Drop Everything: Ne-Yo is Releasing New Music

If you’re looking for some early adolescent nostalgia, look no further; Ne-Yo is dropping new music. The “Miss Independent” singer, everyone’s designated middle school crush, is back with a new single, his feature on a single pushing a new initiative for hope, and his activism are currently giving us everything we didn’t know we needed.

“U 2 Luv”

Ne-Yo’s new single, “U 2 Luv”, featuring Jeremih, and two remixes of the single additionally featuring Queen Najia and Lil Durk, are out on all streaming platforms now.

The single, which dropped October 23, is serving late ’90s R ‘n B vibes, perfect for a lowkey night in. The remix of “U 2 Luv” featuring Queen Najia and Lil Durk has a similar sound, but with a little more rap. This remix is a little saucier than the original. The “U 2 Luv” Shift K3Y remix is a much more upbeat, hip-hop sound, similar to a dance mix.

All three versions of the song are classic Ne-Yo and are true to his music and style thus far in his career thus far. You can listen to Ne-Yo’s latest single, “U 2 Luv”, here:
