On this day in 2006 (28 February), Ne-Yo’s debut album, In My Own Words, debuted at number 1 in America.
This album for me, brings back great memories of being on holiday in Florida. Even now, when I close my eyes and listen to all songs on this album, my mind goes straight back to the glorious Florida sunshine and what a great time I had.
It’s so hard to comprehend that 2006 is now 15 years ago! Ne-Yo has released a 15th anniversary edition of the album on Spotify which I’ve been listening to non-stop all day. It features the original songs, plus a few new remixes, acoustic and instrumental versions. My favourite has to be the acoustic version of Sexy Love. A truly romantic song that really highlights the incredible talent that Ne-Yo has.
I urge you all to have a listen to this album… it’s definitely one of my favourites, even 15 years later.
Enjoy and stay musical.
