{"product_id":"cee-lo-cee-lo-green-is-the-soul-machine","title":"CEE-LO GREEN IS THE SOUL MACHINE","description":"This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.\nPersonnel includes: Cee-Lo, Pharrell, Jazze Pha, T.I., Ludacris, Big Rube, G-Rock, Timbaland, Menta Malone (rap vocals).\nProducers include: Traxx, The Neptunes, Thomas Callaway, Timabaland, Jazze Pha.\nRecorded at Darp Studios and Stankonia Recording, Atlanta, Georgia; Eagle Sound Studios, Doraville, Georgia; Hovecraft Recording Studios, Virginia Beach, Virginia; Criteria-Hit Factory, Miami, Florida.\nA hip-hop artist perpetually swerving from a high-pitched rap style entirely his own to a sultry croon just to the left of Al Green, Cee-Lo layers incredibly original poetry over mesmerizing beats of all strains. Formerly a member of Atlanta's grossly under-appreciated Goodie Mob, Cee-Lo revealed the depth of his talent in 2002 with the glorious, complex, and aptly titled CEE-LO GREEN \u0026amp; HIS PERFECT IMPERFECTIONS.\nCEE-LO GREEN...IS THE SOUL MACHINE retains the wonderful unpredictability of its predecessor, but it finds a stronger sense of focus within such an eclectic range. He opens Gil Scott-Heronesque \"Sometimes\" with the easy observation \"ya know, sometimes I wanna rap, sometimes I wanna sing,\" a Zen-like reflection that sums up Cee-Lo's intriguing contradictions. On other tracks, he can cruise along in a Sly \u0026amp; the Family Stone style on \"My Kind of People\" or flow on the socially conscious yet Dirty South-like \"Scrap Metal\" or even rail against the music industry on the country-tinged \"Die Trying.\" Cee-Lo's brain clearly races along from idea to idea at speeds well exceeding normal limits, but he has found a way to rein it in for a fantastic, prismatic album--at one angle an avant-garde experiment, and at another a funky pop record.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: R\u0026amp;B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 03\/02\/2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cee-lo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44582337904873,"sku":"NRJXNR-HJUF-00","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/cee-lo-cee-lo-green-is-the-soul-machine_8fXss.jpg?v=1758892668","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/cee-lo-cee-lo-green-is-the-soul-machine","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
