Drum roll, please. America’s most intriguing and addictive collaborations to emerge in the last two years is back. And, just when we thought we had finally got rid of the song “Crazy” from the brain, now we got “Run” to worry about. The track sounds straight out of the swinging ’60s — bearing the same kind of excitement as early James Brown or like the peak song in a great musical. Theatrical as it may be, it’s still contemporary (yet addicting) thanks to Cee-lo’s hefty soul shouts and Danger Mouse forward thinking production style. Gnarls Barkley new album, suitably entitled The Odd Couple, is set for release in April.
