But the greatest testament to the strength of Albarn and Hewlett’s vision arrives when you play 2017 single “We Got the Power” and twig which Britpop legend is singing backing vocals. By scuffing away genre boundaries while they helicoptered collaborators in and out, Gorillaz anticipated the pop of today. The album’s reach was certainly broad-selling seven million copies worldwide-and its impact is still audible.

Albarn wanted Gorillaz to be for everyone-a mainstream catalyst for exploring all corners of music.
Gorillaz was dismissed as “music for 12-year-olds” by Albarn’s old adversary Noel Gallagher, but that wasn’t the insult he thought it was. Rarely had Albarn achieved such a fine balance of adventure and directness.
Listen closely and you’ll hear Tom Tom Club adding finger snaps and backing vocals to the wonky euphoria of “19-2000”, before Buena Vista Social Club’s Ibrahim Ferrer brings stately elegance and wisdom to proceedings on “Latin Simone (Que Pasa Contigo)”. Co-producer Dan the Automator injects an astral glimmer and rib-shaking bottom end throughout, assisted by Jamaican bass legend Junior Dan, who leads bittersweet dub odysseys “Starshine” and “Slow Country”. Other Albarn identifiers run through the record-the sharpness of melody, the air of melancholy that hangs around even the brightest moments-but he calls on collaborators to help frame them in new, divergent ways. There’s no mistaking the careworn voice carried by rolling hip-hop beats on opener “Re-Hash”. After all, who was a more convincing front for otherworldly adventures in dub, trip-hop, punk, rap Westerns and bolero sounds? A man inexorably tied to Britpop with Union Jack bunting? Or Noodle, 2D, Russel and Murdoc, a motley gang of vaguely apocalyptic animations?Īlbarn originally planned to be an anonymous part of the project, but that was a futile notion by the time this debut album arrived in March 2001. Retreating behind comic-book creator Hewlett’s animations gave him a new freedom to experiment. Even as Blur’s increasingly intrepid music distanced them from the creeping conservatism of Britpop during the late ’90s, Albarn had creative urges that couldn’t be satisfied within one of Britain’s biggest guitar bands.

Gorillaz is not intended to be a parody or a children's book and its success is as much due to the characters invented by Albarn and Hewlett as to their music. Although several other fake bands, whether animated or with real actors, have already been successful, they were only parodies of a particular genre (Spinal Tap, A Mighty Wind) or were designed for a young or even very young audience (The Archies, Alvin & the Chipmunks). Their style represents several musical genres including rock, alternative music, britpop, trip hop, hip-hop, electronica, independent rock, dub, reggae, pop, and rap.
