For reasons that I don't fully understand all of my friends were extremely surprised to hear that I listen to Cee Lo Green. Cee Lo is a very colorful soul/R&B singer whose earlier work included working as a member of Gnarls Barkley (Crazy). He dabbled in rap and hip hop for awhile but his latest romp was into the wonderful world of R&B with "Lady Killer".
The song "Fuck You" apparently got a ton of radio play- not having a radio and being to lazy to google it I can't personally say that I noticed but after listening to the song and especially watching the video I can certainly understand why. The songs if full of catchy hooks and beats not to mention it's hilarious anti-gold digger theme. If you go and watch the video you can't help but be entertained by the awesome back up singers as well, highly recommended.
The rest of the album seems to be less popular- but it shouldn't be. It's full of gems such as "I Want You" "Satisfied" and "It's Ok", which I contend matches up with "Fuck You" for pure enjoyment. He also covers a popular "Band of Horses" song at the end of the record called "No One's Gonna Love You" which he handled quite well and in my opinion made the song better.
The point being go out there and get your hands on the entire album. No more of these silly iTunes singles. Listen and love!
