Singer/songwriter Ne-Yorecently revealed he is starting on a new album, his first since 2008′s Year Of The Gentlemen, and according to the R&B crooner it will be different from his usual sound.
Without revealing much information he told MTV News, “Just know I’m doing something a little different this time around. Just be expecting that were gonna bring back entertainment — that’s what were gonna do. Yes, I’ve decided to make it the lifetime of the gentlemen.”
He also talked about starting on the new project on his Twitter page, writing: “Very blessed to write on and be a part of other great projects, but nothing like working on my own album…Back in the US! Busy week this week and Friday I start recording the new album.”
Ne-Yo is also working on furthering his acting career, and proclaimed that he wanted to be the next Tom Hanks.
“I was quoted as once saying I want to be the black Tom Hanks,” he said. “And what I mean by that is Tom Hanks is the kind of guy that can do comedy, action, you name it. So I want to be that guy. I want to do all different genres of movies and do them well.”
Ne-Yo will appear in the upcoming films, Red Tails, a story about the Tuskegee Airmen, alongside Cuba Gooding Jr., and Terrance Howard, and Battle: Los Angeles, an alien-invasion flick, which will reach theaters in 2011.
