CeeLo Green has released a new single titled ‘Robin Williams’ exploring comedy’s tragedy. The Gnarls Barkley singer has also announced his first full-length album in almost 5 years HEART BLANCHE.
‘Robin Williams’ is a homage to our humanity,’ says CeeLo, ‘centered around the strength it takes to smile in the face of adversity.’ The single has been released with a music video directed by Vania Heymann.
Set for release on November 13th on Atlantic Records, HEART BLANCHE is the follow up to smash hit album The Lady Killer. The 2010 release featured 2 GRAMMY Award winning singles, ‘Fool For You (Feat. Melanie Fiona)’ and the 5x RIAA platinum certified international sensation, ‘F**k You’ co-written with Bruno Mars.
Green, 40, has endured a turbulent year since rape allegations surfaced last summer which was exacerbated by the singer’s controversial social media comments. The backlash to the news damaged Green’s reputation and career with a collaboration with Ella Eyre being pulled to avoid negative association with the ‘Crazy’ star.
