Ne-Yo's debut album, In My Own Words, turns 20 this year—and we've got the anniversary vinyl pressing available for you to shop on Complex.
Released in 2006, In My Own Words topped the Billboard 200 chart and spawned his first No. 1 song, “So Sick.” That kind of entrance doesn't happen by accident. Ne-Yo had spent years building toward that moment, quietly becoming one of the most sought-after pens in the business before most people knew his name as a solo artist.
The original album is now remixed and remastered—a 2LP vinyl reissue with bonus tracks.
Twenty years later, Ne-Yo remains one of the most versatile figures in music—a three-time Grammy winner who has written hits for Beyoncé, Rihanna, Mario, Miguel, and Chris Brown, among others, and who continues to push into new creative territory. The anniversary of In My Own Words is a chance to revisit where that journey started.
