Ne-Yo on writing for Michael Jackson album

The American singer-songwriter Ne-Yo has transformed himself from a songwriter for stars such as Beyonce and Rhianna to becoming one of the hottest R&B singers in his own right.

His latest single, Beautiful Monster, is currently on course to top the singles chart this weekend.

The track is off his new album, Libra Scale, which is out next month.

He spoke to Breakfast about fatherhood, festivals and the album he was working on with the late Michael Jackson.
