Gorillaz have teased fans for over a year now with talk of a new album, yet outside of a politically-charged single, “Hallelujah Money” released on President Trump’s inauguration and the announcement of their own music festival, we didn’t even have a title, let alone a track list, cover art, a release date, etc.
That has all changed, as Gorillaz revealed that their first new album since 2010’s Plastic Beach would be called Humanz. There are 14 tracks on the regular edition (release date of April 28), with five more on the deluxe. A Super Deluxe Vinyl Box Set will also contain each of the 14 regular edition tracks on its own piece of vinyl, backed by an alternate version.

As rumored, the guest appearances on Humanz is a rogues gallery of cutting-edge collaborators including Grace Jones, Mavis Staples, Danny Brown, De La Soul, Pusha T, Kelela, and actor Ben Mendelsohn (Rogue One, Bloodline) narrating the album’s interludes. Check out the full track list below.
Gorillaz co-creators Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett also put out a six-minute film called “Saturnz Barz (Spirit House),” directed by Hewlett, containing the track “Saturnz Barz” feat. Popcaan. The animated, trippy, haunted house short features clips from “Ascension” (feat. Vince Staples), “We Got the Power” (feat. Jehnny Beth of Savages) and “Andromeda” (feat. D.R.A.M.). A 360-degree virtual reality version of the video is also available.
