Gnarls Barkley, the multi- Grammy-winning duo of CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse, today released their new single, “Pictures”. The track, produced by Danger Mouse and co-written by Danger Mouse and CeeLo, is their first new music in eighteen years and highlights the unmistakable chemistry between CeeLo’s soaring, gospel-inflected vocals and Danger Mouse’s lush, intricately layered production. The song previews the long-awaited third and final Gnarls Barkley album, Atlanta due out next week, March 6, 2026 on 10k Projects/Atlantic Records.
Few acts in modern music have matched the impact of Gnarls Barkley. Their debut album the platinum-selling, St. Elsewhere (2006) earned critical acclaim, numerous awards and nominations including Grammys, Brits, MTV and Soul Train, and global success on the strength of the record-shattering yet somewhat accidental hit single “Crazy”, a song that topped charts worldwide and became the first ever to reach No. 1 in the U.K. based solely on digital downloads. “Crazy” was also named the #1 song of the decade by Rolling Stone for 2000-2010 and topped the UK singles chart for 9 weeks consecutively, the first to do that since 1994. Their follow-up, The Odd Couple (2008), further cemented the duo’s impact as boundary-pushing collaborators whose sound blurs the lines between soul, hip-hop, rock, and psychedelia.
Far from a reunion for nostalgia’s sake, Atlanta (where both Green and Danger Mouse are originally from) serves as a capstone to the Gnarls Barkley story. After the whirlwind of St. Elsewhere and The Odd Couple, they had always intended to record a third album. Life and other creative pursuits intervened, but the desire to finish what they started never faded. Last year, the duo reconnected and set aside the time to bring their final chapter to life with CeeLo saying, “‘Pictures’ is like going back to square one, It’s a full circle moment.” He continues, “The spirit of Gnarls Barkley is always self-discovery. The sweet, the sad, and the strange. The universe, the adventure inside of yourself. “
“Pictures” recalls Atlanta’s beloved MARTA public train system — a vivid memory from CeeLo and Danger Mouse's teenage years in the 90s. Of the new single, Green shares, “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. Without fail. I was in 8th 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.”
As an entertainer and businessman with many layers, CeeLo Green cannot be summed up in just one title. He is a five-time Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter-producer, television personality, actor, entrepreneur, pop culture & fashion icon. CeeLo Green first came onto the music scene as a member of the southern hip-hop group Goodie Mob along with Big Gipp, T-Mo and Khujo. Goodie Mob released their 1st album Soul Food in 1995, pioneering them to the top of the emerging Southern rap scene. The Southern Hip Hop group then released two more albums Still Standing (1998) and World Party (1999).
After CeeLo’s success with Goodie Mob, he reinvented himself and formed Gnarls Barkley with Danger Mouse. Following Gnarls Barkley’s success, Green put his time back into his solo career as CeeLo Green and released the 2010 album The Lady Killer, which featured the hit single, “Forget You”.
Hailed by Esquire as one of the “75 most influential people of the 21st century,” Danger Mouse has won six GRAMMYs (22 nominations) and a Golden Globe over the course of more than a dozen gold, platinum and multi-platinum albums and singles. In addition to his work as one of contemporary music’s most significant and versatile producers with the likes of A$AP Rocky, Gorillaz, Adele, Beck, Michael Kiwanuka, U2, and others, Danger Mouse has more than established himself as an artist, composer and songwriter with his own artistic pursuits in collaboration with MF Doom, Black Thought, with James Mercer (as his bandmate in Broken Bells), Karen O, and of course Gnarls Barkley.
