Ne-Yo - Miss Independent

Artist: Ne-Yo

Producer: Stargate

Album: Year of the Gentleman

Label: Motown Records

 More from this Artist

 Send Ringtones to Your Phone

In spite of the success of his most recent single Closer, Ne-Yo decided to push back his junior album, Year of the Gentleman, because he needed more time to perfect it.  That time was obviously put to good use, judging by the album’s second single, Miss Independent, an ode to all the ladies who handle all their business and don’t need anybody else.  Once again, production team Stargate provides an upbeat tone, making Miss Independent appealing to a brand new audience, and allowing for Ne-Yo to continue his string of successful hits.  More winning combinations should be expected once Year of the Gentleman is finally released September 16.

Note:  The streaming of “Miss Independent” has temporarily been suspended.

This song first appeared on the R&B / Pop Chart on August 11, 2008

Pretty hot song. Glad he slowed it up a bit. Not on par with his other new material in my opinion, but this is a solid track for the ladies and I'll even bump it.

Man, Stargate is a beast with the production. Ne-Yo's album is about to be off the chains. I can't wait for the album release. I'm copping that. This is a real smooth joint from Ne-Yo, I must say. A hit. Everything I've heard from him in the past couple months have just been solid gold baby. No lie. This is no exception! Lyrics were on point and the presentation of the vocals were flawless. This cat is not playing. I also still stand by what I said a couple months ago about how he will sell more and have way more success than Usher's latest album. This is on a whole nutha echelon.

I never truly felt Closer, but this track is straight up hot. It's fresh and something that I wanted from Ne-Yo. This track is unique compared to his old stuff, and absolutely keeping things new. Definitely one of the best rnb tracks I've heard in a while. I really hope this is indicative of what things are gonna be like on his album.

Solid production by Stargate and Ne-Yo on point as usual. Hint of Kanye's 'Flashing Lights'?

The fact that Ne-Yo is involved in everything from recording to overall production of his tracks just sets him apart. When some artists get together with a producer, sometimes the beat and overall theme doesn't fit them well. He brings the heat on almost everything. Personally i liked Trouble a little better than Closer. I don't know why it didn't seem to blow up really. Ne-Yo and CB are going to be in the forefront of RnB for a while.

Another solid single, Stargate collab once again. Their production is similar to others but it works and Ne-Yo's singing works. Radio ready track that should blow up in the summer.

This isn't the typical r&b production, it's more fresh! Ne-Yo is great as always. I like this better than Closer, I wasn't crazy for that song (it became surprisingly famous also in Italy...only because Ne-Yo himself is famous)! Anyway after a while it gets a lil boring, it's good but not excellent

Ne-Yo just missed with this track. The hook isn't special and overall the track is too boring. Okay beat though.
