CeeLo Green Remixes Childish Gambino's 'Redbone'
Donald Glover’s infectious “Redbone” gets the remix treatment from CeeLo Green. On Tuesday (May 2), the crooner-MC unleashed his own raunchy version of the Awaken, My Love! single.
“Come on,” he pleads. “Baby, come on over / Just throw some’n on / Don’t worry about your hair or makeup, come home / I’m ’bout to set myself on fire.”
As the steamy track progresses, CeeLo adds: “Pull up on it / Tell me that you want me / It’s so much warmer inside.”
CeeLo’s remix game is on full display this year. His “Redbone” remix follows February’s hilarious “Jay Z’s Girl,” a modern take on Rick Springfield’s “Jessie’s Girl,” inspired by Beyoncé. That song and December’s “F*ck Me I’m Famous” were both credited to Green’s new alter ego, Gnarly Davidson.
This Saturday (May 6), CeeLo and his Goodie Mob family will be at the Birmingham Funkfest in Alabama. The event’s bill also includes Erykah Badu, Babyface, Joe, and Juvenile.
