(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Cee Lo Green has compared his Lady Killer protagonist Scarlet Fever to a character in Casino.

The singer-songwriter released his most recent album, The Lady Killer, in November of last year. The 36-year-old has previously described the record as mirroring a motion picture and says that the album was essentially the soundtrack to the screenplay hed written in his head.

The American star says he created Scarlet Fever as a character who is present throughout the whole of the album. He has compared the relationship running through his album to that of Ace and Ginger in Martin Scorseses 1995 gangster movie Casino.

There was a character who I had written her name was Scarlet Fever which was my love interest throughout the mini-movie Lady Killer and Love Gun was her way of saying that she has been affected by me, he told Hip Hop Weekly. Just imagine Ace Rothstein and Ginger from the movie Casino; Ginger was Aces Scarlet. So Scarlet was my character, the one I was smitten by who was anything that a gangsta could want, but she was also the liability.

Casino tells the story of Sam Ace Rothstein, played by Robert De Niro - a top gambling handicapper who is called by the Mob to oversee the day-to-day operations at a casino in Las Vegas. Sharon Stone plays Ginger, Ace's self-obsessed and devious wife in the film. (C) Cover Media
