Second album ‘The Odd Couple’ follows on April 7th Gnarls Barkley, the chart-topping partnership of artist/producer Danger Mouse and vocalist Cee-Lo, returns in 2008 with the release of the new single ‘Run’ on March 24th.An exhilarating first taste of their eagerly anticipated second album ‘The Odd Couple’ (which follows on April 7th), ‘Run’ finds Gnarls Barkley in peak form. ‘Run’ combines an energetic and innovative Danger Mouse production with Cee-Lo’s ardent gospel vocals to create another single-of-the-year contender.‘The Odd Couple’ takes the playful creativity that distinguished the duo’s debut ‘St. Elsewhere’ and expands the energy, the soul and the psychological complexity. It establishes Gnarls as a pivotal act of the 21st Century.Commencing with the hypnotic ‘Charity Case’, ‘The Odd Couple’ showcases thirteen songs that advance Gnarls Barkley’s vital, unpredictable mission. ‘Who’s Gonna Save My Soul’ mixes melancholy Motown balladry and parched Delta blues. ‘Surprise’ juxtaposes its introspective lyrics with sunny backing vocals and insistent spy jazz. ‘A Little Better’ closes the set with an uplifting expression of gratitude.“It’s just bigger, badder, bolder and more arena-friendly,” comments Cee-Lo. “I know we’re always so modest, but let me toot my own horn. It’s really fucking good.”

Certified Platinum on both sides of the Atlantic, ‘St. Elsewhere’ won two Grammy Awards including Best Alternative Music Album and Best Urban Alternative Song. The phenomenal single ‘Crazy’ became the first single to top the singles chart on download sales alone and went on to remain at #1 for nine weeks. Gnarls Barkley
