Ne-Yo Praises Coldplay And Other Indie Bands

Ne-Yo has praised Coldplay and even says listening to their music has introduced him to other indie bands.

"I went out and got 'Parachutes', I got 'Rush of Blood to the Head', I got all of them," the R&B singer tells the BBC.

"Then, through Coldplay, I was introduced to Radiohead, and from them into Muse, and from Muse into Kings of Leon - it just kept rollin'."

Discovering new music didn't just end there either, as Ne-Yo also says these different styles have shaped his sound:

"It really acted as an inspiration - new melodies, new ways to say stuff, new guitar sounds."
