♫ NE-YO: MISS INDEPENDENT [OFFICIAL SECOND SINGLE].....

Ne-yo will release his third studio album 'Year of The Gentleman' on August 5th and the official 2nd single from the set has now presented itself. The song is called 'Miss Independent'.


The song emphasises Ne-yo's appreciation for a woman who has her own motivation and goals. He likes a woman who "pays her bills on time". The opening of the song has a similar instrumental to Janet Jackson's 'Luv' but I'm also hearing some 'Sexy Love' in there as well (his original sound). Moving into a more R&B-driven direction with the song, Miss Independent is in fact a nice track, which makes a pleasant change considering that a lot of his leaked stuff has been underwhelming (though I'll admit that the euro/pop sounding 'Closer' has now grown on me prior to it hitting no 1 in the UK recently).
