Cee Lo Green – “Fool For You” f/ Melanie Fiona

Cee-Lo had a big year in 2010 — your mom probably knows the words to “Fuck You” — and is starting 2011 off strong with a new version of Lady Killer highlight “Fool For You.”

This version switches up the guest list dramatically – Melanie Fiona takes the place of Philip Bailey with a voice that matches Cee-Lo’s in terms of its indefatigable butteryness and versatility. The two — a real dynamic duo — trade off verses and lines over a great jazzy beat with plenty of head-nodding horns. Give it a listen and decide for yourself how it compares to the original.

…and here is the original, with Philip Bailey of Eard, Wind & Fire.
