CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse have revived Gnarls Barkley for one final album. Atlanta is set for release on March 6, and the vividly nostalgic lead single ‘Pictures’ marks the duo’s first new music in 18 years. Check it out below.
“Pictures’ draws inspiration from Atlanta’s MARTA public train system. “‘Pictures’ is like going back to square one – it’s a full circle moment,” Green said in a statement. “The song came from a childhood experience. I had a middle school principal who, every Friday, would tell me to go when I would get to school. I was in eighth grade and I would leave school and ride the train alone from 8am until 2:30pm. The hook of the song is literally about being on the train. When you are in transit it’s like a motion picture passing you by – staring out the window of the MARTA train.”
