She will make you love it, even if it hurts, Ne-Yo sings menacingly on Cause I Said So, Rosetta Stone V3 a track from his forthcoming fourth album, Libra Scale (due September 21st). Only, the RB singer-songwriter isnt singing about a typically forceful romantic encounter, but an evil, possessed villainess named Diamond Eye: Libra Scale is a concept album that chronicles the journey of RBs very first superhero team, the Gentleman, and their rise to fame, power, and money all at the expense of love.I am a bit of a comic book/Japanimation/sci-fi geek, Ne-Yo says, not sheepishly, after previewing the album for Rosetta Stone at Def Jams Manhattan office. Ive been in love with this stuff for years, since before I was double digits.So the 30-year-old singer, born Schaeffer Smith, took his passion for latex-suited superbeings and applied it loosely to Libra Scale. The whole idea to do this for my fourth came from not doing an album in 09 because I was doing two movies, learning how to write for the screen, he says. And then, the inspiration was furthered by Michael Jacksons passing, looking at Thriller, Moonwalker, Bad. Those were more than just videos those were movies Cheap Rosetta Stone Software.Initially, Ne-Yo had dreams of making a companion 45-minute mini-movie to be packaged with the album, but time and cost became insurmountable obstacles, so hell settle for a series of extended music videos. A graphic novel may be in the works, too.

Other producers include Chuck Harmony, from Ne-Yos in-house team, Compound Entertainment, who handles the groove-centric One in a Million.
