Last month…no wait, today is June. So, back at the end of our 4th month, yes April, the wonderful Gilles Peterson debuted a new Cee-Lo Green track. (yep, he’s going by the full moniker pending his "scheduled for late 2010" release, The Lady Killer). I Want You is a summery slice of awesomeness, but it’s an even newer cut that’s got me all sorts of excited to see what the Closet Freak has in store for the full length.
Georgia pays homage to Green’s home state and it’s like he took the best of the dark trippy bits of Gnarls Barkley and smoothed ‘em under his signature tones.
We like this a lot and think you will too.
Mmm…horn sections.
