The animated Gorillaz bandmates make their first ever appearance in a live performance video on the new promo for Tranz.
The track is taken from the The Now Now album which, while still containing a number of notable collaborations, presents a much narrower focus on main creative force Damon Albarn.
“I’ve just wanted to make another record so that when we play the gigs this summer there is something nice to play everyone,” he explained to Zane Lowe on Beats 1. “I thought I should make a record where I’m just singing for once. I mean, sorry, 2-D singing for once.”
“It’s an album, I sing on it. It’s pretty much just me singing, very sort of in the world of 2-D but kind of come out and he’s singing very expressively. I feel really good about it. I feel really really good about it. It’s a summer record.”
“I wrote most of it on tour back in America. Snoop is on it because we were in LA and Jamie Principle because he was on the tour. And then just so randomly sort of George Benson and that’s it really.”
