Cee-Lo has covered one of our all time favorite songs, “No One’s Gonna Love you” by Band of Horses. The Gnarles Barkley singer is going solo with his upcoming album, Cee-Lo Green Is the Lady Killer, and this is our first listen to the mix of soul singing and electro pop. Shunning Band of Horses’ quiet alt country emotion for a more grandiose, synth-injected arrangement, the song holds up nearly as well as the original. In the video, a couple goes on a sort of rambling road trip adventure, and we see their relationship morph through a series of quick jumps of convertibles, cliff-jumping, nudity and American flags—somehow very suitable for this Fourth of July weekend. Watch and listen below.
