New Music: Ne-Yo - 'Lazy Love'

R&B crooner Ne-Yo is taking his chances with the official first single off his forthcoming Motown debut "R.E.D", in stores on September 18th, 2012 - The track called "Lazy Love" is a pure R&B ballad in which the American star takes a cool approach lyrics-wise of how the 'act of love' should come forward (for better pleasure). "I gotta go, that's when you've got them legs around me", sings Ne-Yo in 'Lazy Love'. For the R&B singer, having an intimate moment with your girl is best when you just gotta leave for work, or hit the shower before getting ready to go out. OK! I think 'Lazy Love' is a nice slow jam, and I truly commend Ne-Yo for not releasing a dance song (would've been the easiest route) and sticking to his R&B stuff. The vocals on the new single are hot, and I like the lyrics. Pefect for a steamy moment at the bathtub with your girlfriend. However, I just can't see this becoming a hit on the Hot 100. Ne-Yo's last biggest hit was 'Closer' in 2008, reaching at #7 in the US. And his last R&B-ish hit was 'Mad' (also from 'Year of the Gentleman'), however that song was more of a pop/r&b mid-tempo (with sublte synth elements), so it's not proper R&B. That's what I say Ne-Yo is taking his chances with 'Lazy Love', although the song is enjoyable, it just don't have that very important 'crossover radio appeal' a true hit should have, eg; 'So Sick'.
