Primary Wave MusicAfter dealing with legal woes last year, CeeLo Green is back at work on a new album called Heart Blanche.
According to Billboard, the singer’s upcoming effort is nearly complete. “We’re actually in the final stages of completing his album. He’s really been hard at work,” says Atlantic Records CEO Craig Kallman. “We’ve got a big, big list of songs that we’ve been going through, and we’re kind of mixing the final songs now. We’re going to be imminently figuring out his marketing plan and single release schedule, and we’re looking at the fourth quarter [for release].”
CeeLo has teamed with several artists and producers for the project, including Mark Ronson, Charlie Puth, Eg White and John Hill. “It’s arguably the best piece of work he’s ever done,” adds CeeLo’s manager, Larry Mestel of Primary Wave Entertainment. “It’s very rare to find artists these days that focus on an album as a body of work — most albums these days are just collections of songs, but that’s not the case here.”
The follow-up to 2010’s The Lady Killer is slated to arrive later this year.
