Late Nite VIP is the debut studio album by Billboard Top 20 charting [1] American recording artist, DJ and producer Keo Nozari.

Contents

Years of live performances in the early 2000s — including solo shows in New York City at former CBGBs and the Virgin Megastore [1] — culminated in Nozari releasing his debut album Late Nite VIP on October 18, 2005. [2] The album of his original material received both critical acclaim and commercial success. Billboard Magazine (in a review for the December 10, 2005 issue, pages 49–50) compared Nozari's singing style to "a young George Michael", [3] and cited Late Nite VIP’s “electro-funk-fueled pop sound” as being on par with the work of writer-producer Stuart Price (Madonna’s Confessions on a Dancefloor) and Janet Jackson’s longtime collaborators, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis [3] from his hometown of Minneapolis. [3] Keo co-produced the album with Ellis Miah, whose production credits include Miley Cyrus [4] with some of the original tracks mixed by Jody den Broeder.

The first single off Late Nite VIP, "Close Enough" was licensed to Armin Van Buuren's Armada Music / Coldharbour Recordings. [5]

Second single "Question of Monogamy" featured a racy video—which included the openly gay [6] Nozari in a steamy shower with two other men—causing a controversy at MTV's LOGO channel. [1] But it went on to be a Number One video on the channel and named the network's "Ultimate Sexiest Video." [1]

The third single was Nozari's biggest commercial and chart success to date. "Rewind" landed on the Billboard Dance Club Play Chart, hitting the Top 20 in October 2008, [1] peaking at Number 18 (Billboard Magazine issue Vol. 120, Issue 40 on Oct 4, 2008). The song featured remixes by Jody den Broeder, The Wideboys and Nozari himself. [7]
