Ne-Yo Joins Motown/Named SVP Of A&R

Ne-Yo has left Def Jam and took his talents over to Motown Records. He’s was also appointed as Senior VP of A&R. He will be releasing his fifth studio LP this summer under his new home. 

  I’m honored that I’ve been given such a prestigious title and trusted with such responsibility; terrified because I know that playing this role in the fashion of one of my career role models, Mr. Smokey Robinson — these are big shoes to fill. But trust, I can handle it.”
