Damon Albarn has shared some brief in-studio footage of his collaboration with Noel Gallagher on the new Gorillaz album Humanz, just before its release tomorrow.

The former rivals’ new found friendship reached a professional plain on We Got The Power, though the results were tuned down to a much more subtle final product with the help of Savages’ Jehnny Beth – as Albarn recently explained to Rolling Stone. “At one point, that track was Noel, me and Graham Coxon,” he said. “It was the ultimate self-congratulatory Britpop moment. It was the victory lap, these geezers singing about all the power they had.”

“I went back and opted to doing it like you play something at the end of a film, as the credits roll. Jehnny Beth was necessary. The testosterone levels were off the scale.”
