Cee Lo Green - The Lady Killer

Cee Lo Green's 2010 R&B throwback album

Harkening back to classic soul from Stax and Motown

First time released on LP! Hot pink vinyl edition!

Comes with inner sleeve featuring lyrics

Though the lyrics to its big hit, "F**k You," were decidedly NOT something you would hear on a classic soul record, in many ways Cee Lo Green's 2010 album The Lady Killer was something of a love letter to old school R&B, complete with strings, horns, and a meaty bottom end. And Green's flawless yet impassioned vocals proved him a worthy successor to such legends as Gaye, Mayfield, and Redding.

But perhaps the biggest miracle about this record was that, despite having a half dozen producers, The Lady Killer remained unmistakably 100% Cee Lo Green, larger than life and with its heart on its sleeve. For its vinyl debut (that's right, this Top Ten record never came out on LP), Real Gone Music is pressing it up on hot pink wax and including an inner sleeve with lyrics. One of the 21st century's essential soul albums, now on vinyl where it belongs!
