![]() Strange Timez is a dizzying hallucination and a perfect entry point for an album that continues to get strange. Instead, it was recorded over email, not that you’d be able to tell. Strange Timez was recorded during the pandemic with Damon Albarn never actually stepping into the studio with Smith. ![]() One of the most iconic voices in alternative music, he’s stepping into Gorillaz's world for the first time. ![]() Robert Smith, lead-singer of The Cure, needs no introduction. To celebrate, we’re going to go through all the collaborators and decipher how they fit into the Gorillaz world. Well, Song Machine has finally arrived and it’s certainly chaos but in the best kind of way. We don’t even know who's stepping through the studio next.” Russell Hobbs of the group said, “World is moving faster than a supercharged particle, so we’ve gotta stay ready to drop. This project, more than any other by the group, feeds off the varied nature of the collaborators. There’s a narrative to it all, although Gorillaz told Radio 1, it’s an “obtuse” one. Launched as a web series, they have spent the year rolling out one song at a time alongside a video. Song Machine has been one of the group’s most ambitious series yet. From Bobby Womack to Vince Staples, Mavis Staples to Kali Uchis, they always keep us guessing and that’s never been more true than on their new project Song Machine. Since 2010’s Plastic Beach, they have been enlisting a diverse and varying rotation of collaborators. Gorillaz are no stranger to collaborations.
