NeYo chats to I Like Music
NE*YO: There's a track on the UK version called Girlfriend. This is one of the more interesting songs on the record, because it's another true story, but it's basically a song about my attempt to pick up a woman who was telling me that she in fact has a girlfriend. It was a fun song to record, because in telling everyone in the studio and my friends the story they knew it was gonna be a great song.
ILM: Your songwriting skills have been proven already. I mean, you wrote Mario's huge hit, 'Let Me Love You' and have also written songs for Mary J Blige and Faith Evans, among others. An awesome track record! Can you tell me how the Mary J songwriting came about?
NE*YO: I have a song on Mary J Blige's current album, and it's a song called Can't Hide From Love. The way it happened was, I met Steve Stout at a party that Jay-Z took me to, and he introduced me to Steve who was like, 'Mary's about to put together a new project and she loves your stuff and wants you to be a part of it.' And I've been looking up to Mary J Blige forever! So, of course, I was all for it. I didn't get a chance to go in the studio with Mary J Blige, down to how busy she was with everything she was doing.

Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world. You might argue that you can translate emotions through films and through books but anyone can make music, whether that be humming or singing along to the radio, it’s something that gives enjoyment and positivity to many people.
