Gorillaz - Stylo (streaming above).

[sbessiso]

Im digging it

[BlackSwan]

Funky.

There is also a downloadable version available.

[sbessiso]

Funky seems to be the general consensus.

[BlackSwan]

Funky in a good way, that is.

The site was also updated with two more videos this morning: http://www.gorillaz.com/

And here is the new NME article: http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/5/...3%20NME_02.jpg

[Caligula]

weird stuff

[rage patton]

Woh. Stylo wasn't exactly what I was expecting. If the whole album is like this, it might take a couple listens to get used too. It is definitely good. Just not what I was expecting.

[sbessiso]

So theyre "marooned on a mysterious island called Plastic Beach"....

I fucking love concept albums

[rage patton]

Ooooo. Just got to thos Mos Def part. Really digging his part.

[sbessiso]

im not sure what you were expecting, ragey. This is kind of what I had in mind and you know the rest of the album is going to be crazy genre-hopping

[rage patton]

Well, its just not as catchy as their previous singles. This one is much more laid back. I am still sure I am going to love the album, I was just saying this is a pretty different Gorillaz track. Especially for a single.

[sbessiso]

yeah it is, youre right

[BlackSwan]

I like where they are going with this. After one listen Damon's part at the beginning got stuck in my head, but that just may be me.

[rage patton]

I just put on my Gorillaz shirt.

ITS HAPPENING!

[OutOfmYminD]

Haha, I've been sporting my Gorillaz shirt on and off all week as well.

Is it possible to get a PM for stylo? That link appears to have been taken down.

[Monklish]

Do we know for sure that's going to be the first single, 'cause if so it's not going to be received very well.

[ficklecycle]

Stylo is great. I listened to it over and over again till it was deleted off Tumblr. I love how Mos' verse was so subtle. Definitely a great listen.

Just in case anyone has a hard time finding it:

[ldobbie]

loving the new track. just made me a lot more excited for their show.

[Gribbz]

Really digging this single.

[ficklecycle]

[amyzzz]

[sbessiso]

No me too, its fucking catchy.

I need to find my Gorillaz shirt! Imagine the specialty gorillaz/coachella tee they'll be selling.

Apology accepted. but don't let the butt pirate named Sbessio keep you away from Plastic Beach. Paddle fast and furiously.

[GrossMagic]

Definitely doesn't sounds like a single, I dunno how the ordinary person would feel about this. I in the other hand, am feeling it, very old school mixed with new school.
