After laying low from the public eye for a good 5
years, British duo and virtual band Gorillaz have finally placed their
sunglasses back on, match in mouth, ready to re-light the flame.
It was clear that this was serious business when on
March 23rd, the band chose to name-drop and then release whopping
four new songs from their new album Humanz,
which is set to drop at the end of April. The songs were released first to
radio and now to Spotify, which include Andromeda
(ft Broccoli Rapper D.R.A.M), Saturnz
Barz (ft Popcaan), Ascension (ft
Vince Staples), and We Got The Power
(ft Savages singer Jenny Beth).
Saturn Barz came with a short-animated film to spread
the release, featuring the brainchild of Jamie Hewlett and our favourite band
members 2-D, Murdoc, Noodle, and Russel, along with some other truly chilling
new characters that follow them around in a haunted house.
Including the phenomenal collaborators mentioned above
in the release tracks, the album is said to also feature the vocals of other
stars such as De La Soul, Mavis Staples, Grace Jones, Kilo Kish, Danny Brown, Carly
Simon, and Pusha T, as well as of course the voice of the Gorillaz and the
singer of Blur, Damon Albarn.
Humanz,
the 14 track album, will be released to the public on the 28th of
April, so save the date, dare to listen to the 4 new tracks on Spotify, and
prepare to feel good again.
