Cee-Lo Green - Bright Lights, Bigger City
Artist: Cee-Lo Green
Producer: Ben Allen
Album: The Lady Killer
Label: Elektra/RRP
I’d be lying if I said I’d had my fill of new Cee-Lo Green material; lately the man’s been pushing out more singles than a stripper on a Friday night, but I’ve been digging them all. While I side with my bossman Nathan on the sadness that Mr. Callaway has yet to return to the grittier region of hip-hop (Google Big Ole Words and you’ll understand), I don’t mind when something like Bright Lights, Bigger City drops into my lap. While this is cut is blatantly directed towards radio and club spins, Cee-Lo maintains his clever eccentricity and delivers some retro pop-funk on a uptempo song that would be dismissed if performed by almost anyone else. The phantom production keeps up with Green’s adventurous vocal style and ensures that listeners will undoubtedly be interested in the next release from the eclectic ATLien. The only question left remaining is when
if we’ll hear some rap lines uttered from the man. If you enjoyed this dance floor anthem, be sure to keep a lookout for his latest album, The Lady Killer, dropping November 9.
This song first appeared on the
R&B / Pop Chart
on November 1, 2010

Cee-Lo is about to drop the album of the year. Seriously, wait for it to happen.
Records like "Bright Lights, Bigger City" are the reason why pop music and Top 40 radio are consumed by the masses - you cannot get enough.

November 9 may excite me just as much as November 22 at this point (Kanye), I am in high anticipation for a classic album unlike ANYTHING out there right now! Cee-Lo is coming out of nowhere with these epic monster records and I couldn't be happier.

I love me a bit of Cee-Lo Green, he has such a good voice. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest if he never raps again.

I keep waiting for Cee-Lo to go too far, but time and time again he proves that, whether it's retro-disco, '60s soul or experimental rock, people will listen to any kind of music, as long as he's writing it. Stop fronting "thugs", you know you want to dance to this.

Incredible, Cee-Lo is a genius for this one. Z might be on to something, especially with all of the recent dopeness dropped by Mr. Green.

He's a true versatile artist. His album will contain so many genres, I won't be too surprised if he drops a rap track soon.
