Cee-Lo
Green holds certain truths to be self-evident. That music has
the power strike that, the obligation to enlighten, entertain,
educate and elevate. That music can liberate and celebrate
humanity. That music rules the world. Those truths and the
undulating messages that Cee-Lo imparts are loud and soulful on
his sophomore solo manifesto Cee-Lo Green Is The Soul Machine.
Says Cee-Lo, "My contribution always has integrity and
substance. There's always soul and the machine is my efficiency
to deliver it without it becoming product. Soul is the
connection between us all, all music is derivative of soul, so..
I do soul music. This isn't throw back soul. It's my soul. I am
compelled by the same spirit as our elders, I am raw black soul
and I just can?t help myself. "Featuring songs written and
produced by Cee-Lo, sonic contributions from the Neptunes,
Timbaland, Premier and Jazze Pha and appearances by Pharell, TI,
and Ludacris, Cee-Lo Green Is The Soul Machine is a musical
journey that knows no boundaries, and gleefully pushes the
parameters of hip hop and R&B. "I'm always seeking an
advancement of not only hip-hop but music. Period. I do feel
like I am making a big picture type of contribution. I'm off the
beaten path and I consider this album to be a continuation of a
grand individual statement." Like 2002's critically acclaimed
Cee-Lo Green and his Perfect Imperfections, which garnered a
Grammy Nomination, Cee-Lo Green Is The Soul Machine is a kinetic
kaleidoscope of influences; tailored to impart wisdom to the
widest possible number of potential acolytes. "In case anybody
got the message of the last album misconstrued I am here to
confirm that I am relatable." Cee-Lo declares.
