Ne-Yo Went Country? Inside Highway 79 | The Cool Check-In (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ne-Yo's tenth studio album, Highway 79, pairs his R&B pedigree with real Nashville songwriting talent — Luke Laird, Charles Kelley of Lady A, BRELAND, Rhett Akins, Chuck Harmony, Tayla Parx. He calls it country-inspired, not a country album, and the title nods to his 1979 birth year and a real Arkansas road. We break down how he went from a career-low 2022 album to a #1 R&B-chart debut by going independent, plus the eight-month rollout that built this record.
