R&B singer Ne-Yo recently voiced his concerns about the current state of the music industry in which artists who boast several multi platinum selling singles experience disastrous album sales.
“I feel like it falls on the shoulders of not only the record label, but the artists themselves. I feel like the thing that makes you go out and get a person’s whole album is you liking that artist, you connecting with that artist,” says Ne-Yo.
“I feel like a lot of people are saying that the industry is moving to just being singles driven, and that’s kind of a cop out to me. So it’s like, basically that means that we sign a bunch of disposal artists, you know, as long as we get one hit that’s good? That’s B.S.”
Ne-Yo’s own recent album ‘Libra Scale’ entered the Billboard 200 at No. 9 with the lowest first week sales of his career.
