Cee-Lo

《The Collection (Explicit)》完整收录了Cee-Lo黄金创作期的音乐棱镜。从《Closet Freak》的复古律动到《I Am Selling Soul》的炽烈抒情，这张精选集精准切割了这位格莱美得主在南方嘻哈与摩城灵魂乐之间的艺术平衡点。十八首曲目如同声音标本，凝固了Cee-Lo粗粝声线中蕴含的温柔叙事——那些街头教堂共存的矛盾美学，嬉皮士精神包裹的哲学思考，以及永远带着挑衅意味的浪漫主义。特别收录的未发行Demo呈现出更原始的创作肌理，磁性的人声与爵士管乐碰撞出令人上瘾的化学反应。

Closet Freak: The Best Of Cee-Lo Green The Soul Machine (Explicit)

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Santana、Everlast、Outkast邀约献声，南岸Dirty Rap/Neo-Soul要团Goodie Mob首脑人物、南岸嘻哈传奇组织The Dungeon Family领袖人物首周攻占Billboard专辑榜Top 11，史上最光怪陆离、荒诞绝缪的Psyche Hip-Hop圣经来自亚特兰大的Cee-Lo Green(aka Thomas Burton)隶属南岸Dirty Rap/Neo-Soul要团Goodie Mob，身为首脑人物的他，同时也是近期南岸庞硕集结The Dungeon Family的领袖之一(DF包括Outkast的Big Boi、Goodie Mob的Big Gipp、Organized Noize的Ray Murray和Rico Wade、Earthtone Ⅲ的Big Rube…等)，除了与T-Mo、Khujo、Big Gipp (Goodie Mob成员)发行的《Soul Food》、《Still Standing》、《World Party》之外，Cee-Lo频频被同行如Carlos Santana、Lil' Kim、Black Rob、Big G、Everlast、Outkast、Sleepy's Theme、Society of Soul 等邀约献声，而整个Hip-Hop scene也日日企盼他的个人Solo收藏，《Cee-Lo Green And His Perfect Imperfections》在2002年于是诞生。序曲〈Bad Mutha〉的贝斯带Vocal特效衔接着犹如Breakz般的碎拍，使人对《Cee-Lo Green And His Perfect Imperfections》造成一股电气幻觉，Cee-Lo与曲中女声的俏皮Rappin催逼牙痒感：「You think you bad，you really think you bad。Well I'm bad，I'm bad，I'm bad，and I know I'm bad」，情境塑造得与Michael Jackson的〈Bad〉同样Funky；数度被Hip-Hop乐迷放烂的单曲〈Closet Freak〉无疑为专辑要件，Cee-Lo在该曲中叙述自己的确是个不折不扣的音乐怪胎，然而他却怪得妙，Cee-Lo营造卡通情节的趣味开端，顺势展开一场环游七十年代的嘻闹游戏；〈El Dorado Sunrise(Super Chicken)〉是以Organ架起的严重操腔Tune，解梦一般低吟着：「Can't let nobody hold me down，This is my life and that's my sky，I was born to fly」，无失为一篇启发性的灵魂乐章；在〈Big Ole Words(Damn)〉和〈One For The Road〉中可聆听到较纯正的Hip-Hop，Cee-Lo亦借此声明能够做到众多里头最好的一个；当然，这个双子座的怪胎不乏在〈Spend The Night Iin Your Mind〉将中心的怪格加以解套，就像好友Outkast一样，Cee-Lo总是给予Hip-Hop界不可多得的无双至宝。深受诸多艺人如Jackie Wilson、Al Green、Billy Idol、Marvin Gaye、Sam Cooke、Curtis Mayfield与Def Leppard影响，Cee-Lo的特殊嗓音与犀利词曲创作，一直是许多圈内艺人猎杀之标杆，综合Hip-Hop、Gospel、Rock、Soul的《Cee-Lo Green And His Perfect Imperfections》，绝对是史上最光怪陆离、荒诞绝缪的Psyche Hip-Hop圣经。
