This album, Ne-Yo's second, has an incredible amount of sentimental value to me. One of the singles, "Go On Girl," was the first single review that I wrote that I saw in print in the pages of Billboard. I remember the first time that I heard the song and picked it to review, it was the day after I told a girl how I had romantic feelings for her and she didn't feel the same way. It was a very fitting record, and a catharsis to write the review of it. There was a lot of filler on this album, but the lead single (and title track) was excellent and the dancing that Ne-Yo did in the video was reminiscent of a young Michael Jackson. In a music industry that seems to have changed faster than ever before in the past ten years, it still doesn't surprise me that Ne-Yo has lasted as long as he has. And I'll bet he'll be around for a long time from now as well.
