Libra Scale takes the narcissism inherent in that stance, makes it the hero’s hubris, and raises him from perfect boyfriend to heartbreaker status. The gentleman obviously pandered to, and won over, a massive female audience. He loved independent women, would take you out when you got dumped, and stare at you on the dancefloor. With 2008’s Year of the Gentleman the singer/producer turned his talent for a saccharine, infectious soul ballad (see So Sick from his 2006 debut album) into making himself the most desirable man in the world. Ne-Yo’s new album complicates the persona established on his last full length.
