Cee Lo Green - The Lady Killer

where is the song georgia?

at least i will have the BOH cover on the split with cee lo

On a first listen it was fun to me but the production made it stale sounding. Everything at one level with nothing that interesting. a lot of been there done that.

cee lo sounds great throughout though.

Seriously pure fun.

I probably just need to give it more time. on a first listen it just felt very apparent he made almost every song with a different producer, some songs sounded more raw and honest than others. I think having it recorded more in the vein of Al Green's 2008 lay it down would have been beneficial. Slick as anything modern but had more of a live quality that sounds more natural to me.

$10 for the CD at Best Buy, and it's boasting two extra tracks. I believe I'll purchase that, and see what I get.

Sounded great on Colbert last night, might have to pick this up.

It's like mainlining modern-soul-happiness. And I like it.

Seriously unbelieveable, and I've been a fan since the old Goodie Mob stuff. "Bright Lights, Bigger City" is the kind of song I've been waiting for from him for a while. I think I've only found one song I couldn't get into. Might be a surprise entry for album of the year for me.

Yeah, Bright Lights is a killer track. Love Gun is probably my favorite, though. Love that beat.

Best album of the year. Just tremendous. "Satisfied" is the best song the Temptations never wrote.

'Lo posted on Twitter last night/this morning that he likes STRAY BULLETS better than THE LADY KILLER. Certainly his right to do so, but I'm sure a few label execs were ticked.

There's some damn good stuff on BULLETS, and if any of you in this thread are newer fans, and haven't gotten it yet (free download), you should really check it out.

Oh, I listened to the two extra tracks on the Best Buy version of the CD that I bought. One's pretty forgetful, but the last one is worth a damn. If someone wants to hear it, let me know.

Stray Bullets is a helluva lot of fun. "Night Train" is a killer track.

And yeah, I'll check out that last track, Gray. Thanks!

UPDATE: Just read that the tour will be a double bill with BIG BOI!

"I have long believed that MTV has done more damage to America's young people than any other single institution."

Aaaand done.

In the last ten years, maybe.

Wait--- people can work up outrage over the Grammys?

I finally got to listen to this and I love it, last year was an amazing year for neo-soul, first Janelle Monae and now Cee-Lo Green. His voice really shines on songs like Bodies and Fool For You. The billie jean bass line of Bright Lights, Bigger City is an irrestible groove, it even contains elements of You Only Live Twice. I have to say Bodies and Fool for you are my absolute favorite tracks off this, Bodies is just so atmospheric and Fool For You has a terrific groove, Al Green would most definitely approve.

The best was the last line: And the fifth nominee was a lovely song, "Need You Now," by the country music group Lady Antebellum.

 

And yes, this cd freaking owns, what's the good song from Best Buys version? I got it on Amazon for 5 bucks so I can't complain too much.

Wow, what a whiny, decrepit fuckshit.

 

Love this album. The album showcases Cee Lo's sense of humor, his contemporary soul-influenced sensibilities, and his absolutely phenomenal abilities as a vocalist, and the production is varied and always captivating.

 

I think that Wildflower is neck and neck with Fuck You, personally.

I stopped reading after the first paragraph, and don't really feeling like wasting the energy reading the rest of it. What was his problem with the video having all black people in it?

I'm with you on that one.

 

Looks like someone's upset because they can't say nigger. The "why can't Dr. Laura say it?" paragraph is one of the funniest things I've ever read. I can't tell if it's his wife or pastor who prevents him from saying fuck and/or shit. 

 

The comments are also great, as you can tell no one there has bothered listening to the song, saying stuff like it's part of the "Marxist plot" and shit like that. I didn't know songs about being pissed off at (but still feeling for) your ex were part of the revolutionary conspiracy. I must not have paid attention at the meetings.
