The very excellent soul, hip hop, RnB, funk genius Cee-Lo Green is back on the solo tip and it's sounding sweet as fuck.
After six years of collaborations with Danger Mouse (
Gnarls Barkley), Goodie Mob,
Common, Diddy,
Janelle Monae,
OutKast, T.I. and more, one of America's best singers is bringing that Southern drawl, infectious good stuff to our eardrums. Suffice to say that if we lived in the Northern Hemisphere, 'I Want You' would be our summertime jam.
His album
The Lady Killer is due out some time this year and includes some of the
previously leaked songs with
Jack Splash. Holy yes please. Missed you Cee-Lo.
