Multiple Grammy nominee woos multiple women in fun, stylized clip. By Gil Kaufman Cee Lo Green Photo: Jeff Kravitz/ Filmmagic Though it was filmed before he found out that he was a multiple Grammy nominee on Wednesday night, Cee Lo Green is clearly in a celebratory mood in the video for his latest single, “It’s OK.” Living up to the title of his solo album, The Lady Killer , Green makes his way down a neon-lit city street in the clip as he tries to woo three very different lovely ladies. Like the viral-bomb video for his Grammy bait “F— You,” the new one mixes live-action footage with stylized, cartoony graphics spotlighting the singer’s name, the song title and key lyric phrases, while adding a picture-frame device that highlights the three objects of his affection. Looking dapper in a pin-striped tuxedo with oversized black bowtie, Cee Lo checks his look as the clip unfolds, while the women dance in their candy-colored outfits. One looks demure in a long, flowing blue gown, another hip and fun in a short yellow shirt dress and matching tights and the third sexy in a tight red minidress. Standing next to hand-drawn images of their fingers snapping along to the song’s Motown bounce, Cee Lo starts making his way down the street mooning about a girlfriend whose perfume he can still smell on his sheets, but who has abandoned him. As he reminds her that “It’s OK to say that you love me/ I think of you, still thinking of you,” Cee sits in a chair while his yellow-dress beauty shows him some of her sexiest dance moves. By the time he gets to his “legendary” blue-dress lady, Green is ready to put a tiara on his queen and waltz her around the room while the song’s lyrics are scrawled across the screen. He breaks into his crooner mode for the lady in red, who emerges from a bathtub filled with roses in lingerie to share a drink with the singer on the couch. The ladies — who also served as his backup singers in the “F— You” clip — then dance behind Cee as he sings the song’s chorus with an evening skyline behind him. Combined with the earlier video, Green is clearly going for a consistent theme in his Lady Killer promo pieces, reaching back for a classic look and performance-oriented feel that fits with the album’s elegant, soul-throwback sound.
