Holy Shit Gorillaz Just Dropped Their First New Song in Six Years - Noisey

The inauguration of Donald actual Trump spells palpable horror and disaster for a large percentage of the global population, not to mention the complete obliteration of any remaining relevance that Three Doors Down had left. However, it has also done something else. It has prompted Gorillaz to release their first song in six damn years.

Featuring north London poet, pianist and 2015 Mercury prize winner Benjamin Clementine, the track is called "Hallelujah Money" and explores the president-elect's two favourite themes of power and big business, as well as his less preferred concept of humanity.

There's no news on the new Gorillaz album yet but apparently this is absolutely not the first single to expect from it. So there's that. And here's what the one and only Murdoc has to say about the new track:

"In these dark times, we all need someone to look up to. Me. That's why I'm giving you this new Gorillaz song, a lightning bolt of truth in a black night. You're welcome. Now piss on! The new album's not gonna write itself."

Earlier today, Gorillaz uploaded four new songs to TIDAL — which followed the single they put out in January — and now, after countless teasers, their new album has finally been announced. Their first album in six years is called Humanz and it comes out on April 28.

Like every Gorillaz album, main members Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett brought in a ton of guests. This one includes Grace Jones, Mavis Staples, Danny Brown, De La Soul, Pusha T, Kali Uchis, Kelela, Vince Staples, Jehnny Beth from Savages, D.R.A.M., Popcaan, Jamie Principle, Kilo Kish, Anthony Hamilton, Peven Everett, and Zebra Katz.

The songs on TIDAL are still not streamable, but Gorillaz are set to premiere new music on MistaJam’s BBC Radio 1 show today at 3 PM EST.
