First single from Gnarls Barkley’s second album, Run isn’t a massive departure from the hip-hop/soul fusion of their first album.
But then why mess with success? The Gnarls Barkley sound was a breath of fresh air when they first surfaced and there’s really little to challenge their monopoly on the sound today.
Well, when she’s not busy getting arrested (and resisting said arrest), Kelis can still churn out some fantastic music.
Never in a million years did I think the shouter singer of Caught Out There could do sensitive. But that’s exactly what she manages to achieve with Little Star. It’s a funky soulful collaboration with Cee-Lo. Funny, but the name Cee-Lo meant nothing to me, until I saw the video and recognised him instantly as ‘the big guy from Gnarls Barkley’.
