When you co-write the most-played song in radio history, what do you do for an encore? The young R&B singer-songwriter called Ne-Yo (after Keanu Reeves' character in the Matrix movies) is about to answer that question with the release of his debut album In My Own Words, Feb. 28 on Def Jam Recordings.

At the tender age of 23, the Arkansas native (real name: Shaffer C. Smith) has already made music history for co-writing the hit "Let Me Love You" for Mario with superstar producer Scott Storch. "Let Me Love You" became the #1 radio anthem of 2004, garnering 189.5 million listeners in one week, the most spins in chart history.

Now, Ne-Yo is bringing his silky smooth tenor to his own hits, starting with his debut single "So Sick," a song about a guy who's so lovesick he can't even listen to love songs anymore, because they all remind him of the girl he wants. Fortunately for the rest of us, in real life Ne-Yo still likes love songs just fine, along with all sorts of other kinds of rap, hip-hop and R&B.
