The Viewfinder: Cee-Lo Green’s “Cry Baby”

Cee-Lo Green is so bad ass, he can make a dope video and not even be in it!! “Cry Baby” is the latest single from the rotund soul man’s album The Lady Killer. The video for the sprightly tune (I think this may be the first time I have ever used the word “sprightly” in a sentence) marks the return of Jaleel White, who just about everyone in the world knows as Steve Urkel on the hit ’90s TV show […]

The Viewfinder-Cee Lo Green Wants You

I’ve got to give props to team Cee-Lo Green. They have been trying their damndest to give the man some recognition beyond the “Fuck You” song. Unfortunately, although The Lady Killer is an excellent album (and “FU” isn’t even the best-or second best-song on it), the shadow of that song looms so large that it’s been a serious struggle getting anything else noticed.

Of Montreal, False Priest (Polyvinyl) Crazy, crazy shit. Of Montreal’s latest album sounds like “Sign o’ the Times”-era Prince meeting Frank Zappa in a dark alley and taking lots and lots (and lots) of drugs. With assistance from left-leaning R&B vocalists like Solange and Janelle Monae, the indie-rock collective made 2010’s most delightfully eclectic album. […]

Spin Cycle: Cee-Lo’s “The Lady Killer”

Talk about unsung. For fifteen years, Cee-Lo has stood on the precipice of stardom, and he’s actually gotten there a time or two. Still, the guy’s nowhere as appreciated as he should be. He’s a great songwriter (do you know he wrote “Don’t ‘Cha” for The Pussycat Dolls?..OK, maybe that’s not the best example of great songwriting), he’s an intense singer (a throwback to the gospel-influenced vocalists of yore) and to top things off, he’s a top-shelf emcee. With all […]
