Cee-Lo is best known by hipsters these days as the vocal half o Justin Nozuka Justin Nozuka is a name that you will be hearing a lot in the coming months. A Canadian of Japanese and American descent who’s still just 19 years old, he comes across as a bizarre blend of Michael Jackson and Jeff Buckley...in a good way. His set at Tatou was a stunner, and certainly a harbinger of great things to come. Nozuka has a gift of being sensitive without cloying, pleading without whining.

On August 11, Atlanta hosted a combo of musicians who are not only reshaping the city's increasingly diverse music scene, but dismantling preconceptions of popular music as a whole. Gnarls Barkley returned home for a sold-out crowd at Variety Playhouse and, on the eve of her national debut on Bad Boy Records (a extended version of the Metropolis: Suite I she's been selling independently), Janelle Monae teed them up. ... read more
