Concert Review: Ne-Yo Drew Audiences “Closer” With Future & Classic Hits At KL Show

The hype for American singer Ne-Yo’s return was real! Last year, after the announcement of his concert in KL, fans rushed to get their hands on tickets as soon as they were available. Those who grew up listening to the R&B superstar’s music would not miss the chance to see him perform his hits live on stage.

Brought to you and organised by Hitman Solutions and HappyMoon, the “Self Explanatory World Tour” concert was held last night at Plenary Hall, KL Convention Centre. We can tell you that the energy from the crowd was insane! Here’s what went down:

Kicking off the night with “Miss Independent” in a nice blue suit, Ne-Yo got the audience screaming as soon as he appeared on stage. With a total capacity of 2994 seats, the sold-out show got members of the audience on their feet singing and dancing along while the singer performed songs like “She Knows”, “Closer” “Monster” and “One In A Million”.

The 43-year-old captivated fans with his stage presence, dance moves, and amazing live vocals all through the night, reminding us just how much of an impact he’s made in our lives. To thank his fans for their never-ending support throughout the years, the three-time Grammy winner introduced everyone to some new songs (what he referred to them as ‘future classics’) like “Handle Me Gently”, and “U2 Luv” from his new album “Self Explanatory”.

And speaking of classics, the R&B artist knew exactly what the people wanted as he slowed things down with “Mad” and the one-and-only, legendary fan favourite, “So Sick” accompanied by a beautiful sea of lights from everyone’s smartphones. One can’t help but sing along to those emotional hits while being completely mesmerised by the songwriter’s soulful vocals. During certain parts of the show, some lucky fans got a sniff of the “Battle: Los Angeles” star (literally) whenever he threw a hand towel into the audience after wiping himself with them.

The fun didn’t end there as Ne-Yo not only treated us fans with old and new music but also to songs that he has written and produced for other artists like Beyonce’s iconic “Irreplaceable”, and Rihanna’s “Take A Bow”. Believe us when we say that there wasn’t a moment of idle whenever the singer was on stage. Was there an encore? Well, you wouldn’t think the solo artist would just end his show without one, would you?

As soon as the American celeb left the stage and the lights went out, audience members could be heard screaming “WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE!” and of course, our wish came true when Ne-Yo returned to keep the party going with “Let’s Go”, and “Give Me Everything” before ending the night with “Time Of Our Lives”.

We were definitely ‘So Sick’ that the show ended but Ne-Yo did not disappoint anyone with his intimate yet extremely energetic show. Throughout the whole night, the singer got everyone’s full attention, and all eyes were glued to him.

What a way to start the year 2023 and we look forward to the next time he comes to Malaysia! Check out a sneak peek of the concert below:
