I think Cee-Lo's next project should be...

I wouldn't say his "not an album artist", IMO both of his previous solo albums worked quite nicely, and his self-produced beats have always been interesting, at the least. But I think on those records he knew his strengths and weaknesses, he was still rapping and didn't try to come across as a "pure singer" or anything. I agree that it's kinda sad if the Gnarls stuff convinced him he should become a latter day Baby Huey or something, because quite clearly that's beyond his capabilities.

"his" = "he's"

Hmm. Opening sounds like Sly Stone on Dick Cavett's show. fwiw
