I will definitely buy the album. Not because of Ne-Yo and Akon, because I am old-school and am looking forward for something for us Old-schoolers..However, Ne-Yo and Akon contribution should be great and also appeal to the younger fans, and also interest my teens in Lionels music. I played Lionel's last CD so much....I had to retire it and buy another. I look forward to hearing the new CD.

This makes me want to go out and get the album because you have two young geniuses working with a legend. It should be great. I wish Lionel Richie the best of luck.
