Cee Lo Green
Inspired by the network success of the obscene hit, the musicians decided to shoot a video for this song. Considering the theme of the song, semi-biographical for the musician himself and dedicated to his former passion and her new boyfriend, with abundant use of profanity, you could expect anything from the video - but the result was still surprising. The video was filmed in the spirit of the distant 50s, came out cute and even a little "fluffy", so much so that the word "f * ck" sounds completely different against its background, a little home-like, and if you replace it with the sound of squeaking, then the clip can easily be classified as a family video.
After such a resounding success, Cee-Lo Green decided to release his debut album "The Lady Killer" one month ahead of the previously announced date - in November 2010. At the same time, the musician noted that the text of the song "Fuck You" was corrected to be more correct for censorship, and the updated song is called "Forget You". The new version of the song became a hit number 1 in many countries, while the original song can now be listened to on the Internet.
Interestingly, Cee-Lo Green's musical activity began in the nineties of the last century, when he became a member of a rather famous hip-hop formation called Goodie Mob. Having gained some experience, the guy decided to go "aside" and recorded a couple of solo albums, none of which was particularly noted. Apparently, the moment has not yet come, the artist decided and continued to participate in various projects, including the very successful duet Gnarles Barkley with DJ Danger Mouse. His first album "St. Elsewhere ”Gnarls Barkley released in 2006, it immediately became very popular and became commercially successful. The single "Crazy" was even nominated for the 49th Grammy Awards. Cee-Lo Green was the creative half of the duo Gnarls Barkley and even then, according to many critics, became one of the best voices of our time.
The record "The Lady Killer" Cee-Lo Green released when he was already thirty-six years old. In hip-hop, real stars by this time already have time to experience the sweet moments of truly universal glory. Convinced that his fame and popularity stubbornly ignored him, Cee-Lo Green was honest with the audience, presenting this disc. He immediately said that his task was to release a commercially successful disc, and ideology, reverence for traditions and other similar things amicably faded into the background. Indeed, once addicted to pure rap, Cee-Lo Green resolutely moved away from recitative, taking up, in fact, singing. The Lady Killer is a nostalgic soul record that will delight both young and old alike. Cee-Lo Green's voice is good enough to make a memorable number out of a song with a melody that is not the brightest. There aren't many really big hits here, but the record is strong in the overall impression it makes. "The Lady Killer" could be the beginning of a new stage in Cee-Lo Green's as yet not very bright solo career.
