Artist Biography
Gnarls Barkley is the collaboration between producer Danger Mouse and Goodie Mob rapper-turned-singer Cee-Lo. Their first single, Crazy, which debuted at #1 on the British pop charts on April 2, 2006, is the first #1 UK single to be obtained solely through Internet downloads. The success of the single in the UK was due largely to it's use in a promotional trailer for Radio 1 across all of the BBC TV channels prior to the single's release. 'Crazy' stayed at #1 for almost 9 weeks.
The buzz for "Crazy" helped generate a lot of press coverage of their debut album, St. Elsewhere, which was released on May 9, 2006.
The album is seen as a cross-over between hip-hop, rock and soul. Both artists have previously been known to have a quirky experimental side, moving between different genres of music.
