About a month ago, Damon Albarn's pet-project-turned-international-phenomenon Gorillaz released the first single from their highly anticipated 3rd LP, Plastic Beach. The track, "Stylo," features the vocal stylings of classic soul singer Bobby Womack, and a understated flow from Mos Def towards the end. I was immediately hooked, and quickly added PB to my list of 2010's must have albums. With less than a week until the full album's release, Gorillaz have posted the official music video for "Stylo" through their official YouTube page. The video finds artist Jamie Hewlett, best know for his imagining of Tank Girl many years back, bringing his characters Noodle, 2D and Murdoc into the real world for a high speed chase through the desert. Obviously on the run, the cartoons speed past a doughnut-induced officer before meeting their match in a 45-toting 327 El Camino driving Bruce Willis. Great song, even better video – check it out on the Gorillaz' official YouTube page.

For those who can't wait a week until they pick up their fresh copies of Plastic Beach, you can head over to NPR right now and stream the album in its entirety. I'm about half way through, and am already in love. Excellent contributions from Lou Reed, Snoop Dogg, De La Soul, Mos Def and Bobby Womack are only the cherry on top of this masterful piece of work. I can't wait to hear the second half!
