Grammy-Award winner Ne-Yo, who has impressed audiences with his talents since his 2006 with his multi-platinum, chart topping debut "In My Own Words", is ready to bring back R&B to the top. But his fans have to wait a little longer to get the singer's new album after it was reported that its release date is being pushed back.

"Year Of The Gentleman" was supposed to hit stores on June 23, but it know has been pushed back to August 5. There are rumors that the pushing back for the album was caused by a poor reception of the album's first single "Closer".

With Ne-Yo's third disc "Year of the Gentleman", the Las Vegas native and premier songwriter has constructed a suite of songs that shows exactly what he means by class. The new album follows big footsteps because his two previous albums "In My Own Words" and "Because Of You" both debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
