'Part of the List', Ne-Yo
I’m researching a bit for my next Def Jam Fan Fic story (check that out, btw) and stumbled on a compilation of love songs from artists on the label. Ne-Yo released the album ‘Year of the Gentleman’ in 2008 and my lil teenage heart fluttered. It was full of gems that we expected from him. ‘Part of the List’ made me shed tears missing the boyfriend I never had and that is definitely a sign of great songwriting. If you’ve never heard it, check it out and get in your feels.
