Ne-Yo Releases New Song To Promote Healthy Relationships

Song will be available for download exclusively on macys.com/ne-yo with a donation to the RESPECT! Campaign

NEW YORK, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ — Multi-platinum recording artist Ne-Yo, who is currently the face of popular Macy’s menswear brand Alfani,
has penned a new song promoting positive, healthy relationships to
benefit the RESPECT! Campaign.  In between recording songs for his next
album to be released in August, the R&B crooner wrote Heroes – a
strong ballad with a poignant message about everyday heroes that shape
lives in goodness and in turn help build a world that is free of
relationship violence. Heroes will be available for download on February 2nd (through March 31,^, 2010) exclusively on www.macys.com/ne-yo. For each download, Alfani will donate $1 to the RESPECT! Campaign, up to $50,000.  

Ne-Yo, who last night premiered the song on Late Night with David Letterman,
was approached by Alfani to write and record a song in tribute to
healthy relationships to raise awareness for the RESPECT! Campaign.  He
was eager to be a part of bringing national attention to this important
issue.

“Respect
is the foundation of positive relationships. There’s often too much
violence around us – and we need to focus on and celebrate those
behaviors that inspire healthy interactions. I hope this song brings
visibility to the issue and encourages all of us to be heroes to
others.”  -Ne-Yo

The RESPECT! Campaign is a multi-year initiative supported by Macy’s,
the national founding partner. The social action campaign is designed
to promote respect in relationships and increase awareness about the
positive role everyone can play to help end and prevent relationship
violence and abuse. It starts with something everyone can do: Give
respect to others. To learn more, visit www.GiveRespect.org.
