"Beautiful Monster"'s original cover art was revealed online on May 21, 2010, which was a close-up of Ne-Yo's profile with a mysterious woman lurking in a forest in the background.

[5] "Beautiful Monster" is an uptempo pop and dance song, containing electropop, new rave, house and Eurodisco influences,[6][7][8] featuring Ne-Yo's vocals over "strobing dancefloor beats.

[8] The song has been compared to the sound of Michael Jackson, specifically Ne-Yo's "backing vocals and audible breath intake" according to Bill Lamb of About.com.

"[11] August Brown of the Los Angeles Times complimented the song, calling it Ne-Yo's "most evocative effort", adding that "no male pop singer short of T-Pain can stack harmonies better right now, and when he peels off those runs of 'I don't mind' after the choruses".

[8] However Brown commented that, "Ne-Yo is better at writing dark edges into songs than performing them himself; he's just too put-together to truly do the freakily possessed lover act.

These powers were demonstrated in the music video for "One in a Million" where he levitates a rose to a woman to court her and stops a moving taxi to keep her from ignoring him.

After throwing a car and causing an explosion, Ne-Yo encounters two men with long dreadlocks and white suits that drop from the sky to fight him.

Some of these clubbers start dancing (all with the glowing white eye) and send Ne-Yo into another room where the "Beautiful Monster" waited.

For the rest of the video, Ne-Yo has his hat over his right eye and dances with other people in white suits, showing that the "Beautiful Monster" had won and he was now hers.

The first music video in the series is "Champagne Life" which shows Ne-Yo to be a part of a crime-fighting group enjoying money, women and fame.
