Grammy Award winning duo Danger Mouse and Cee Lo Green, together known as Gnarles Barkley, are in the lab cooking up their first album since 2008's "The Odd Couple."
Green revealed the news this week in an interview with DJ Booth.
“We have already started on a new [Gnarls Barkley] album,” he said. “We’re halfway in and we have some overtures from the other projects that may not have stood the test of time, we don’t know yet.”
The singer expects the album to be completed in a week when he and Danger connect again at the “top of the year.”
“That’s pretty much all the time we had to do St. Elsewhere because we were heating up around that time," Green divulged. "We were doing something recreationally.”
Are you looking forward to new music from Gnarles Barkley?

Hip Hop journalist Reggie 'Combat Jack' Ossé has passed away. According to Billboard, he was in his early 50's, although it's been reported that he was 48.
In October 2017, Ossé announced that he had been diagnosed with colon cancer, but was optimistic he could regain his health through "chemo and alternative medicine.”
“Your boy aint going nowhere,” he wrote at the time. “We’re gonna keep doing this. Keep rocking with us.”
Ossé was a Georgetown-educated lawyer, who began to blog about music in 2004. He eventually began hosting the popular podcast. "The Combat Jack Show," in 2010.
"He was known as an attorney, but he had the soul of an artist," Chris Morrow, co-founder and CEO of Loud Speakers Network, which produced Ossé's show told Billboard "Reggie's always been a talker. There's a role for that in law. But it really blossomed when he decided to become a creator."
Our deepest condolences go out to Ossé's family and friends.

On the latest episode of Mass Appeal's “Open Space,” the elegant Remy Ma takes center stage, waxing poetic on a wide range of topics, from the intent behind her viral show of unity among female emcees at this year’s Summer Jam concert, to more tense memories, including the realization that, despite all her success, she’d spent most of her adult life behind bars.
“The whole beef thing was still lingering around and everybody was like, Yo you gotta go up there and kill shorty,” Remy recalls about her Summer Jam set, during which she brought out several guest performers during a 22-minute set, including Queen Latifah, Eve, Cardi B and MC Lyte, as a show of unity among the women in rap. “It’s easy to tear something down, that’s the easy part. It’s harder to build something. And that’s what I wanted to do. This is the most that female rap has been talked about in years. What can I do, so that it resonates? Not just for right now, but after Summer Jam.”
It wasn’t easy pulling that together. “Everybody told me I couldn’t do it,” she says. “Because women are ‘catty.’ This one doesn’t like this one, this one doesn’t like that one. I used up my whole budget, and I started making phone calls.”
Elsewhere, Remy’s tone turns solemn as she describes a time of her life that’s thankfully behind her—the 'Seven Winters and Six Summers' she spent behind bars.
“I was getting one visit, two phone calls and three showers a week,” she says. “And, that’s true. That was my life for a long period of time. One visit, two calls, three showers. And as a woman, that is horrible. It was very degrading…”

Floyd Mayweather is currently in talks with UFC President Dana White about fighting in the octagon.
"We're talking to Floyd about doing a UFC deal," White told ESPN. "It's real. He was talking about [boxing] Conor McGregor. Was that real? Have you heard Floyd talk about many things that aren't real? He usually tips his hand when he's in the media, and then that shit ends up happening. We're interested in doing something with Floyd. Everything is a realistic possibility. Mayweather vs. McGregor fucking happened. Anything is possible."
Earlier this month Floyd took to Instagram Live to talk about the chances of a UFC accord.
"They just called me not too long ago and asked me to come back," he said on December 11. "I can come right back. If I wanted to I could come right back to the UFC. I can go fight in the Octagon. I can go do a three or four-fight deal in the Octagon and make a billion dollars. Remember, I'm Floyd 'Money' Mayweather."
Floyd is 50-0 as a professional boxer. He has never fought in MMA before. Who would you like to see him matched up against if he makes the transition?
