Hey music lovers, have you heard the news? Gnarls Barkley is back after a massive 18-year break, and they're making waves with their brand-new single, “Pictures”. This epic track is giving us serious nostalgic vibes as it sets the stage for their much-anticipated album, Atlanta, set to drop on March 6. Mark your calendars because this release from CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse is their last hurrah under the Gnarls Barkley name!
These music maestros, known for their iconic albums St. Elsewhere and The Odd Couple, are finally delivering the long-promised third album. They recently reunited and decided to create new magic for their fans.
Now, what's the deal with “Pictures”? According to Green, it's like jumping into a time machine, right back to where it all began! The spirit of Gnarls Barkley has always been about self-discovery, capturing everything sweet, sad, and strange. So, when you listen to “Pictures”, expect an adventure of self-reflection!
And here's the cool part—it was inspired by Green's memories of Atlanta’s MARTA train system from the '90s. Can you imagine skipping school in 8th grade, just to ride the MARTA train all day long? This song draws you into that younger version of Green's world, watching life unfold through the train window. Pure cinematic magic!
Since parting ways, Green and Danger Mouse rocked their solo careers—Green dropped CeeLo Green is Thomas Calloway while Danger Mouse went all out collaborating with the likes of Black Thought and Karen O.
Fans have been eagerly waiting for this comeback. Green once hinted at a Gnarls Barkley return over a decade ago, and even he was surprised by the buzzing anticipation. Well, the moment has arrived, and it's clear folks can’t wait to dive into the unique world of Gnarls Barkley one last time!
