Leave it to Jazmine Sullivan and Ne-Yo to make breaking up with someone sound so soothing. Ms. Sullivan is no longer busting out windows, instead she takes the high road and is just glad they aren’t together anymore. Take a listen to “You Get On My Nerves” from her sophomore LP Love Me Back that drops on November 30th.

Ne-Yo’s new album Libra Scale is in stores today. The Soul Train Awards 2010 nominee took some time out to answer questions from fans via facebook and twitter. Check out video of the Q&A.

If you could ask Ne-Yo anything, what would you ask? SOUND OFF in the comments.

SoulTrain.com caught up with Ne-Yo in the Red Soul Lounge at the 2010 Soul Train Awards taping. The Red Soul Lounge supported the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women campaign that builds awareness about heart disease and strokes and empowers women to take charge of their health. Ne-Yo dished on the ways he keeps his heart healthy and he encourages the ladies to the same. Check it Out:

Up and coming producer Boola—who’s production will surely yield success a kin to Pharrell Williams and Swizz Beatz—sat down with me exclusively to congratulate his friend Ne-Yo on his Soul Train Award 2010 nominations. He also dished on the recording process with the singer/songwriter—the pair have worked together several times—and his dream collaboration.

Boola has followed in the foot steps of Kanye West and Swizz Beatz, and is currently in the middle of an online free download series called Produced By Boola. The first record released in the series was “Shot Down” that featured Ne-Yo. Missed the free download? Log on HERE.

After releasing “Beautiful Monster,” “Champagne Life” and “One In A Million”; it would be safe to say Ne-Yo has embraced a more pop sound, but one thing’s for sure, this singer/songwriter still has plenty of soul in his bones—and thats proven with this recently surfaced track, “Shot Down.” While the tune won’t be featured on his upcoming album, Libra Scale (available November 22nd), producer Boola released it as 1 of 10 songs from his “Produced BY Boola” series. Check out the song below and SOUND OFF in the comments section below.

Since the 2009 release of her debut Album, In A Perfect World, Keri Hilson has released a series of chart-topping hits—including the #1 Billboard R&B hit “Knock You Down” featuring Kanye West and Ne-Yo. The singer/songwriter has a long resume that stretches back to 2006 and includes penning hits for the likes of Beyonce, Usher, Ciara, Ludacris and even pop star Britney Spears. Her first effort unsurprisingly went gold and this Decatur, GA native went on to win the Soul Train Award for Best New Artist last year. After being named the face of AVON’s Imari fragrance this past spring, the now blonde maned Hilson is gearing up for the release of her sophomore album No Boys Allowed. The first single “Breaking Point” (Did you catch her perform it on Black Girls Rock! last night?) has been slowly easing up the R&B charts. She recently sat with AOL’s Boombox to talk music and the new album. Check out the video and SOUND OFF below.

Ms. Keri Ba-By is nominated this year for BEST HIP HOP SONG OF THE YEAR for her vocals on T.I.’s “I Got Your Back.” Tune in November 28th at 9pm EST on BET & Centric to see if she wins.
