Cee Lo's Lady Killer Bonus Tracks B-sides

For those that are digging Cee Lo's new album, here is a listing of all the bonus tracks and B-sides from the many different versions of the album and singles released world wide.

Red Hot Lover (a dirty/nasty dance number)

Grand Canyon (a beautiful song about looking and finding love)

Please ft. Selah Sue (a duet about love gone wrong, lots of emotion. Selah Sue's voice complements Cee Lo's and adds to the emotion of the song)

Georgia (I'm sure everyone has heard this, Cee Lo's ode to his home state. A true love song)

Everybody Loves You (song about girl that Cee Lo seems to appreciate. Upbeat tune)

Scarlet Fever (song about a girl named Scarlet. Upbeat with a great hook and harmonies)

Fuck You - Le Castle Vania Remix (self explanatory)

I could do with out the Fuck You remix, but the other tracks are essential to complete the Lady Killer/Stray Bullets albums.

Just putting this out there in case some were not aware of these tracks.

Later

Cause tomorrow is taking too long
and yesterday's too far away
and the reality that you believe in begins to bind.

Thanks for those - I also found one called 'Bridges' which is nice - it seemed to be on sale on Amazon MP3's on its own - can't find it anywhere as a B-Side or Bonus track to the album though

Awesome, I did not know about "Bridges". Yet another to add to the list.

This is an amazing amount of music he has released in the past 5 months.

"Red Hot Lover" is my jam! This is what urban dance music should be, IMO, and would have fit nicely on Stray Bullets.

I agree, Scarlet Fever, Red Hot Lover and even Please sound more "Stray Bullets" than "Lady Killer".

Speaking if Red Hot Lover, I hope they extend that jam, it kills me everytime the music fades when the sax kicks in as the groove is just starting to simmer.

It's some of the less-commercial tracks recorded during The Lady Killer sessions.

http://www.guardian.co.uk...-interview

[...]

He has spent three years on The Lady Killer, recording close to 70 songs, reining in the eccentricities of the two predecessors, swapping the emotional evisceration of his Gnarls Barkley material for love songs. And he has opted to work with his label and management to assemble what they collectively believe is the record that will make him a household name, rather than release another album he might have felt better represented every aspect of his creative self.

"I could've said, 'This is the album, take it or leave it,' but I don't think that's the right attitude to have right now," he admits. "For too long I've been underground and underdog, and I need to be seen as the thing to do: 'This is the direction to go in – follow this man.' I think I'm needed – as an artist, as an individual, as an entity, an enigma, an exhibitionist, an entertainer; as an alternative. So we sat down and weighed up the pros and cons, because you don't seal a deal with one single solitary opinion. Tolerance, compromise, understanding, acceptance, patience – I want those all to be very sharp tools in my shed."

The record isn't finished yet (Green postponed a London gig last Monday to complete recording). But he has the follow-up to Fuck You ready and waiting. You Don't Shock Me Any More is a breezy slice of retro soul-pop with a 21st-century attitudinal twist; a pastiche of 70s library and gameshow music with a delicious sax solo by Goodie Mob's Khujo and a knowing lyric that's part love song, part attack on celebrity culture. There's only one problem: it didn't make the committee's cut for the album, so Green has released it, for free, on a mixtape called Stray Bullets.

"No one had anything to do with Stray Bullets but me," he says. "I just needed a moment of clarity to have some fun. It's a completely gratifying, exhilarating act of art. With Lady Killer, I had to take all those other things into consideration, because I wanna be a professional, but the growing pains hurt a bit. I'm not allowed to be as liberal as I would like to be, you know? I'd do a lot more damage if I could! So, I know I shouldn't say this, but I've got to: personally, I like Stray Bullets better. But I hope you don't think I'm insulting Lady Killer – I'm not. They're all still pretty great songs."

Is it me, or does Selah Sue's voice sound like Cee Lo's with a Camille affect going on?

She has a nice sound that fully complements his.
