The New Retro Soul: Our Interview With Larry g(EE)

Last week, we reviewed Larry g(EE)'s debut EP, Weekends, which will be released on December 9th, 2011. Today, we've got an interview with the man behind that awesome album. He sat down with us and talked about his unusual name, Weekends, his musical influences, his live show, and Tony Romo.

Thanks for speaking with us. How's it going today?
Doing great man. Had a great Thanksgiving weekend with family but I'm still recovering from all the food inhaled.

First things first: tell me about your name. I'm assuming it's pronounced Larry G?
Yes.

So what's the deal with the parentheses and the capitalization?
A couple reasons. The G had already been taken with Kenny G. and I wanted to do something that would catch the eye, for better or for worse in regards to reaction. I graduated with a degree in Corporate Communications/PR so I'm always trying to think of ways to stay on top of promoting this project. I guess the g(EE) is a form of branding?

Let's talk about Weekends, your debut EP. What's the reason behind the name?
I choose the title Weekends because a lot of the inspiration behind the songs were based off of random weekend nights in Brooklyn, NY. I spent a summer there in 2010 and started writing what would become this EP Weekends.

CD Review: Larry g(EE), Weekends

At Culture Brats, we get a good deal of music sent our way, which can be placed in three categories:

1. Absolutely dreadful crap.
2. Decent music, definitely worth adding to your library.
3. Music so awesome you have to stop what you're doing and share it with everyone you know.

While most of the music we get falls in the first category, we do a get a fair amount of decent music. But we rarely get any music that belongs in the final category. Larry g(EE)'s incredible music falls under that label. When he sent us his video for "Yo Mama," I fell in love with the song at first listen and forwarded it to half the people I know. And you know what? The rest of the four-track Weekends EP is just as good.

Weekends is chockablock with retro slinky sexy soul and R&B. It's music that makes you want to throw your woman down on the bed. Standout tracks include the aforementioned "Yo Mama;" "Camera Phone," whose "shake it like you're working my camera phone" looks to dislodge Outkast in the pop culture lexicon; and "Game," a great little "I'm through with you" number which happens to be my favorite song on the disc with its staccato horns and awesome backing vocals. And yes, I realize I just called three of the album's four tracks standout. It's that damn good!

Seriously. I can't say enough good things about the disc. Buy it the moment it comes out. Larry g(EE)'s Weekends is music you won't be able to stop singing in your head and will make you wonder why the hell you don't hear him on the radio.

Larry g(EE)'s Weekends will be released on December 9th. Until then, you can download the first single, "Yo Mama," for the price of your email address and zip code.

I don't care if you ignore everything else that comes out of my mouth today, stop what you're doing and give this a spin!

From 2011, here's Larry g(EE) with "Yo Mama."

Enjoy!
