Cee-Lo promises new Gnarls Barkley CD by Christmas and reunites with Goodie Mob

Cee-Lo with cool shadesCee-Lo Green recently spoke about his upcoming projects including a new Gnarls Barkley record and a comeback album with former group Goodie Mob.

In a recent interview with Billboard, he confirmed that he has re-united with Goodie Mob for a new CD. They broke up after 1999’s World Party.

Cee-Lo is also working on Gnarls Barkley’s sophomore album with Danger Mouse which is due for release in December. Cee-Lo told Billboard that the duo will not market or promote the project like they did with their debut album, St. Elsewhere. The duo will also not be embarking on a tour to support the album.

“Gnarls is something we want to salvage. It’s not to be exploited or auctioned off to the highest bidder,” Cee-Lo explained. “It will be revered and sought after. Somebody from my generation has to be the Dylan and Tom Waits – these iconic figures who never exploit themselves or stretch themselves too thin.”

Cee-Lo started his music career in his church. He’s delved artistically into drawing, dancing, DJing, and fashion throughout his life, not wanting to be narrowly defined as an artist. He also announced that he has been working on his third solo album. No release date has been set.
