cools. it's been quiet


was there not rumours of filming a music video a while ago? Could there be a video release to accompany this?

i'm always disappointed when i hear that gorillaz will release new material.

Release day on the eve of Brexit echoes "Hallelujah Money" release on the eve of Trump´s inauguration, do you remember? BUT - BBC Radio 1 page doesn´t advertise it anymore, see the link posted above. Maybe the track is too much for public-law station. (Slowthai, one of the collaborators on this new track, has performed with (fake) severed head of Boris Johnson at Mercury Prize.) Perhaps, BBC do not want to add fuel to the fire - or just plays it safe, to put it less dramaticaly. My guess is we´ll hear new track on Thursday, but on another platform

I think BBC just removed the info specifying Gorillaz because they let it slip a little too early, as they usually announce a new single is playing a few days before it premieres, rather than so long beforehand. It still mentions that they're playing the Hottest Record, just no Gorillaz mention.

Exactly the last time Damon put full effort into Blur is nearly 20 years ago, The Magic Whip only happened thanks to Graham...ffs more Gorillaz, total sub par every time...

Soundtrack for a tv series? Want more blur to be honest. Bit bored of the Gorillaz.

he mentioned the 'song machine series' is separate to that album release so i don't really believe it. I think they will be one project i reckon. But who knows!
