Rap-Up.com || Album Cover: Ne-Yo

Ne-Yo is suited up for action on the cover of his storybook-themed fourth album Libra Scale. Wearing a fedora and a sharp ensemble, the singer-songwriter poses atop a high-rise building in front of a group of assassins, prepped for war behind their fearless leader.

The project, due in stores October 19 (the day after his 31st birthday), has already spawned the tracks “Beautiful Monster,” “One Life,” and “One in a Million,” with “Monster” and “Champagne Life” receiving mini-movies.

“The songs on the album are all songs inspired by this story I wrote,” the father-to-be previously told Rap-Up TV. “Libra Scale is a question of morality. Weighed out on a libra scale, if you had to choose between money, power, fame, or love, which one would you put the most value on? Which one would prevail in your life?”

Huge fan of Ne-Yo … glad to see an artist expand his creativity and go in different directions with his music … too few of those type of artists nowadays.

I’ll give him two things…
1. for putting Galen on the cover, she’s too fine
and 2. for that ‘S’ looking like a treble clef, very clever.

Pretty cool. Not going to say it sucks but it isn’t awesome either. The people behind Ne-Yo on the cover do look fake and weird. I also don’t know why his arm is up…not like he’s looking at a watch are something. Overall, I give it a 6 out of 10 (generously).
@ droppig
Yeah I agree, it does look a little cheap too.

sorry…but you CAN’T ignore, that THIS is the biggest proof of the illuminati. you can’t see his right eye, his right hand shows a 6 and the metall tower is a triange. his hand is like glowing. It’s in the middle of this triangle. I hope you’ll understand this….please not to late!

The cover looks very “Illuminati”: The one eye, the triangle of the tower, the O sign.

Looks like a mix-tape cover, he should’ve for something more minimalistic. Not bad though.

i’m sorry, i don’t think the cover looks like it has a sexual orientation, so it can’t “look gay”. gay does not equal stupid, lame, cheap, etc. grow up.
