Cee-Lo Green, The Lady Killer
Elektra
Cee-Lo Green mostly lives up to his billing as The Lady Killer. He imagines himself as a James Bond of love on the kitschy intro, but has none of that character’s world-weary cynicism. This Lady Killer has big emotions, big heart and, most importantly, a big voice. On retro soul showcases like “F*ck You,†“Fool For You†(with Earth, Wind & Fire’s Philip Bailey) and “Wildflower,†he delivers a kind of full-bodied pop performance rarely heard among today’s male singers, with their carefully modulated and often Auto-Tuned voices. The Lady Killer is a pleasure.
