Even if through animation, people make the world go ’round. Cee Lo Green’s latest single “Sign Of The Times” captures the careful balance that is the world in 2015. Over-top a beat bases on Bob James’ “Taxi” theme (also known as “Angela” to Jazz Heads), this song strikes its own fare through booming vocals, lots of visceral emotion, and Cee’s proven knack for evoking the soul of society, through himself.

With presumably a formal video coming, the Goodie Mob and Gnarls Barkley alum presents a vivid animated companion that seems to be his most grabbing solo material since The Lady Killer.
