Self Explanatory is the eighth studio album by American singer Ne-Yo. It was released by Compound Entertainment and Motown on July 15, 2022.[1]
Self Explanatory debuted at number 184 on the US Billboard 200, marking his lowest charting album in the country.
Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave Self Explanatory three and a half stars out of five and called it Ne-Yo's "most biographical album yet." Ammar Kalia from The Guardian remarked that "strong vocals and head-nodding moments aside, the R&B singer-songwriter's latest record falls short of his career highs." He found that "the pleasant nostalgia of [the] highlights isn't enough to carry the record as a whole: tracks such as "Proud of You," "Call Me Up" and "No Loot" play as mid-tempo filler."
Self Explanatory debuted at number 184 on the US Billboard 200 in the week ending July 30, 2022. This marks Ne-Yo's lowest-charting album; his 2019 Christmas album Another Kind of Christmas failed to chart. On Billboards component charts, the album also entered the Current Album Sales at number 59.[2]
