New Video: CeeLo Green - For You

When we write about new songs and music videos by CeeLo Green, we often expect a certain style. From Forget You to Gettin Grown, I think of CeeLo's rapid fire rapping/singing. With his new music video for the song For You, we get a very different side of CeeLo Green.

For You is from CeeLo's new album, CeeLo Green is... Thomas Callaway. The song is a great demonstration of the type of style CeeLo explored on the new album. It features a classic, soulful R&B style that you might see more in the 70s or early 80s.

This track is especially endearing. For You is about everlasting love, and a loyal bond shared by a couple. It's slow and CeeLo has no problem embracing the sweet, slow manner of the track.

The video embraces this relaxed, slow love that can be cherished. It largely centers around an older couple who are reaffirming their love for one another. You get the feeling of a couple that has shared a lot together and want to continue experiencing these moments together. Intermixed, the video features flowers and birds, sharing in a bond.

Overall, it's a pleasant song and a relaxing video. Do you enjoy this side of CeeLo Green, or are you more interested in his fast paced punchy songs like his collaboration with Tyrese, Legendary, from earlier this year?
