Plastic Beach

Yes, I'm really going to talk about the most recent album of the Gorillaz, Plastic Beach... it's once again an album filled with critical views on the world but with the right touch of sarcasm, and of course lot's n lot's of high quality music!!!!
Once again Damon Albarn was able to gather up some of the most renowned names in the music industry from all over the world and Jamie Hewlett made the fitting imagery for it!
Let's just take a quick overview as to what artists are being featured on the album:
Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed, Mos Def, Bobby Womack (The one and only legend!!!), Gruff Rhys, Mark E. Smith, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, Kano, Bashy, De La Soul, Little Dragon (I think it's only the singer Yukimi Nagano but I'm not sure), Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, sinfonia ViVA, and The Lebanese National Orchestra for Oriental Arabic Music.
The first single called stylo featured Bobby Womack and Mos Def, although it's a good song I still prefer some of the other songs from their album like "To Binge", "Superfast Jellyfish" or "Some Kind of Nature"... but all the songs are great as usual!
You should definetly check out the entire album and not only the songs that they put out as singles!
Listen to it and have fun!
P.S- This'll be my last post for the day!!!
