Ne-Yo And New Kids On The Block Team Up To Petition The World’s DJs

The full version of “Single,” the Ne-Yo/New Kids On The Block collaboration that was teased yesterday, has hit the Web, and… well, it still sounds pretty much like a Ne-Yo track that has a guest rapper (who I’m pretty sure is one Mr. Donald “Donnie” Wahlberg, unless Jon Knight was working on his tongue-twisting skills during downtime in the real estate business) and a chorus of backing vocalists. Related: The song’s play on the word “single,” in which one of the New Kids refers to the possibility of playing the song at the club, is ickily reminiscent of their plea to their concert-going fans to call in and request “Summertime.” Guys! Seriously. You don’t need to do that. It’s not like “Hangin’ Tough” had a lyric about “calling in to request a funky song,” you know? [YouTube]
