Gorillaz have a pretty funny reputation on social media for their galaxy-brained collaborations but on new song "Silent Running" Damon Albarn and co. are keeping things in the family. The song, which will feature on upcoming album Cracker Island, features Adeleye Omotayo on vocals. Omotayo is a member of The Humanz Choir, who provide vocals on stage during Gorillaz live shows. The song was co-written and produced by Greg Kurstin. A video for the song is coming soon but a visualizer can be found below.
Cracker Island is due on February 24. So far we have heard Tame Impala-collaboration "New Gold" and "Skinny Ape" from the animated group's forthcoming eighth album. Other guests on the album include Stevie Nicks, Bad Bunny, and Beck.
Gorillaz were recently named among the performers at this year's Coachella. They join headliners Blackpink, Bad Bunny, and Frank Ocean in the California desert this April.
