I'm excited for the Gorillaz comeback.

- I wish I was this creative. (chuckling)

I write songs about breakups.

- (FBE) So before we get into their older work,

we're going to show you some new music.

They don't have official music videos released yet,

but they have videos to accompany the audio.

- Okay.

- I like that idea.

It's like they make their own visualizer for their song.

- ♪ We got the power to be loving each other ♪

♪ No matter what happens ♪

- This is the same band?

It goes along with the video.

- ♪ We got the power for that ♪

♪ We got the power to do that ♪

- That sounded so different from the other song.

- I could see myself driving on the highway now,

listening to it.

- They mixed it a little bit with sounds right now,

a little poppish, but I still like it.

It's still their voice.

- One of the greatest things that defines Gorillaz

is that, ironically, they are not defined by a genre.

They can make so-- they do make so much different music,

you know, and no song is alike.

They're working with a lot of artists that I enjoy.

I have been waiting for a long time.

♪ Yeah, I'll make all manageable ♪

- A classic song. Like, classic song.

I totally know it, but I can't think of the name.

- I really like the real gritty look of each character, you know,

and the fact that they each have their own kind of personality

and what they do in the music is so sick.

- ♪ The world is spinning too fast ♪

♪ And I'm buying Nike shoes ♪

♪ To keep myself tethered ♪

♪ To the days... ♪

- I don't know this song.

This is a new one for me.

(tires screeching) - ♪...slow down ♪

♪ You must make your own shoes ♪ (tire screeching)

- I want to know what they look like.

- I want to know what they look like,

instead of these little characters.

- Have they shown their faces on newer concerts?

No, I don't think so, right?

- I think I'm enjoying the animation more than the actual music.

- I've always loved their graphics in their videos.

No one else does anything like this.

♪ (song concluding) ♪

- So sick!

Gorillaz has really paved the way for those kind of voices

without a person behind it.

- ♪ You've got to press it... ♪

- Oh my gosh! I know this song.

- This is Gorillaz?

I had no idea!

♪ (funky music) ♪

♪ Hold it down ♪

♪ Dare ♪

- That just makes you want to dance.

That's exactly how I feel on the inside.

so I just get into the mood.

- ♪ Jump back and forth ♪

♪ And feel like you were there... ♪

- A real person.

- ♪ Work it out ♪

♪ (funky beat) ♪

- They did the DJ music before it was DJ music.

- I like that and the video they mixed the animation with,

like a real life person.

- All right, come on, you got Feel Good Inc.

- ♪ Windmill, windmill for the land ♪

- Oh my god.

I'm sure everyone right now is going,

"Oh my god! I know that song!"

- Oh my gosh. I love this song.

- This is the song that everyone talks about.

- Maybe the first song every Gorillaz fan has heard.

- (singing along) ♪ Take it all in on your stride ♪

♪ Love forever, love is... ♪

- Like, this is music you listen to when you're driving down the highway

between their old music and their new music.

- ♪ It's my chocolate attack ♪

♪ Shoot, I'm steppin' in the heart of this here ♪

- ♪ Watch me as I gravitate ♪ (laughing)

- I want my Gorillaz rendition.

I want someone to draw me as part of the Gorillaz.

- ♪ Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it ♪

- That song's so good.

I want to listen to that on my way home now.

Every song is so different.

They have one that sounds like a RnB,

and another one sounds like poppy boy band.

- I'm going to probably go home on Spotify and listen to them now.

- They're working with so many of my new favorite artists,

so it's really sick to have Gorillaz, who are so [bleep] awesome

from when I was a kid, to now... now be even better.

- (FBE) So this was Gorillaz. - Oh my god!

Oh, my friends are going to be so mad at me.

- (FBE) Who are well-known for not being an actual band,

but a virtual band. - A virtual band?

Is it like Hatsune Miku type of deal? - (FBE) Kind of.

- Oh really?

- (FBE) So the band consists of two permanent members,

one who does the music, and one who does the visuals

as well as other artists and musicians who contribute to the band.

But they said the reason they wanted to create a virtual band

was to comment on the lack of substance within popular music.

- I was not aware of that. That's so amazing.

That's like a true artist.

- Their band seems more of like a collective.

It sounds like they consider the person that visualizes

all of this digitally like a part of their group.

- (FBE) What do you think about them being a virtual band like this

for over 20 years?

- It's just like with anything that you're trying to sell.

It has to be different.

So that was their thing that made them different.

- I actually love it.

There's mystery behind it.

- That's so innovative on their part

because you're able to always change what you're doing

because you have so many people working on something.

- It forces the audience to focus more on the music
