We got the CD single from Cee-lo Green’s new track called “Fuck You”. Yeah, kinda vulgar, we know. But damn! We dare you not to listen to it and groove your ass off to it! Serious big groovadelic production here that shimmies and shakes it’s way right through you. Better yet, buy it from Uncle Sam’s tomorrow and get a coupon for $2.00 off the new Cee-Lo CD when it comes out on December 7th!

Of Montreal exist in the brain of Kevin Barnes. “False Priest” is the brain child’s latest album. Barnes worked with super producer Jon Brion (Fiona Apple/Kanye West) who has added some definition to the album but didn’t change any of Kevin’s quirky ways. This album sounds like Prince producing a lost Freddie Mercury album. It has 80′s funk electronics with glam guitars and sheen. It also has guest vocals from indie soul queens Janelle Monae and Solange Knowles. They are his Wendy and Lisa, or maybe Vanity. One big improvement is the use of real orchestration and less midi or synth based sounds. I guess that is what I meant by definition in the production. Sometimes keyboard orchestra can sound thin while real instruments make it sound more regal. Another reference would be 10cc. That band had the same kind of massive vocal layers and hooks. I could go on but you need to hear it to decide. Some will cringe while others will scream genius. The best kind of artist in my opinion.-Tony@Thinkindie
