the infamous "run" video by gnarls. don't get a seizure now :)

I have been thinking about this, only because I am reading the Twilight books and watching a lot of Battlestar and everything seems obsessed with souls and i am not convinced I have one, however, if I do, the I am sure that Gnarls Barkley is gonna save it. i am possibly being a bit late to jumping on the bandwagon with this. The release of their debut album St Elsewhere in 2006 was a major success. The single, Crazy, made history by being the first single to reach number ... MORE

Over the 4th of July weekend, Gnarls Barkley performed at the Roskilde Music Festival.  The duo played plenty of their new joints and classics, as well as a cover of Radiohead's "Reckoner."  Cee-Lo's voice is just high-timbre enough to pull it off too, check out this video from the scene:  

I expected many things tonight as I made my way into Atlanta to catch Gnarls Barkley at the Variety Playhouse. I expected a spaceman costume or two, maybe a bunny suit, or even an impromptu wedding ceremony where Cee-Lo plays the role of the blushing, heavily-tattooed bride - all with a hip-hop/R&B-edged soundtrack to go along with it. Fair enough, right? Out of all possible expectations, though, the one that came through in the end is the one I never saw coming: Gnarls B... MORE

After my first viewing of this video, I won't even pretend I know what I just witnessed. The only thing I can tell you without question is it won't give you seizures like the clip for "Run".

But seriously it doesn't really matter about the video - whethere or not it was there to represent the song, cause thats just one vision out of many people - and to tell you the truth, i rather enjoyed it... Oh how they make me want to move. "The Odd Couple" might be one of the better albums but i might have to argue with myself because as cretive as it was, the "St. Elsewhere" album was just as entertaining and consistant with their sound, and apparently - unless i just ...

Just an update to my previous post:  Now that the video is more widely available on the web, I found one I can embed here for everyone to watch.  And you really should watch this, Gnarls Barkley get mad creative with the videos and this one is like a mini-movie about heartbreak!   Gnarls Barkley - "Who's Gonna Save My Soul?":   The video was directed by Chris Milk, the tune is off The Odd Couple, out now.

Rating:6.5 out of 10The Good: A short, fun, fast paced album that easily sucks you in.The Bad: "Open Book" ... wow.. horrible song.Download These: "Going On", "Surprise", "Run"
I've been a big fan of Cee-lo from his work with Tha Goodie Mob, to the collaborative Dungeon Family albums, and his two solo albums that were released early this decade. He's a criminally underrated lyricist and one of the few hip hop artists who can truly pair rapping and singing in the same song.... MORE
