Ne-Yo VS. Trey Songz In Verzuz Battle? Ne-Yo Has Interest
Ne-Yo is gearing up to release his eighth studio album, he announced during his welcome to Clubhouse party on Sunday Night. Ne-Yo is known for hit such as Miss Independent, So Sick, Mad, Closer, Sexy Love, and The Way You Move featuring Trey Songz, and T-Pain.
Like Ne-Yo, Songz dropped his eighth album ‘Back Home’ earlier this year, which means both artists could be a good matchup for a future Verzuz battle. Ne-Yo sounded off on the possibility on Clubhouse.
If Ne-Yo and Trey Songz were to square off that is something fans would want to see. Songz has numerous hit as well, such as, Bottoms Up, Neighbors Know My Name, Heart Attack, Say Aah, Fumble, Famous, Already Taken, and Panty Droppa.
Some Individuals have raised the question, is R&B dead?
However, with artists such as, Beyoncé, Chris Brown, Usher, Ne-Yo, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, John Legend, The Weeknd, and Sza still around it is far from dead. Those are still releasing singles and albums that the public can still vibe out to.
