?Fuck You,? the feel-joyously-spiteful hit of summer 2010, should cast a large shadow across Cee Lo Green's third proper solo album. The singer?s biggest solo single to date, it?s the best form of novelty hit -- a side-splitting surface supported with a durable underbelly, combining Millie Jackson-level lyrical frankness with a knockout throwback-soul production. Even without the presence of ?Fuck You,? The Lady Killer would remain a thoroughly engrossing album. Bookended by a recurring spy-film theme, the set is loaded with a potent mix of Green's singular voice -- meaning his graceful bellow and his oddball personality -- and knowing, hefty soul arrangements sheathed in hip-hop vigor, often embellished with strings, horns, and substantive background vocals. As with 2004?s Soul Machine, some of the best songs here share titles with R&B classics. The testimonial ?Wildflower? switches between corny/winking couplets (?Sexy is in season/Share your sunshine with me?) and amusing metaphor play (?Hold her with both my hands/Put her right on my table when I get her home?). The infectiously beaming ?Fool for You,? served with a choppy gait, carries as much pride as Ray Charles' ? A Fool for You.? ?I Want You,? yet another song that punches and swirls, isn?t as straightforward as its title suggests; it?s about pressing the reset button on a dying relationship. The final full song, ?No One?s Gonna Love You,? is a cover -- not of the S.O.S. Band, but Band of Horses. It?s a faithful version that humbly spotlights the versatility of a fascinating talent. Just as importantly, it?s a suitable way to follow ?Old Fashioned,? a tear-the-roof-down ballad drenched in reverb and sweat. [A clean version of the album was also released.] ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
