Gorillaz have officially announced their new album, Humanz, which will be released on April 28. The new project will feature appearances from Vince Staples, Popcaan, Kelela, Pusha T, Grace Jones, Mavis Staples, De La Soul, Danny Brown, Carly Simon, D.R.A.M., Jamie Principle, Kilo Kish, Kali Uchis, Anthony Hamilton, Peven Everett, and Zebra Katz. Humanz will be the fictional group’s first album since 2010’s The Fall.
Hype has been building for this project over the last few months after the band rolled out a series of visual stories for its members last year. They released the protest single “Hallelujah Money” featuring Benjamin Clementine in January, and today, they’ll be premiering new material on BBC Radio 1. [Pitchfork]
