Aural: Crazy Gnarls

Gnarls Barkley
Crazy

So much has been said of the collaboration between Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo and the resultant product from Gnarls Barkley.

First single, Crazy, was leaked a whole 6 months before the album was released. The result is an instant internet frenzy over the song. Infectiously catchy and unquestionably soulful, Crazy is undoubtedly one of the year's best singles alongside Thom Yorke's Harrowdown Hill. Right from the moment Cee-Lo sings "I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind," Cee-Lo's pristine vocals fired the song to great heights.

It's one of the times when a collaboraton between two different artites that bears fruit this good. (A)
