CeeLo Green has a new song out for the lovers. It's called "Only You," written by Skylar Grey, and supplemented by the vintage vocals of Ms. Lauriana Mae. "It's about two people on different paths, hoping for the best, hoping that those paths lead to each other," CeeLo explains.

Artists To Watch 2013--The OTLC

When I was a kid..I never could color inside the linesI really tried to color inside the lines because I wanted the picture to be perfect. I just don't know how my kindergarten teacher did it. She was a beast with her coloring. I mean, I could only get it close to perfect. I'm not sure why I could never get it 100%, but maybe it's because I just didn't fit in those lines.--GB 

Welcome to the Outside The Lines Crew (OTLC). The artist profiles featured this month are the Artists to Watch in 2013. Rise and shine. --GB
