I'd say Ne-Yo is probably the least essential of the three performers on 'Knock You Down' but it is a pretty great song overall.

I actually do really like most of Ne-Yo's hit singles, 'Closer' will always be his best for me. 'Coming With You' from 2015 was really underrated as well I think, shame that turned out to be a turning point with him becoming pretty rapidly irrelevant afterwards (although from what little I've heard of his post-2015 output I can't say it's really interested me much tbf).


'Coming With You' really was one of his best!

He seemed to be one of those artists that got swallowed up in the transition to streaming, somehow.

12 top 10 hits including features (at least 3 of which I'd say he's more than a significant enough presence on to count them as 'Ne-Yo hits') and he had several other hits if you don't arbitrarily cut off at #10 as well, I'd say he has a pretty expansive chart history tongue.gif (not to mention that 5 out of those 12 were #1s! though 'Beautiful Monster' is probably one of his most forgettable hits despite being one of those #1s lol)


Beautiful Monster is memorable because the production in the verses is clearly influenced by Josh Wink - Higher State of Consciousness!

But the last chorus of Closer where the beat changes is great and 'Miss Independent' is very nostalgic sounding now I think.

Coming With You is very good I remember it featured on the best selling Motown songs day BBC Radio 2 did and yes its a good modern interpretation of the Motown sound!

Most of his collabs are great and I honestly think Knock You Down is such a great song.


Yeah I liked it at the time and it's still a good song.

I've not listened to it for ages, but Ne-Yo used to be a mainstay on Heart FM with both Closer (it was wonderful to see that get to No.1 after quite a long and slow climb) and Give Me Everything, which iirc they used to use their very own edit which effectively cuts out Pitbull - the lead artist - and just repeats Ne-Yo's part countless times laugh.gif

Closer: I can't recall it being a slow and painful climb to number one... I'm sure it climbed to #1 with the CD release? I don't think that was hugely out of the ordinary - the biggest hits aside.

Give Me Everything: Heart must really HATE Pitbull, used to find that edit hilarious; I'm sure it used to get announced as "Give Me Everything, by Ne-Yo" too 🤣

Closer's run was: 22-24-12-7-5-3-2-1

Not that slow, or out of the ordinary, but relatively so for 2008 and by his prior standards. I certainly recall being pleasantly surprised when it edged its way up to No.1, though I don't remember what week the CD came out.

Edit - yes apparently it did go 2-1 with the CD release!

It wasn't really specifically Pitbull, they just used to never play any rap music (they had a similar edit for 'I Gotta Feeling'). Although they would somewhat bafflingly still occasionally play 'Gangsta's Paradise' by Coolio which always struck me as a very weird song to pick as your one exception to no rap ever (I expect it was because of the Stevie Wonder sample but still!)

That's a really interesting point Aly, I think a lot of artists in that late 00s to early 10s struggled with the move to streaming, viralism etc. - Jessie J, Taio Cruz, Flo Rida, Nicki Minaji, Pitbull, Lil Wayne to name put a few. All had solid hits over a good proportion of years but really struggled when streaming took off. I think a lot of these may just be down to natural cycles and the cutthroat nature of the music industry, but it is surprising!

Every new decade has a bit of a clearout from the music of the previous, a combination of changing styles and music distribution - disco became incredibly uncool a year or two into the 1980s and ABBA were surprisingly unpopular for a few years up until their 90s revival. A lot of 80s synth groups struggled to move into the 90s, a lot of 90s pop acts didn't make it long into the 2000s and then there's the download/streaming transition in the 2010s as mentioned.

On the plus side there's always a revival of the bands and styles of 20 years previous, so look out for a lot of 2000s-era acts getting a second go at things in the years ahead!

Does the 20 year trend cycle mean we're going to see a revival of mid 00's indie in a couple of years. wink.gif

No one needs the returns of Taio Cruz, Flo Rida and Jessie J . Stranger things have happened though.
