Ne-Yo Opens Up About Harsh Realities in the Music Industry and His Debut Country Album

Ne-Yo stops by they Cyrus household, and somehow they end up talking about Reba McEntire, budget theft, and Taco Bell?! Twenty years after his debut, Ne-Yo is making a country album (recorded entirely in Nashville) and he has a lot to say about why. How R&B started to feel like a costume, why the first country song he ever heard (Reba's "Fancy") still lives in his head rent-free, and what it was like to walk into Tim McGraw's house expecting a studio and find him barefoot with a guitar while Faith Hill cooked chicken. He also gets into the stuff no one usually talks about: discovering at 20 unsettling things about his label, writing songs that ended up on other people's records, and what Jay-Z said the first time they met (hint: not "hello"). Plus, a story about Sia, back before anyone knew who she was, that explains everything about how she became famous while staying invisible. It's nostalgia at it's finest, Stoners!
