Newest Cracker Island monitor options vocals from frequent collaborator Adeleye Omotayo
Gorillaz have shared a slinky new tune, “Silent Operating,” that includes longtime collaborator Adeleye Omotayo, from their upcoming album Cracker Island, out Feb. 24.
“Silent Operating,” per a press launch, was the primary Cracker Island tune Gorillaz labored on with producer Greg Kurstin at his studio in Los Angeles. Musical mastermind Damon Albarn described the mid-tempo funk gem as having “that form of mesmerizing dreamlike state you get in whenever you’re simply following some prepare of thought.”
Or, as Gorillaz’s animated frontman 2D evocatively put it, “Typically I get effectively misplaced and find yourself within the unsuitable place however then it seems that’s the place I used to be meant to be going anyway.”
Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett can be at work on an official music video for “Silent Operating.” An launch date for that hasn’t been launched, although the clip did get its personal quick trailer, which seems to contain a little bit of witchcraft within the Hollywood Hills.
“Silent Operating” is the fifth tune Gorillaz have shared from Cracker Island, together with “Skinny Ape,” “Child Queen,” “New Gold” (that includes Tame Impala and Bootie Brown), and “Cracker Island” (that includes Thundercat). The album can even characteristic contributions from Dangerous Bunny, Stevie Nicks, and Beck.
