SummersRadio™ New Music/ Video! Damon Albarn - 'Lonely Press Play' (Official Video)
Damon Albarn has just released a new video online today for his latest single 'Lonely Press Play'! 'Lonely Press Play' follows last month's title track (http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2014/01/summersradio-new-music-new-video-damon.html) as the second single and video released from his forthcoming solo debut album 'Everyday Robots'. The full length is released on April 28th and the single itself is released on iTunes today.
Best known as the frontman for both Blur and Gorillaz it seems that Albarn has mellowed right out for his solo debut - that's going by the first two singles only though - I'm quite looking forward to hearing the album in full. In true solo fashion he also made this video shot around the world with his own iPad... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + New Video! Damon Albarn - 'Everyday Robots'
Damon Albarn is releasing his first proper solo album called 'Everyday Robots' on April 28th! The Blur/ Gorillaz frontman just posted his new song and video for the title track online today.
'Everyday Robots' finds Albarn in his chilled/ spaced out mode - declaring that we are the robots - lost and alone. It's a nice hypnotic shuffle with a colourful video (directed by Aitor Throup) in tow... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Gorillaz - 'Feel Good Inc.' (Bruno Be Remix)
Brazil's Bruno Be has just released a new remix of Gorillaz' 'Feel Good Inc.' online! 'Feel Good Inc.' was first released as the lead single from their second album 'Demon Days' in 2005. It was reported in June that Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett plan to make a follow up to their 2011 album 'The Fall' - but not until a new Blur album was finished first - yay!
This new 'Bruno Be Remix' is a deep house take on the song - with a few wobbly bits thrown in - and some unique vocal effects... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download + Bonus Tracks! Gorillaz featuring James Murphy & Andre 3000 - 'Do Ya Thing' (includes free download!)/ Blursabian (Blur vs Kasabian) - 'There's No LSF' (Party Ben Mashup)/ Gorillaz featuring James Murphy & Andre 3000 - 'Do Ya Thing' (Full 13 Minute Explicit Version)
Gorillaz have just released a new single online featuring James Murphy and Andre 3000! The song is part of the Converse '3 Artists, 1 Song' series - and ties in with the release of the limited edition 'Chuck Taylor Gorillaz Collection' which features artwork designed by Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett:
Truth be told I've had a wicked hangover all day today, so I may be a bit harder to please than usual - but even after multiple listens I'm not sure that this song is to my liking. Although this single is a one off, I'd be much more excited to see/ hear a new song from Blur than Gorillaz.
The idea is certainly not unpossible as Damon Albarn will be reuniting with his Blur mates to headline a concert in London's Hyde Park on August 12 to coincide with the closing ceremonies of the summer Olympics. The concert is billed as the 'Best Of British' and will also feature The Specials and New Order - I want to go! It seems like the perfect time to debut something new, doesn't it?
While I keep that dream alive for now, today we have this new Gorillaz track - 'Do Ya Thing' - featuring former LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy and Outkast's Andre 3000. My first impression was that it sounded rather similar to 'Feel Good Inc.' initially - but with far too many words/ too much knattering - and a much weaker musical backing track. I love James Murphy but I've never been a big fan of falsetto vocals - and Andre 3000's squawking about a new Outkast album is just plain annoying. But that's just my opinon - what do you think?
If this version of 'Do Ya Thing' is to your liking you can download a copy for free from the official Converse website here: http://play.converse.com/blog/2012/02/23/doyathing/ Enjoy!
Bonus Track! Blursabian - 'There's No LSF' (Party Ben Mashup)
I don't normally post a track that isn't to my liking, so I feel a bit soiled with the above post - so I must counter attack it by also featuring an awesome mashup! This is a classic mashup by San Francisco based dj/ producer/ radio host Party Ben - of Blur's 'There's No Other Way' and Kasabian's 'LSF'... Enjoy!
Bonus Bonus Track! Gorillaz featuring James Murphy & Andre 3000 - 'Do Ya Thing' (Full 13 Minute Explicit Version) The four minute version of 'Do Ya Thing' is actually an edit of the song - the full version is set to be available on http://gorillaz.com/ on March 3rd, but it's already been leaked online. There's also an official video being released on Wednesday (the 29th) - and Gorillaz video's are usually pretty elaborate so I may add it on to this post later if it's good.
I like how this version gets rockier about four and half minutes in (and a bit spaced out near the end) but again I think Andre 3000 ruins it by shouting how he's 'the shit' endlessly - drop the 'the' and I'm tempted to agree with him. Instead of the usual 'Enjoy' I say listen if you dare... :)

SummersRadio™ New Music! Gorillaz - 'California & The Slipping Of The Sun' This is the second last track on the Gorillaz new 15 song album called 'The Fall' and was recorded in Oakland. Apparently there are plans for a physical release although no date has been set thus far. I'm not sure if this would be a wise decision as a lot of it sounds unfinished - more like a collection of demos than a proper album. I like this song as it starts out quite ambient and gets more dancey towards the end - but even still it seems to end too quickly. You can decide for yourself and check out the entire album from their official website here: http://thefall.gorillaz.com/ Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Gorillaz - 'Aspen Forest' Gorillaz released their new album called 'The Fall' on Christmas day! It was recorded on the North American leg of their 'Escape To Plastic Beach World Tour' which started Oct. 3rd in Montreal and wrapped up here in Vancouver on Nov. 3rd. It has been released 'free' to fans - meaning that you can download it legally for free if you're a member of their official fan club - but you must pay to be a member! It was recorded using an iPad - along with a number of additional instruments. This instrumental number called 'Aspen Forest' was partially written in Santa Fe and then finished here in Vancouver... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ Best Of 2010! Gorillaz - 'On Melancholy Hill' (Japanese Popstars Remix) Damon Albarn's musical project Gorillaz released their third studio album called 'Plastic Beach' in March. While it hasn't sprouted any big hits like 'Dare' or 'Feel Good Inc.' this version of 'On Melancholy Hill' by Northern Ireland's Japanese Popstars released in July ranks among the years finest remixes for me... Enjoy!
