This has to be the best number one record for quite some time. Flawless in every department: the song, the vocal delivery, the video- ten out of ten all round. The fusion of soul music with modern beats has been done many times- the Black Eyed Peas being one quality example. Cee Lo Green has done something similar here and it works beautifully.
The outfits in the video are stylish and stunning- tastefully kitsch and colouful- and I love the row of backing singers sitting on the counter. Aside from having an effortlessly perfect soul voice (which echoes his namesake Al Green to some extent), Cee Lo Green presents an impressive, confident, charismatic figure. He has been around for a while- known more as a rapper than a singer but his ability in the latter department is beyond question. Very much looking forward to his new album.
