I don’t think anybody on the planet not living under a rock for the last few months could have avoided hearing Gnarls Barkley‘s unbelievably catchy Crazy on the radio. It was the first UK #1 single on download sales alone and is being played not only on the youth orientated BBC Radio 1 and Radio 1xtra, but also on Radio 2 which is more easy listening for the middle aged ;-).
Although the album (Gnarls Barkley is a collaboration between DJ Dangermouse (of Gorillaz and the Grey Album fame), and Cee-lo (of the Goodie MOb – who shows some really sulful vocal talent on the record) doesn’t offer another track as actchy, it is full of a mixture of gospel vocals, hip-hop beats and surprisingly little rap – which I have to say is a good thing in my opinion.

Eitherway, here are a couple of my favourite tracks from the album (and the really artistic Crazy video in ipod format)
Gnarls Barkley – Gone Daddy Gone
Gnarls Barkley – Smiley Faces
