With his new album, Non Fiction releasing in November, Ne-Yo says that R&B is heading in the right direction.
"R&B environment right now, it’s very diverse,” Ne-Yo says during an interview with HipHopDX August 29,, 2014. "There’s your traditional Hip Hop, traditional R&B and then there’s the mixture of the two. A lot of young cats coming up right now. I feel good about the genre right now. I feel like positive moves are being made.”
