Gorillaz Reveal Humanz Tracklist, Share New Songs
After a long and mythology-heavy buildup, Gorillaz have officially announced their first new album in six years. It’s called Humanz and will be out on 4/28.
Four new tracks are debuting across three different radio stations (BBC Radio 1, Beats 1, and Radio X), and they’re the same ones that popped up on Tidal earlier today. Those four songs are “Ascension” (featuring Vince Staples), “We Got The Power” (featuring Savages’ Jehnny Beth), “Saturnz Barz” (featuring Popcaan), and “Andromeda” (featuring D.R.A.M.).
Damon Albarn’s old Oasis frenemy Noel Gallagher does background vocals on “We Got The Power.” In an interview with Radio X, Albarn said: “Its really great, [Noel]’s fantastic in the studio. It’s nice when you see how someone goes about their business. He’s great.”
Watch a video for “Saturn Barz” that was directed by Jamie Hewlett and listen to the other three tracks below.
The album features an all-star cast of collaborators, all of which were leaked in a rumored tracklist a few days ago. But here they are again for posterity: Danny Brown, Vince Staples, De La Soul, D.R.A.M., Kelela, Grace Jones, Pusha T, Mavis Staples, Savages’ Jehnny Beth, Popcaan, Kali Uchis, Carly Simon, and more. The interludes are narrated by Ben Mendelsohn.
