I think it’s pretty safe to say that different styles of music tend to lend themselves better to different emotions. It’s not any sort of rule, just a notion. Western classical music from the 17th and 18th centuries tends to relax us, modern and avant-garde music tends to scare us, metal music tends to fire us up, and rock and hip-hop usually makes us want to get jiggy.
So, when a tune comes along that plays with these tendencies, I can’t help but be a bit excited. Here, Cee Lo Green takes listeners on a very angry journey, but makes you want to dance at the same time… it’s very strange and awesome. Enjoy!
