Ne-Yo Reluctant

Ne-Yo worked on lots of songs with Michael before he passed away, and he is now reluctant to record those songs himself, in case he appears to the public to be ‘cashing in.’

Ne-Yo said on the topic; “Michael told me the songs had to be magical. ‘Magical’ was a word that kept coming up. He chose about ten of my songs for his new album. But I don’t know what to do with them now. I’m afraid that if I make a tribute record people will think I’m cashing in on my idol.”
