Gnarls Barkley Pulls iTunes Surprise
And here I thought I was so cool...
Last night I was sent a sneak preview of the new Gnarls Barkley album, The Odd Couple, which wasn't supposed to hit stores until April 8. I didn't get a chance to hear much, but what I did catch was sublime: Danger Mouse was definitely working that acid go-go vibe, and Cee-Lo sounded reliably like Al Green on a torture rack.
Guess what I just found on iTunes? Yep, the entire album for immediate download. No word if the hard copy of the disc is still scheduled to come out in April. With these guys, you never know.
Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
Was just on iTunes and saw the promo photo for the album on the main page -- Cee-Loo is totally rocking the wedding ensemble he's wearing, complete with dress and veil.
I've been looking forward to this since you sneak-peaked us "Run" a couple of weeks ago. Can't wait to give it a listen.

The physical CD will start hitting stores by the end of the week.
