POP MUSIC

Ne-Yo The young R&B crooner and songwriter had a corker of a new, dance-infused album in “Libra Scale,” one that broadened the sonic possibilities of his expert but more traditional early work. At live shows though, his nimble dancing is the focal point. Nokia Theatre, 777 Chick Hearn Court, L.A.. 8 p.m. $49.50-$129.50. (213) 763-6000.
