Ne-Yo 'To Work On Keisha's Debut Album?'

Keisha Buchanan's solo career may be getting off to a good star - US R&B start Ne-Yo apparently wants to give the former Sugababes singer a helping hand as she records her first album.

Insiders say Ne-Yo personally approached Buchanan upon hearing she was going it alone. Talking to London Lite, the spy reveals: "Keisha has known Ne-Yo for a few years. They are close friends and have worked together on Sugababes material."

"So when he heard she had left the group he contacted her and told her he wants to work with her."

It's thought Keisha will be releasing her debut solo CD in early 2010, not that she has signed a new record deal.
