Production on Can A Song Save Your Life? is set to begin next week in New York City.

Currently, Cee-Lo is working with Goodie Mob on the group’s forthcoming, fifth studio album, Age Against the Machine and despite earlier complaints about the show, he will return as a judge on the third season of NBC’s####, singing competition, “The Voice”, this fall.

He will also call Las Vegas home for the next few months during his Planet Hollywood residency of Cee-Lo Green Presents “Loberace.”
