Goodie Mob member Cee-Lo and DJ Danger Mouse have teamed up and announced they're releasing an album under the name Gnarls Barkley.
"We are the perfect combination," Cee-Lo stated. "This album is one of the best platforms for me to express all of me. I get to expand my range and hit all categories from Urban, Crossover, Pop and Rock & Roll."
Danger Mouse, who received massive press for mixing Jay-Z's Black Album with The Beatles' White Album to produce the Grey Album, recently produced the Gorillaz album and was named one of GQ's Men of the Year.
His Grey Album was chosen as Album of the Year by Entertainment Weekly and has been the catalyst for his current popularity.
"Danger Mouse's production is so futuristic and my lyrics are used as a vehicle to bring it home," Cee-Lo continued.
Gnarls Barkley snippets are available at www.gnarlsbarkley.com. Cee-Lo's latest album, Cee-Lo Green is the Soul Machine is in stores now.
The rapper has also rejoined veteran group Goodie Mob. The group is preparing a new reunion album featuring all the original members
