I'm not sure exactly when this mixtape dropped, but Cee-Lo recently let loose a pretty awesome group of tunes called Stray Bullets. It's a sweet selection of signature Cee-Lo soul (particularly once you get past the first track), featuring his voice - a feature which is matched by no other male singer currently in music. His velvety voice is distinctive and enough to carry a song without any effort. I could listen to him sing for hours.
A few tracks stand out on this mix for me, although the whole thing is worth checking out. First up is "You Don't Shock Me Anymore," a tune that recalls - for some reason - the Hello Dolly tune used in Wall-E. It has a similar melody line, which I really dig. The more I listen to this song, though, the more I fall in love with Cee-Lo's voice. Damn if it isn't fine. Here's the Hello Dolly clip I'm thinking of, for reference - not an exact parallel, but for some reason it's ringing bells. And yes, that's Barbra Streisand.
The second tune is a summery, shimmering jam that throws Cee-Lo in with some bubbly pop. It's upbeat and it's pretty brilliant. Love both of these tunes. Cop them here, and then grab the whole mixtape - it's worth some spins.
