Singer/Songwriter/Actor Neyo has Motown Record and departing from his former record label Def Jam.

Also, the Grammy award winning artist as been a pointed to be the VP of A&R at the label too. Which meaning Neyo will be help developing upcoming artists on the Motown Roster. I think this is a fresh start for the  R&B superstar. The mega superstar coming off a No. 1 Hot 100 hit last year as a featured guest on Pitbull's "Give Me Everything" (also featuring Afrojack and Nayer), Ne-Yo released four albums during his Def Jam tenure. With cumulative U.S. sales of 4.3 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan, the four include: 2010's "Libra Scale," 2008's "Year of the Gentleman," 2007's "Because of You" and 2006's "In My Own Words." The two latter albums were both No. 1 debuts on the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. His hit singles includes "Miss Independent" -- which netted Ne-Yo Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance - "Closer" and "Mad." Lets see how 2012 plays out for Neyo playing for a new team.
