A “Beautiful Monster” wreaks havoc on Ne-Yo’s life, but he doesn’t seem to mind. The killer dance record was produced by Stargate and is the first single from his fourth album Libra Scale, coming September 21.

“The song embodies a portion of a story that the music on the album is inspired by. ‘Beautiful Monster’ is in fact our love interest/arch-nemesis. Her name is Diamond Eye in the film,” explains the R&B gentleman.

If the storybook concept doesn’t make sense now, it will once you see the forthcoming videos and film, Ne-Yo assures us.
