Cee Lo Green- Lady Killer (album review/ online listening party by Dj Smoke1))
Finally after playing the ish outta his single “Fuck You” I got my hands on the highly anticipated 3rd solo studio album by Cee Lo Green which drops November 9th, 2010 and you know I had to send it to our Dj Smoke1 to mix up for your listening pleasure.
Listening to the whole album it’s almost hard to believe this was recorded in 2010 because it has a very soulful Motown vintage feel from the many ways Cee Lo sings to the production arrangements that back his vocals. I sent the album over to my boy Shawn Harrison of the hit tv show Family Matters to get his thoughts on it and he even liked the album which is a pretty good compliment being that he’s not a Cee Lo fan and pretty much hate’s most the artist I love. lol My favorite song by far on the album aside from the hit single “Fuck You” has to be #10 “Fool For You.” The beat has a dope Earth Wind and Fire funk sound about it and Cee Lo’s singing style in this one is nuts the way he transitions from an in your face head sway style to convince everyone why he’s a fool for the woman he’s singing about to the smooth out crooner style when the hook comes to my favorite part via the way he sings the “YOU!” parts. This one has definitely been on repeat. Something I noticed that the version of #8 I Want You is totally different then the one I featured awhile ago. All the lyrics are the same he just sings them way different more at a slower tempo and the production to match. I def like the other version a lot better. Also his rendition of Georgia didn’t make the album that I featured here as well which makes no sense to me because that single is dope and totally reps the place where he comes from. Oh well you can download them both at that “here” and add them to the album when you purchase it.
I highly suggest picking this album up on the 9th if you want some “instant vintage” and to hear Cee Lo in a way and style like you’ve never really heard. Dude is mad talented and has come a long way since his hip hop group Goodie Mob.

I hate the Artists you love for good reason. Them fools can’t sing. I’m gonna help you develop your ear.
For once, I’m going to agree with you about music and say Cee-lo’s album is solid. I’d be more inclined to give it a 3 rating. One thing is certain, Cee-lo is not just a singer, he’s an Artist. I may not like all of his work but I respect that he puts time into crafting his own style and not singing the same ol’ same ol’ stuff like other singers. My jam is “No One’s Gonna Love You.” Thanks for forcing me to listen ’cause lawd knows I would have overlooked the album had it not been for you.
I am greatful to have found this website; I have been trying to find this version of “fool for you” for a week. I know….I know my neighbor is sick of hearing Cee-Lo and Melanie but I don’t care this is my ish at the moment…I love it!!!
Glad we had what you needed. Thanks for visiting.
