"I really gotta stop judging books by their cover. I was expecting him to be really up tight. But he wasn't! He was so relaxed, cool and down to earth."The result of their studio session was a track entitled Call My Name, which Ne-Yo says is
"about a mistake that a woman has made in choosing between two guys, and he's letting her know, 'I'm here regardless; call my name and I'm there'." And Ne-Yo reveals Bolton based the lyrics on his own lovelife, after splitting from actress fiancee Nicollette Sheridan last month (Aug08).
Asked whether the song had any personal meaning for Bolton, Ne-Yo replies: "Kinda sort of. But we both agreed that we had been in that boat before." He adds, "We sat and talked about all kinds of stuff - how he's newly single, marriage, the road - he was honestly one of the cooler sessions I've been in this year."
Meanwhile, he has brushed off rumours he holds a grudge against fellow R&B singer R. KELLY after winning a lawsuit against the star's tour promoter earlier this month (Sep08). The So Sick hitmaker won $700,320 in damages in a lawsuit filed against bosses at Rowe Entertainment Inc. after he was dropped as the support act from Kelly's 2007 tour.The move came amid allegations that Kelly feared the younger singer was upstaging him - claims Kelly, who was not named in the suit, has always refuted. And Ne-Yo insists he bears no ill will towards the star. He tells the New York Daily News,
"I don't hate R. Kelly. It wasn't even really a feud. It's all in the past."But Ne-Yo admits he has big plans for the compensation cash, adding,
"I think I'm going to use the money and open up a club or a cigar bar in Atlanta."
