Libra Scale is a high-concept departure for the R&B singer. With a storyline that’s expanded upon in long-form music videos and a new comic book, the release was preceded by three singles and an extensive marketing campaign. The 10 tracks feature nine producers, including heavy-hitters like Stargate, Ryan Leslie, Jackpot and D. Dorohn Gough.
“I don’t hunt out the super-producer . . . It’s always a matter of who’s going to give me what I want sound-wise,” said Ne-Yo.
“Ne-Yo is truly one of the greats, and it has been a privilege to work closely with him, from the early stages of his songwriting career through his extremely successful recording career. He is a unique artist, not only crafting his own series of brilliantly produced albums, but also providing big songs and hit duets for many of today’s biggest stars,” said Island Def Jam Music Group chairman Antonio “L.A.” Reid.
A deluxe version of Libra Scale will help deliver Ne-Yo’s cinematic vision for the album by including a DVD with three long-form music videos. In addition, the singer premiered Libra Scale, a comic book that maps out the album’s storyline, on Oct. 9 at New York Comic Con.
During release week, Ne-Yo will appear on “Lopez Tonight,” “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and the American Music Awards telecast. He also performed on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” in early October.
