Ne-Yo is eyeing an odd collaboration with rockers Fall Out Boy.
He has previously worked with the likes of Beyonce Knowles and Rihanna, and recently lent a hand to Lindsay Lohan's forthcoming second album.
But he wants to branch out further afield and try a completely different genre of music.
He admits he considered approaching Coldplay frontman Chris Martin for a duetbut decided upon the Dance, Dance stars instead and is already in talks with the group.
He says, "I thought about it (working with Martin) but Kanye (West) and Jay-Z have done it already, so I don't wanna seem like I'm bandwaggoning (sic). I have been talking to Fall Out Boy about doing some stuff, but who knows?"
