CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse have revived their Gnarls Barkley alias for one more album. Atlanta is due out on March 6 on Atlantic-affiliated imprint 10k Projects; a lead single shared today (February 25), “Pictures,” marks the pair’s first new studio release in 18 years. Give it a listen below.
“Pictures” takes its inspiration from the many hours Green spent riding Atlanta’s MARTA public transit system as a kid, he shared in a press statement. “I had a middle school principal who,
every Friday, would tell me to go when I would get to school,” he said in a press statement. “I was in eighth grade and I would leave school and ride the train alone from 8 A.M. until 2:30 P.M.”
Although Green and Danger Mouse haven’t dropped a Gnarls Barkley record since 2008’s The Odd Couple, both have released music solo. Green shared his sixth studio album, CeeLo Green is Thomas Calloway, in 2020; it followed 2015’s Heart Blanche and 2012’s CeeLo’s Magic Moment. He also spent multiple years as a judge on The Voice, and appeared on tracks from Eminem, Tyrese, T.I., and Asher Roth.
Danger Mouse, meanwhile, has spent the past near-decade rolling out collaborative albums with artists including Sparklehorse, Daniele Luppi, and Karen O. Most recently, he shared the record Cheat Codes with Black Thought in 2022; he and MorMor also linked up for a song, “Wonder,” in 2025.
