Gorillaz – Humanz (2xLP)

The guest list of "Humanz" includes Grace Jones, Danny Brown, Benjamin Clementine, Pusha T, Vince Staples, Peven Everett, Mavis Staples, Jehnny Beth (Savages), and De La Soul are once again part of the party. The biggest sensation is probably the collaboration of Oasis frontman and long-term rival Noel Gallagher.

The new album was recorded in London, New York, Chicago, Paris and Jamaica. The Twilite Tone of D / \ P and Remi Kabaka took care of the production.

The result is a 19-song epic that can really be heard. How much, the Gorillaz already revealed in advance with four song extracts: "We've Got The Power", "Andromeda", "Ascension" and the single "Saturnz Barz", for which there is also a special 3-D animation video.

Incidentally, the standard CD comes with different covers. Chance decides which of the four band members can be seen on it.

Finally: After a break of almost seven years, the Gorillaz present a new album with a more than impressive line-up: Here is "Humanz".
