| Cee Lo Green & Mr. Will-W. |
Atlanta native Cee Lo Green né Thomas DeCarlo Callaway, has seen many incarnations already in his career, but now only is he reaping the rewards of his perseverance. Originally a part of the Hip Hop group Goodie Mob, those who have been paying attention have seen him transform into the Lead Vocalist of Duo Gnarls Barkley, which saw some success back in 2006 on both sides of the Atlantic with hit Crazy. To clarify, the Duo has not yet disbanded according to Green and they plan to release more material together. A Goodie Mob reunion album is also in the works. Now in the spotlight on his own, all eyes are on the spirited Vocalist with a voice so remarkable that few needed an introduction when he resurfaced again late Summer, when the likes of Perez Hilton already were claiming infectious single Fuck You! one the year's best.
Green, currently promoting his new album The Lady Killer, released last Tuesday. The album is onto its second single It's OK, similarly feel-good Motown, now after having spawned the aforementioned Viral hit, which of course depending where in the world is known also as F**K You!, FU or more commonly, Forget You. Certifiably a Radio Hit, peaking at number 17 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and even better in other parts, the track and album continue to be lauded by Celebrities and Tastemakers alike. As we all know, the album's first single received the Glee Makeover on last week's episode The Substitute featuring Gwyneth Paltrow. But furthermore, even Glee's Lea Michele and Chuck Actor Zachary Levi have taken to Twitter in praising Green; both cannot stop listening.
