The album will be the first from the band in six years.
The Gorillaz have revealed that the title of the album will be Humanz and is to be released on 28th April. They will be giving lucky gig-goers a taste of the album when they play it in full in London tonight.
Four songs from the album, ‘Saturnz Barz‘, ‘Andromeda‘, ‘We Got the Power‘, and ‘Ascension‘, have already been released. You can listen to the tracks below.
The new album is packed with guest appearances including Damon Albarn of Blur, Grace Jones, De La Soul, Jehnny Beth, Danny Brown, Pusha T, Mavis Staples, Kali Uchis, Kelela, Vince Staples, DRAM, Popcaan, Jamie Principle, Kilo Kish, Anthony Hamilton, Peven Everett, Benjamin Clementine and Zabra Katz.
Blur frontman Albarn spoke about the LP on Radio 1. He said: “We’re in transition we’re turning into something else. This album came from this dark fantasy that came into my head at the beginning of last year. Just imagine the most weirdest, most unpredictable thing happening that changes everything about the world. How will you feel on that night? It’s not about Donald Trump at all, but we were imagining that happening in a way, and that was our dark fantasy that became a reality.”
