The Odd Couple by Gnarls Barkley

The Odd Couple, Gnarls Barkley's second album, was meant to arrive on April 8, 2008, but a leak on the internet in early March pushed CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse to rush it out: digitally on March 18 through the iTunes Store and Amazon MP3, then in stores a week later, on Atlantic and Downtown. Following up St. Elsewhere and the monster that was "Crazy" was never going to be easy, and they don't try to repeat it.

Danger Mouse produced, stitching soul, hip-hop soul and alternative rock into something darker and more haunted than the debut, while CeeLo sings with that big, aching voice over the top. "Going On" is the buoyant exception. Critics were warm again, the album was nominated for Grammys for Best Alternative Music Album and for Danger Mouse as Producer of the Year, and it had sold 250,000 copies in the United States by October 2010. The duo went quiet until Atlanta, their third and final album, in 2026.
