Gorillaz Release "Stylo", Confirm "Plastic Beach"

Only a few days after being announced as a headliner for the Coachella Music Festival, Gorillaz have just released their newest single "Stylo" (click on the title to hear the track) from their third album Plastic Beach due in stores March 9th.

"Stylo" features Bobby Womack and Mos Def. It's a much more low key effort compared to rest of their library. Nothing really jumps out and grabs you, instead it washes over you and immerses you in rhythm and fazed in synth funk. "Electric is the look," Damon Albarn sings. Mos Def plays a subtle role finding his voice within the beats. Mr. Womack however blasts the whole thing wide open with his soul filled croon.

You can see the album track listing below.
