Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Gorillaz Releases New EP “Meanwhile”: Streaming
British virtual band Gorillaz has surprise-released a new 3-track EP “Meanwhile” to celebrate Carnival and West London.
The EP features guest appearances from Barrington Levy, Jelani Blackman, AJ Tracey and Alicai Harley.
Earlier this month, the band first performed three songs from the EP at The O2 for a full house of NHS staff and their families as a thank you for their work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
And the EP serves as an homage to the Notting Hill Carnival, which is an annual festival in Notting Hill, London.
The band actually made their first live outing at the 2000 Carnival, performing “Clint Eastwood” at the Middle Row Records Soundsystem in Meanwhile Gardens.
Gorillaz frontman 2D said, “Meanwhile Gardens are just round the corner from Memory Lane. If you get to Crawley you've gone too far.”- source : Apple Music
