Zenevi Romawii I know he's read a part of The Fantastic Mr. Fox which you can find on UA-cam, but it's only a part of it and it's only 3 minutes long. Still, those 3 minutes are filled with beautiful story telling and probably the closest we're gonna get.
The Magic Whip released two years ago (From Damon Albarn's other band Blur) sounded a lot like a Gorillaz-esque type sound. Recommend giving that a listen if you haven't. Or just Blur in general
there's no such thing as a British accent, Britan consists of 3 countries, Scotland Wales and England England alone has at least 20 accents that are completely alien to each other alone
I was a kid when I started to listen to Gorillaz, because of the cartoon look, and now I love both the former Blur vocalist and Gorillaz creator Damon Albarn (that's why I love to listen to music so much) and the animator behind it all Jamie Hewlett (he's the reason why love to draw and do sketches)
Same man, Demon Days was the first album I ever bought!* (*Might have actually been Crazy Frog's Crazy Hits but I don't count that cos my Mum bought it for me...)
FrostyAvenger Shut Up Your So Racist, Oh I Didn't Know You Were Into Avengers You Little 6 Year Old, Grow Up You Think Your So Hard Saying Rude Stuff When Your Probably Still Playing With Little Old Avenger Figurines From Like 2011
Starry Leader haha. the way he reacts is like the interviewer came up with the title right there. "damon, how about the album is called humans?" "ooooh, okay... humans... with a zed. Yes! "
It's because he wasn't sure if the album title was public knowledge or not. When the interviewer said the title, Damon picked up on the fact that he could share the title publicly now
I wouldn't call Gorillaz pop, or Damon Albarn's other projects for that matter. He is a trend setter within genres (like dancehall for example) that maybe will be one day in the future. That however does not mean he is in the pop world.
Imagine my face listening to Damon talk live and listening to two of the new song live ("Saturnz Barz" and "Andromeda") I WAS FREAKING DROWNING WITH MY OWN TEARS
This man is a musical mastermind ! Gorillaz are really awesome and I really appreciate that they try out new Styles every Album. Unfortunately I couldn´t listen to his work besides Gorillaz as of now :/
There are lots of Electronic stuff in Think Tank. It's not very "Blur" in spirit, as it doesn't have Graham Coxon, but it's my favorite album nonetheless. Also, be sure to check out The Good, the Bad and The Queen, a one-shot album by Damon and three other great musicians. :)
Damon is a modern musical genius, he's given us memories and unforgettable tracks from gorillaz and even blur, will go down in history as one of the greats, and if he doesn't, shame on us
I wonder if he reached out for Childish Gambino on this album. Because Gambino would fit well. Even at the beginning of "Have Some Love" by Gambino it sounds like something the Gorillaz would produce.
I just have to say, when I first heard Saturnz Barz the other day (the day the video dropped), I had a genuine smile for for the first time in a good while- and the second I heard 2D start singing, I started jumping around my apartment, laughing out of pure, overwhelming, childlike happiness. As a guy now in his early 20's, cynical and apathetic towards most aspects of life, I must say thank you to both Damon and Jamie for bringing back this feeling of excitement into my world. I'm sure there must be others who feel exactly the same way I do right now, so this is a thanks from all of us listening around the globe.
You know how deep I had to dig this comment section before finding political discussion? That's just how good Damon is. And that's how you display your ideology in Art - with a solid dose of talent and no drama. Bless this chap.
The album is gonna have people like D.R.A.M., Vince Staples, Rag'n'Bone Man, Popcaan, and more. This is gonna be one melting pot of an album if I ever saw a Gorillaz album
Understand the comment, but the whole good vs bad music narrative is so corny and annoying to me. Like get of you high horse dude just listen to what you want.
I don't think you're interpreting this comment properly. I don't see it as a "good music vs bad music" but as being 'a musician' or being just a singer. Anyway, Damon is a great musician AND a great singer.
Simply put Damon Albarn is a godlike musical genius. He can be the swaggering frontman, but knows when to step back and produce artists tying them into the Gorillaz sound and vibe, like he's describing with Popcaan. It really takes a special kind of person to be happy to have someone else dominate your own track but Gorillaz make it work so well.
I legitimately cried out of happiness when Gorillaz released their new songs. I only became a fan about a year ago but I listen to their music nearly everyday, and I thought they wouldn't release any new albums.
If he adds these artists this album will be perfect!: -Daley -Rejjie Snow -Tyler the Creator -Earl Sweatshirt -Fiona Apple -Rae Morris -De La Soul -Del the funky homosapien -Childish Gambino -Daft Punk
The second I get my first paycheck I'm buying the crap outta this album! I was about 14 when I discovered Gorillaz... Its been a beautiful six years of love and discovery for me
I love how when I start getting into the band again they're putting out music again omg I nearly freaked I can't wait til the album comes out I'm getting it
sometimes watching damon talk i actually forget he's the same person as 90s damon? like there's still an uncanny resemblance between him and his younger self but at the same time he's changed SO MUCH. like they're two completely different but equally brilliant and legendary people and sometimes i just forget little damon is walking around as an intelligent forty-something (still making incredible tunes)
RanDOMout The super deluxe version comes with a vinyl for each of the 14 music tracks (not the interludes), & each b-side of the vinyls has an alternate version of that song. So technically, when you include the 5 bonus music tracks on the deluxe edition, that totals 33 freaking songs. 😬
Damon should record an audio book. His voice is heavenly
Zenevi Romawii I just want to hear him read a book or two
Zenevi Romawii I know he's read a part of The Fantastic Mr. Fox which you can find on UA-cam, but it's only a part of it and it's only 3 minutes long. Still, those 3 minutes are filled with beautiful story telling and probably the closest we're gonna get.
GalacticSoda thanks I'll check it out
Zenevi Mawii Yeah listen to Tik-Tokki’s comment :)
7 years without Gorillaz. And now Humanz. What a great time to be alive.
CinemaRockPizza it's been seven years ?
6*
The Magic Whip released two years ago (From Damon Albarn's other band Blur) sounded a lot like a Gorillaz-esque type sound. Recommend giving that a listen if you haven't. Or just Blur in general
Yeah I missed Gorillaz
CinemaRockPizza It's not life without Gorillaz.
When Damon talks like this, I just think of the sentence:
"All of which makes me anxious, at times unbearably so."
Iguana Guacamole matching profile pics😂
Iguana Guacamole Have you heard the Blur track called "Essex Dogs"? It has spoken word from Damon
Double Bass!!
Iguana Guacamole aw I love double bass so much
Only true gorillaz fans know where that’s from.
He has the coolest British accent!
Jeremy Irons
Pls never say British accent again
there's no such thing as a British accent, Britan consists of 3 countries, Scotland Wales and England England alone has at least 20 accents that are completely alien to each other alone
British accent?
I didn't know you could have a Scottish, Welsh AND a English accent in one person.
For all that are idiots, I'm joking.
You’ve just triggered a load of Brits 🙃
I like how casually he looked at the camera
He always seems a little on drugs
1KittySugar1 he had said in the past that he likes to keep up a "stoned teenager persona"
1KittySugar1 I think I have heard he is addicted to pain pills or something like that.
rudo králik thats 2D not damon 😂
@@rudokralik1478 that’s 2D LMAOO
I feel like I'm sitting down, and he's standing up talking to someone behind me.
Matthew Jeide, that is hilarious!!
And he akwardly looks at you every few seconds like "who is this person and why is he staring at me?"
its cute and oddly comforting
I was a kid when I started to listen to Gorillaz, because of the cartoon look, and now I love both the former Blur vocalist and Gorillaz creator Damon Albarn (that's why I love to listen to music so much) and the animator behind it all Jamie Hewlett (he's the reason why love to draw and do sketches)
the art style used to scare me as a kid haha but I used to love hearing the music but I blame mtv for not showing me their other music videos
Luca Peyrefitte it scared me too at first!!
Mark XL Me too! They introduced us to great things :’)
IVE DONE MY WAITING

ZakOmusic no
Same man, Demon Days was the first album I ever bought!*
(*Might have actually been Crazy Frog's Crazy Hits but I don't count that cos my Mum bought it for me...)
All my Life!
David Reece loif is what it sounds like xD
David Reece sat in the bathroom and found that im just a heartbreaker
Hayden Woods others say they kinda sound different. but once i heard ohl mai loif. i loved it. especialy when 2d starts singing
I'm in the stakin' bar, I got debts, I'm a debaser!
+Hayden Woods "Saturnz about to make love and I'm just a heartbreaker"*
Thank God I didn't kill myself earlier.
Damaris Zayas BITCH SAME
the new album is what kept me going tbh.
When it come's out i'll listen to it 50 times then kill myself
IKR
FrostyAvenger Ikr
FrostyAvenger Shut Up Your So Racist, Oh I Didn't Know You Were Into Avengers You Little 6 Year Old, Grow Up You Think Your So Hard Saying Rude Stuff When Your Probably Still Playing With Little Old Avenger Figurines From Like 2011
Damon sounded like it was the first time he'd heard the name of the album lmao
Starry Leader haha. the way he reacts is like the interviewer came up with the title right there. "damon, how about the album is called humans?" "ooooh, okay... humans... with a zed. Yes! "
He also doesn't know the release date, must have been on something when he went in
It's because he wasn't sure if the album title was public knowledge or not. When the interviewer said the title, Damon picked up on the fact that he could share the title publicly now
Starry Leader 2:05 LMAAAO
We're ready!!
26 tracks?!
mmmmMmm!!
Real Egyptian Silk
Eighty Portion well, 20 on the standard edition, an 26 on the special edition
pshhh, it's still good news! New Gorillaz Music \^0^/ hah
"MHhhmmmmmmmmmmmm"-Murdoc Nicalls 2K05
20 on Default, and 26 on Deluxe.
what a voice! he should narrate a Game of Thrones book.
Khristian Ortiz or little Britain?
He should be in Game of Thrones! Oh wait they'll probably kill him off, nevermind.
Damon Albarn is the modern-day version of Mozart. I love his mind, his vision and his music.
I wouldn't call Gorillaz pop, or Damon Albarn's other projects for that matter. He is a trend setter within genres (like dancehall for example) that maybe will be one day in the future. That however does not mean he is in the pop world.
Eh maybe in the modern/inde Rock world. I'm a big gorillaz fan and therefore a fan of his but the only person I'd give that title is Paul McCartney.
Blurrrr
I love that voice even when he's talking. ♥
so glad gorillaz are back! Love this man.
I cried like a baby when I heard the new songs
Hailee Perigen You baby lol
WAC I know 😭
I did too. ;_; watching the 360° had me in tears i was so happy. Felt like a kid at disney world.
Imagine my face listening to Damon talk live and listening to two of the new song live ("Saturnz Barz" and "Andromeda") I WAS FREAKING DROWNING WITH MY OWN TEARS
Hailee Perigen grow up
he should be the voice on a GPS or an audio book lol
This makes me so excited. I grew up on their music and now I'll get to age with their music 😭💖
Growing up is aging, you already aged with their music
His voice. HIS VOICE! It's so nice to hear him speak about some new music. I cannot wait for the rest of the album!
IM SO READY
party poison mcrmy Ayy
party poison Hey killjoys
party poison MCRMYYYYYYY
Studio Gxost well killjoys have good taste in music and Gorillaz is some good shit ya know
This man is a musical mastermind !
Gorillaz are really awesome and I really appreciate that they try out new Styles every Album.
Unfortunately I couldn´t listen to his work besides Gorillaz as of now :/
ImperialMartin blur is one the best bands from Britain
ImperialMartin everyday robots is a great solo album as well
Blur is more rock/experimental and less electronic oriented because of the other members especially the guitarist.
There are lots of Electronic stuff in Think Tank. It's not very "Blur" in spirit, as it doesn't have Graham Coxon, but it's my favorite album nonetheless.
Also, be sure to check out The Good, the Bad and The Queen, a one-shot album by Damon and three other great musicians. :)
The good the bad and the queen is really good
Damon is such a fuckin' cool dude, and it's so nice to finally see him return with a new Gorillaz album!
I love his talking voice. Is so deep and chill.
Damon is a modern musical genius, he's given us memories and unforgettable tracks from gorillaz and even blur, will go down in history as one of the greats, and if he doesn't, shame on us
I wonder if he reached out for Childish Gambino on this album. Because Gambino would fit well. Even at the beginning of "Have Some Love" by Gambino it sounds like something the Gorillaz would produce.
i feeeel you bro, gambino would do so well in a gorillaz collab
Damon is life
I love Gorillaz, but Blur is still #1 to me
damon has this really cute little stutter and it’s the most adorable thing
I just have to say,
when I first heard Saturnz Barz the other day (the day the video dropped), I had a genuine smile for for the first time in a good while- and the second I heard 2D start singing, I started jumping around my apartment, laughing out of pure, overwhelming, childlike happiness. As a guy now in his early 20's, cynical and apathetic towards most aspects of life, I must say thank you to both Damon and Jamie for bringing back this feeling of excitement into my world.
I'm sure there must be others who feel exactly the same way I do right now, so this is a thanks from all of us listening around the globe.
Welcome the hell back! You held my hand at a drunken concert one night in Philadelphia! Damon is a talent few in the world can ever match.
He still looks great for his age - and still has all of his hair :)
He is not old!
is it wrong to fall in love with this man
daddy af
You know how deep I had to dig this comment section before finding political discussion?
That's just how good Damon is.
And that's how you display your ideology in Art - with a solid dose of talent and no drama.
Bless this chap.
What a great interview!!
So stoked about this release!!
I fucking love damon
"i'm desperate for it to come out" BITCH ME TOO!!! THE FUCK!!!
I wanna see a Andre 3000 collab with Gorillaz one day
Look Up "DoYaThing"
Topin I know the song, but I still wanna him as a regular feature like Del the funky homosapien.
Any song with Damon's voice I instantly love ❤️
The album is gonna have people like D.R.A.M., Vince Staples, Rag'n'Bone Man, Popcaan, and more. This is gonna be one melting pot of an album if I ever saw a Gorillaz album
Liam Carmody sorry but whats the album actually called?
ALEN V JOHN humanz
Dylan Palmer thanks bro
ALEN V JOHN HUMANZ
Liam Carmody I don't like Pop Caan at all but I love Vince Staples

Marvin Mata cartoonz

Gorillaz
I love Damon, he is a genius
Thank you for listening to the fans and bringing Gorillaz back.
LOOK children... an actual, real, *talented* musician.
OOOOooohhh....
Now, I know you may feel unfamiliar, but it's OK, he wont hurt you.
Postghost listen man all music is music its what people enjoy that makes it good music
oot n a boot THANK YOU fuck hipsters
Understand the comment, but the whole good vs bad music narrative is so corny and annoying to me. Like get of you high horse dude just listen to what you want.
Real music? What's fake music then?
I don't think you're interpreting this comment properly. I don't see it as a "good music vs bad music" but as being 'a musician' or being just a singer. Anyway, Damon is a great musician AND a great singer.
Super hanz
lol
barry brown Nice packet of crunchy nut here. Pretty expensive, as I recall.
The longer the note, the more dread.
We could be men with ven, Jez.
barry brown Hanzome
bloody brilliant mate
GORILLAZ!!!! I like you going all out Damon its your vision
The Shins, Alt-j, Gorillaz... you're already making 2017 a lot better than last year. So happy all of them are releasing new content.
Everything about GORILLAZ WORKS FOR ME. I'm not a fan of seeing Murdoc naked, though.
I don't think anyone is
the1stMoyatia who cares?
Speak for yourself
Naked Murdoc is just the comedic par for the course when it comes to Gorillaz.
I am.
Simply put Damon Albarn is a godlike musical genius. He can be the swaggering frontman, but knows when to step back and produce artists tying them into the Gorillaz sound and vibe, like he's describing with Popcaan. It really takes a special kind of person to be happy to have someone else dominate your own track but Gorillaz make it work so well.
What a time to be alive.
"You can interpret that however you like." I love this guy.
Damon is spoiling us, he was waiting to do this for years! im so ready!!
i love his voice its so smooth
I legitimately cried out of happiness when Gorillaz released their new songs. I only became a fan about a year ago but I listen to their music nearly everyday, and I thought they wouldn't release any new albums.
If he adds these artists this album will be perfect!:
-Daley
-Rejjie Snow
-Tyler the Creator
-Earl Sweatshirt
-Fiona Apple
-Rae Morris
-De La Soul
-Del the funky homosapien
-Childish Gambino
-Daft Punk
PowerL1N3 De La Soul feature on the album
Damon is everything!!!!
Amazing album, still addicted to it
cannot stop swooning and smiling! I feel like he's talking directly to me.
He is such a great artist.
The second I get my first paycheck I'm buying the crap outta this album! I was about 14 when I discovered Gorillaz... Its been a beautiful six years of love and discovery for me
Glad to have the Gorillaz back. Pre ordered last month. Can't wait to hear all 26 tracks at once.
Damon's voice has deepened so much over these past 6 years
There will be 26 tracks on the new gorillaz album... postpone my murder, I need to be alive for this.
that's amazing to hear from Damon! ^^' love him and his work!
28TH OF APRIL BOIS

Damon And His Charaters Has Shaped My Childhood...For That I Thank You Damon For Creating Gorillaz!!! 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥
I hope the tour reaches the Philippines! Would be the best first concert ever
I Can't wait!! April 28, 2017!!!!!!
sometimes watching damon talk i actually forget he's the same person as 90s damon? like there's still an uncanny resemblance between him and his younger self but at the same time he's changed SO MUCH. like they're two completely different but equally brilliant and legendary people and sometimes i just forget little damon is walking around as an intelligent forty-something (still making incredible tunes)
We are his children, his babies 💕 growing with his music. Blur, Gorillaz, solo stuff 💖
I love listening to this man!

I love this year
1:40 confirmed b-side album?
RanDOMout The super deluxe version comes with a vinyl for each of the 14 music tracks (not the interludes), & each b-side of the vinyls has an alternate version of that song. So technically, when you include the 5 bonus music tracks on the deluxe edition, that totals 33 freaking songs. 😬
Oh wow I didn't know that! thanks for the info!
RanDOMout Yeah! Unfortunately, that set is $350 AND sold out already, lol.
I don't play on vinyl anyway ;)
I've heard there are around 40 songs that didn't make it on the album. H-Sides is pretty much confirmed.
i love him so much
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!! FINALY !!!! I'M SOOO HAPPY
I've been waiting for this :D
Love Damon.
My childhood is hitting me full force! I couldn't be happier! 😁
