Gnarls Barkley Returns After 18 Years with New Single 'Pictures'

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.
