Why you should love Cee-lo…

He can, on one track, reunite Goodie Mob and sample Nick Cave’s “Red Right Hand”. Elsewhere on the free mixtape, he uses a clip of The B-52s. Download Stray Bullets HERE

I remember reading an interview with Goodie Mob back in the day where someone from the group talked about how they wanted to just do an album that sounded like Portishead. That made me love them.

Also worth checking out, the leaked single “Georgia” off his forthcoming album The Lady Killer. I was discussing the track with a friend and he wondered if it was a cover, but it’s not. The song has a particular soul authenticity that makes it nearly perfect. Produced by Tommy Brenneck of the Dap-Kings, it features his side project Menahan Street Band. They’ve been sampled by both Jay-Z (“Roc Boys”, from American Gangster) and Kid Cudi (“Solo Dolo”, from Man on the Moon: The End of Day). Ultimately, a stellar track.
