to make more than one hit
record. Under his command, Ne-Yo plans to introduce a new realm
of music to the industry and nurture some good talent at Motown.
And speaking of hard work, he’s now gearing up to release his
fifth album this summer and will move over to Motown, rightfully
so. |
