The Singles Collection (2001-2011)

iTunes Review

A music-meets-art conceptual project headed by Damon Albarn and comic book artist Jamie Hewlett, Gorillaz fuse multiple genres and bring them to life via four animated bandmates (2D, Noodle, Murdoc Niccals, and Russel Hobbs) and an elaborate, theatrical stage show. Over the course of 10 years, they've released four full-length albums, sold more than 15 million units, and collaborated with an extraordinarily diverse group of artists across multiple styles and generations. This collection includes all their hit singles, as well as several rare or unreleased remixes. Though Gorillaz' eccentric, beat-driven music is difficult to fully describe, it’s always compelling, especially on tracks with Hieroglyphics patriarch Del the Funky Homosapien ("Clint Eastwood"), golden-era icons De La Soul ("Feel Good Inc."), one-hit wonder Neneh Cherry ("Kids with Guns"), and soul legend Bobby Womack ("Stylo", also featuring Mos Def).
