Cee-Lo Green - Georgia
Producer: Cee-Lo Green
Album: The Lady Killer
Label: Elektra/RRP
I’m sorry, but as a long, long time Cee-Lo Green supporter (shout out to Goodie Mob) I have to start this intro with a plea: please, please start rapping again Cee-Lo. The mic misses you, come back. Still, unlike Mos Def from 2004-2009, Cee-Lo’s forays into other genres have been nothing but dope, including his new single Georgia. Conceptually Georgia is everything we’d expect from the constantly creative Mr. Green as he cleverly conflates his actual mother and his native state, while musically Georgia paces the track with a retro, big-band feel that Cee-Lo uses to unleash one of the better vocal performances we’ve ever heard from the man. Seriously, when the horns kick in on the chorus and Lo sustains that high note? I almost wet my pants I was so excited. (Hey, I said “almost.”) Looks like GA has a new anthem. Will Cee-Lo’s upcoming album The Lady Killer feature any rhyming? We’ll have to wait until…whenever the as-yet unscheduled album finally drops to find out.

this is a classic...not in the terms of a hip hop head's classic, but this is classic music in general. Very reminiscent of Ray Charles which is a great thing

Cee-Lo might be an emcee at hear, but his true artistry has been on display these past four years. Anyone can rap these days (go to YouTube if you don't believe me), but only real artists can do what Mr. Green shows us here.
I'm looking forward the him killing the lady.

As I wrote in the intro, I wasn't quite sure what to make of this track until the chorus kicked in, at which point I immediately I decided I loved it. I'd put this up their with Ray Charles "Georgia on My Mind" and Luda's "Georgia" (which samples Ray) and the best songs about GA ever, although as a non-Georgia native I don't really have a right to say that. Anyone from GA want to chime in?

Love hearing Cee-Lo's voice. Its just unique. Liked his stuff with Gnarls Barkley. Crazy was a hit. The production on this is nice, just nice to listen to when you're relaxing.

3 1/2...its different. But thats always been Cee-Lo. I agree I miss him rapping but he is comfortable where he is at right now. Plus you got to love the retro sound to the track...I have to push this to 4 stars on reconsideration.

SMH. How does this only have 9 rates? Dude sings his ass off paying homage to what many, including myself, consider the mecca of creativity in today's music industry.

Luda's 'Georgie' a classic to me. This is unique but not my cup of tea in hip-hop.

Cee-Lo is so talented. I love is style. This is just great music to listen to. Its great to hear people that really "create" when they make music, and don't just throw something together. Cee-Lo puts something special in each song I hear from him. Completely unique. Can't wait for the album.

I love Cee-Lo’s voice and his ability to come up with multi genre songs. His pitch range works perfectly with the brass instrumentals.

A soul classic, this sound ironically is what gave birth to hip hop. The real founders of hip hop were people like james brown, ray charles. So if people dont like it well guess what? you wouldnt have people like Tupac without this comming before them.
