I Call It Love-Lionel Richie

what do you guys think of this song? It sounds like it was written by ne yo, like another So Sick, but it's pretty catchy and melodic, though it's not exactly Hello or All Night Long

I like this song. It wasn't written by Ne-Yo, however, one of the writers has co-written with Ne-yo. The song was written by ERIKSEN MIKKEL STORLEER, HERMANSEN TOR ERIK and JACKSON TARIANO ADARYLL (which I think is Tito's son).

Mikkel Eriksen co-wrote several songs with Ne-Yo like "Unfaithful" for Rihanna and "Irreplaceable" for Beyonce. He also wrote "Beautiful Liar" for Beyonce and Shikara and "Wait For You" (for Elliott Yamin).

if that is the case with ne yo's co-writer, then I'm wondering why ne yo gets so much hype for being a songwriter. And now that you mention it, the melody had a bit of a jackson/3t vibe to it.

Hate to admit it but it's a well written song and Lionel did a great job singing it. I enjoyed his recent BET concert.

If I'm not mistaken I can hear Ne-Yo doing backing vocals on the song...

Nah, Tito Jackson, Jr. (Taj) is doing the background vocals.

Nope...Taj Jackson sang all of the backgrounds. (sorry...didn't realize this was a duplicate).

I thought this album as a whole was a big let down, it was just so overproduced and slick sounding, i never got into it at all. Even though Raphael and Chuckii did alot of the production the album was just to "produced" and was an attempt to have lionel sound like a 20 year old.
