Ne-Yo confirms Celine Dion duet

Ne-Yo has confirmed rumors that he will record a duet with Celine Dion.

The singer and producer, who is working on songs for the star’s forthcoming album, told Digital Spy the experience is “surreal”. ”

The first time I worked for her I wrote a song for her, which in itself was surreal,” he said.

“This time around I actually did a duet with her – it’s her and me on one song, which was a challenge to say the least! I was trying to figure what I was even doing there – why would they need my voice when they have hers?”

He added: “She wanted to do the song as a duet and I was flattered, but it definitely made me question my vocal ability.”

Dion’s forthcoming album – tentatively titled Water and Flame – follows 2007’s Taking Chances and marks her tenth English album.

Ne-Yo recently discussed working on Beyoncé’s new album, revealing that he was “happy” two of his songs had made the tracklisting.

Ne-Yo is currently on tour in the UK, hitting Glasgow’s SECC tonight
