Cee-Lo Green - (You’re So Square) Baby, I Don’t Care
Artist: Cee-Lo Green
Producer: Cee-Lo Green
Album: Rave On Buddy Holly
Label: Elektra/RRP
Thought Huey Lewis and the News were the first to postulate the hipness of squareness? Think again—songwriters Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller advanced a similar thesis decades earlier on You’re So Square (I Don’t Care), a minor pop standard performed by everyone from Elvis Presley, to Buddy Holly, to… Cee-Lo Green. The F*ck You hitmaker’s rendition of the record, a tribute to Buddy Holly’s hit cover, finds the artist showcasing his prodigious talents both on the mic and behind the boards, serving up a vintage rock ‘n’ roll backdrop for his own throwback vocal stylings. For more modern homages to a rock legend, check out tribute album Rave On Buddy Holly when it hits stores June 28.

As much as I admire Cee-lo's versatility and ability to succeed outside of the box, this one really isn't for me, haha... It's not even well balanced, sounds like screwing around in the studio to me

Music that sets you heart racing... age no bar!
Its amazing how much goodness is packed in just under 1:30 minutes. This is an example of how simple yet timeless songwriting equals songs that will continue to remain in popular music, won't get boring or old no matter how many times one listen to it, and should appeal to anyone with an inclination towards listening good music over worrying about genre of music. Sure I'd like to hear Mr. Green lay it down some dope rhymes on the mic again, but there's absolutely no denying that Cee-Lo Green is a multi-gifted artist who writes, produces and can sing over any instrumental that he sets his mind to. Simply put this cover version right here is the one I'll be enjoying for years to come. |
