This is the first video from GB’s second disc, The Odd Couple, due April 8 on Downtown/Atlantic. While “Run” is unlikely to be the paradigm-shifting R&B/pop/hip-hop/whatever sensation that “Crazy” was, it represents a significant refining of Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse’s classic R&B aesthetic — as wonderful as St. Elsewhere was, much of it felt like a scrapbook of ideas. If “Run” is any indication, Gnarls Barkley is moving deeper into the Hollard/Dozier/Holland rules of songwriting, and there’s not a thing wrong with that.
