Now, it has almost been 1 year since I tried to hype them;

Now the album will be released on 5/2 (US), 4/24 (UK) with the single Crazy going out on 4/10. Crazy has already garnered quite a bit of hype in England courtesy of Radio One.

Here is a link to their myspace page;

I have heard 8 demo tracks of the 14 from this album and it is going to be hot.

Gnarls update;

Crazy is No. 1 today at Apple's iTunes Music Store U.K., ahead of Orson's "No Tomorrow," which tops the official U.K. singles chart combining physical and download sales.

They're dope. That song Crazy is the business.

It's the bollocks.

Crazy has been my favourite song in the car for a couple of months. It will be huge when its released officially.

Wait until you guys hear *Smiley Faces*. Lo's deliver on that one is off the chain and after multiple spins, I find it even better than Crazy.

Crazy lyrics

Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that phase.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Probably

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control

Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

*Smiley Faces* can now be heard @ the Gnarls Barkley myspace.

After last week, "Crazy" actually became the first single to be number 1 on the UK charts based solely on download sales. Here's BBC news clip of it (http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=623206232&n=2)

Fantastic!

I see that there is a video for the track too. Can't wait to see it.

Thanks for the clip.

I think Cee - Lo sounds good with that kind of production. Cee - Lo and Dangermouse compliment each other well.

Crazy was background music on Greys Anatomy last week.

Here is a link to the video for Crazy.

The ink-blot concept is just perfect.

This album is just wonderful and brilliant in its concept and delivery. Cee Lo delivers a vocal performance that I am not sure anyone else in the current industry could.

Much like Prince delivers only like Prince can.

Danger Mouse's arrangements are just unbelievable as well.

This project will be more interesting than the title with numbers in it.

Those promo pictures

I can confirm without question that the above statement is fact.

Here is a link to the Gnarls performance of Crazy from Top of the Pops yest.

It is a slowed down version, but Lo delivers. Nice to see that there will be a live band.

What happened to the Jazze Pha collab album? Daaaaymn That's the party album right der. I havent heard anything from it. Cool that the Danger Mouse collab is coming out.

Trickology said:

It was supposed to be out if Feb, but I guess it got pushed back because of the Gnarls hype/success.

Lo is also working with Jack Splash of Plantlife to form another group called *Lovestink*. I have heard a single track called *Gangsta Boogie* which sounds extremely funky.

I have always thought Cee-Lo had an amazing voice but this definitely showcases that I was right all along and the people who questioned me that this guy was a real singer can sit the hell down

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

AMEN!

I feel your satisfaction! Haters can can get on board or STFU!

I am very proud of Cee-Lo for doing this type of project. There are more than a few songs on the album other than Crazy that do an even better job of showcasing his vocal skills.

St. Elsewhere
Smiley Faces
The Last Time
On-Line

The album is instant vintage and a breath of fresh air for Hip Hop/Soul/R&B/Pop.

Love this version too! Great vocal on it...

The local independent radio station here in LA is hyping the hell out of this song and album Thank God I have a station that will play and praise real talent

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

There isn't anything like that here in South Florida. Nothing but *Clear Channel* across the board, or so it seems.

I am shocked. This is the first number one single that I've liked in years. I can't get over hearing a real song with real musicality and soul actually doing well on the charts. Let's hope this is a sign of things to come.

whoknows said:

Agreed 100%.

Though I am not sure that the US is ready for it. I am very pleased that the UK recognized a good song.

It is really a breath of fresh air.
