Brilliant news, we have the latest instalment from the Gorillaz Song Machine series, featuring Elton John. This time they’ve teamed up with the Rocket Man singer and rapper 6LACK.
The release is a huge jam, despite the crazy juxtaposition between Elton John’s classic vocals and the electronic sound from Gorillaz, interspersed with 6LACK’s lines.
It’s a super textured, interesting track. There’s a lot going on but throughout the chaos of all those competing elements, John’s vocals and piano add a real sense of stability to the new single.
Also Elton John in the Gorillaz universe is the cutest.
“I’ve always been a Gorillaz fan so when Damon reached out and asked me to get involved it was a no-brainer. The way the song turned out is just great,” said John.
The @Gorillaz track I worked on is out tomorrow! I’ve always been a Gorillaz fan so when Damon reached out and asked me to get involved it was a no-brainer. The way the song turned out is just great – I can’t wait for you to hear ithttps://t.co/NK05tiGFeR pic.twitter.com/v0pXmz3rHn
