R&B star Ne-Yo has become “bored” of traditional R&B music, so he plans to take a different approach on his third studio album.

The singer is promising fans new sounds on his forthcoming album, “Year of the Gentleman,” which is scheduled to be released on June 24th, 2008.

He says, “There’s some stuff on there that sounds like something the Beatles might’ve done. There’s some stuff on there that sounds like something Billy Joel might’ve done. I can’t do just straight urban music no more, because to be completely honest with you, I’m a little bored with it. I’m just moving with what music excites me now.”

The So Bored hitmaker is currently on tour with Alicia Keys and Jordin Sparks, as part of the As I Am tour.
