Ne-Yo confirms duet with Celine Dion: 'It was surreal'

R&B superstar Ne-Yo has revealed that he has been working with Celine Dion on her new album and they have recorded a collaborative duet.

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, the 'Beautiful Monster' hitmaker explained that initially he just wrote a song that was intended for her, but they ended up partnering in the studio and sang on a track together:

"The first time I worked for her I wrote a song for her, which in itself was surreal. This time around I actually did a duet with her - it's her and me on one song, which was a challenge to say the least! I was trying to figure what I was even doing there - why would they need my voice when they have hers?"

Ne-Yo added that being asked to record vocals with her was a 'flattering' moment because she is so talented with such an impressive range: "She wanted to do the song as a duet and I was flattered, but it definitely made me question my vocal ability."

Meanwhile, Ne-Yo has also been working with Beyoncé on her forthcoming new cut and recently revealed that her final tracklisting includes a couple of his songs.
