Three-time Grammy Award-winning superstar Ne-Yo’s movie career over the past five years has had a profound effect on his work as a composer – revealed in the cinematic story-line of his fourth album, LIBRA SCALE. The quarter Chinese R&B singer released the music video Beautiful Monster off the album. The other video dropped along with this is Champagne Life. How do these two videos tie together? Here’s more about the plot line for more of his upcoming album and mini movie:

The story centers on the misadventures of ‘The Gentlemen,’ the trio of Jerome (played by Ne-Yo), Clyde and Leroy. After encountering a mysterious figure, the three are granted everything they could ever want – money, fame, cars, girls…and superpowers; the only catch being that they cannot fall in love. For Clyde and Leroy, the pre-condition is easy. Not so for Jerome (Ne-Yo), who falls for Pretty Sinclair, a vivacious no-nonsense stunner. He captures her heart and they begin a relationship – which is when she contracts a strain of his super-powers and suffers an adverse reaction that effectively drives her crazy.

The plot thickens as she is transformed into ‘Diamond Eye,’ a monster who sets about destroying the Gotham-like city. At this point, the mysterious figure re-appears. Disappointed in Jerome, he offers him an ultimatum: allow Diamond Eye and Pretty Sinclair both to die, and the city is saved – or allow Pretty Sinclair to live and reverse all the damage Diamond Eye has done, but Jerome must die. Will he choose “the love of his life” or his own “love of life?” We are left with Jerome weighing up the decision on a ‘Libra Scale’…hence the album’s title.

Lyrics to Champagne Life by Ne-Yo

[Intro]
Yes, it’s a beautiful day
It’s gone be a beautiful night
Break out the champagne
Everybody get a glass
Let’s start it off sexy
What do you say

Uh, and all the ladies say (Uh-huh)
Uh, and all the ladies say (Uh-huh)
Think I like that
Uh, and all the ladies say (Uh-huh)

Welcome to champagne life
Where trouble is a bubble in a champagne glass
Dreams and reality are one and the same
And we gone do it like this (Oh)

[Verse 1]
Got an addiction for life in this living
Like everyday’s my birthday, I know what I’m getting
And reserved for time ‘cause that’s where I’m sitting
Me and my friends and found 6 Miss Independents (Independents)
And my attitudes so chilled and so breezy (breezy)
My design is suit, I make this look easy (easy)
Sexy baby , don’t you dare act like you don’t see me
Baby, I know you see me

[Chorus]
It’s all about them, fast car nights and them big wheel days
Living the champagne life, everything’s okay
Let’s toast it up (Oh)
Let’s toast it up (Oh)

Said we play all night and we play all day
Living the champagne life, everything’s okay
Let’s toast it up (Oh)
Baby, let’s toast it up (Oh)
Champagne life

[Verse 2]
Got bent out property on cloud nine (Oh)
I got the sun jealous ‘cause the way I shine (Oh)
And reserved for time ‘cause that’s how I do mine
Nice meal and a good wine, definition of a good time (time)
Living out my dreams, watching them come true (come true)
Baby, I’m the boss, I don’t know what they do (they do)

You’ve put down the ride, come on and I’ll take you

Living the champagne life and everything’s okay
