Ne-Yo is a Contemporary R&B and Hip hop act. Their catalogue also touches House and Pop. Their sound grew out of Jamie Foxx, You're Beautiful, Chrisette Michele, Upgrade U and Karl Wolf.

They run in the same orbit as Usher, Omarion, Sean Kingston, The-Dream and Joe, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Hate That I Love You, Victoria Monét, Che'Nelle, Scotty McCreery and Fantasy Ride, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
