Sometimes the internet works like it should. One day, Gorillaz are announced as a headliner for Coachella. That night, Radio One airs a new Gorillaz track, “Stylo,” off the band’s upcoming Plastic Beach album, and by the next day it’s all over the web. It’s called giving a story “legs.”
The song features soul legend Bobby Womack really going for it. Mos Def’s in there too, but he doesn’t make the impact of the senior crooner.
