◇ image via WikipediaNe-Yo
Ne-Yo is a Contemporary R&B and Hip hop act. Their catalogue also touches House and Pop. Their sound grew out of Karl Wolf, Konvicted, Michael Jackson, Cirkut and Cherish. Those roots explain a lot about how Ne-Yo arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Omarion, The-Dream, Joe, Jordin Sparks and Brian McKnight, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Ken Hirai, Dawn Richard, Tayc, Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded and Sweet 7, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 84 connections around Ne-Yo, reaching back through Karl Wolf and forward to Ken Hirai.
