Veteran songbird Celine Dion has commissioned Ne-Yo to collaboration for some upcoming tracks the French-Canadian has been working on.

“Celine has asked me to come on board and help her ‘get-up-to-date’ ’cause she’s had to basically do the same thing for the last five years,” Ne-Yo told Fox Online.

“The music industry keeps changing, and Celine knows she needs get more down with it to keep up her singing success. We’ve been working on a few different projects together — gotta say it’s not a collaboration I ever expected to be doing, but its fun.”
