"CeeLo's such a weirdo" I think to myself. Again and again, it comes to mind, with a reluctant smile. He wallows in it, calls out his own penchant for singing // rapping // sing-rapping, sultry and jokey and murder-rapping back to back.
"CeeLo's been given the power, to take you where you wanna go" the chorus of ladies declares. "He can do anything!" they follow.
He sure has, and he sure can. The Soul Machine is totally unbridled, an 18 track braindump meticulously constructed and left unedited outside hands. And CeeLo's such a weirdo. Shades of Andre 3000 is an understatement.
It's an hour long, but it feels longer. Luckily almost everything's catchy: bustling and bursting, and even as it slogs its charming and tuneful, overflowing with tripled up vocals, horn hits, soul guitars, synth buzzes, start-stops, and go go go's, all to make you smile despite yourself 3.5/5
