{"product_id":"gnarls-barkley-the-odd-couple","title":"Gnarls Barkley - The Odd Couple","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith it's cinematic origins The Odd Couple is the natural title for the second album by a pair who seem to spend as much time in wardrobe as the studio and whose recordings are often compared to film scores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir greatest hit, 2006's \"Crazy\" was even built around a chunk of a spaghetti western soundtrack. Yet after the success of 2006's excellent St Elsewhere, the collaboration of singer Thomas \"Cee-Lo Green\" Callaway and producer Brian \"Danger Mouse\" Burton has become a permanent institution. Two years on, The Odd Couple stands up proudly alongside it's predecessor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basic recipe hasn't been drastically altered-Danger Mouse's skittering beats and snap-crackle-pop production still provide the perfect platform for Cee-Lo's mighty, soulful wail. If anything, the pair have refined and sharpened their approach to a razor's edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key is the way the musical flavors intersect: the Arthur Lee-meetsN.E.R.D. stroll of \"Surprise,\" the jubilant jumble of gospel\/soul\/synthpop on \"Going On,\" the Otis Redding-shares-a-treadmill-with-Outkast feel of the single \"Run (I'm a Natural Disaster).\" The cumulative effect is one of a group whose trick-bag has a never-ending supply of happy surprises.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51387658273073,"sku":"617308071917","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/4415698-3384986.jpg?v=1747779103","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/gnarls-barkley-the-odd-couple","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
