Gorillaz members’ Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s new viral video ushers in new album. The video is a recreation of the Chinese folk tale Journey to the West. While primarily created for the BBC’s 2008 Summer Olympics marketing campaign, the video also coincides with the announcement of a new long playing release from the Gorillaz duo. It should come as no surprise that the video is a harbinger of more to come from the creative juggernaut that is Damon Albarn.
Celebrity Buzz Lohan is at work on a third album that includes collaborations with Snoop Dog, Pharrell and Timbaland. Whether this is a desperate attempt to find a way to create revenue for the un-insurable actress or just a contractual obligation, the album is bound to be a guilty pleasure. I’m hoping she draws some influence from that mix-tape Devendra Banhart made her.
