The new song is available now
Three-time, Grammy Award-winning hitmaker Ne-Yo has announced his new single “Link Up,” a smooth and seductive song that was produced by Hitmaka, Cardiak and Wu10 and samples the 1980s R&B hit “Looking Up To You,” recorded by Michael Wycoff. The new single can be streamed via Motown Records/Compound Entertainment.
As part of the single release, the multi-platinum musician also unveiled the corresponding, official video for “Link Up.” The visual also includes appearances by Hitmaka, TikToker Ayo Tay and his Starz co-star Terrence Green from their hit show Step Up: High Water.
The new single comes as his renowned Champagne and Roses Tour with Mario and special guest Pleasure P approaches its finale with shows in Sugar Land, TX tonight (Fri, Sept 29th) and a pair of California dates during the first week of October. From there, Ne-Yo will play two additional shows – October 21st at Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln, CA and December 1st at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN.
Over the course of the summer, Ne-Yo continued to shine on a wide array of stages, including a headlining performance at The White House’s 4th of July celebration on the South Lawn. He also delivered his iconic hits at Michael Rubin’s renowned, Hamptons white party in July that brought together the biggest titans in business, entertainment, sports and music.
“Link Up” marks his first release since his eighth studio album, Self Explanatory, which included collaborations with Yung Bleu, Jeremih and Trippie Redd. His collaboration with Jeremih on “U 2 Luv” topped Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart for three weeks.
