[news] Gorillaz - Plastic Beach Release Date

Gorillaz set to release Plastic Beach on March 9

Apart from headlining Coachella this year (April 19), the Gorillaz have also announced that their much anticipated third album Plastic Beach will hit shelves this March. The album's first single, "Stylo" (which reminds me of the Bee Gees) will officially drop on January 26, but you can hear it now over at Plastic Beach HQ. The track listing looks pretty amazing when you take into account all the collaborations and featured artists who took part in the making of this album (don't forget Alan Moore). Of note, Mos Def, Snoop Dog, Lou Reed, Mick Jones & Paul Simonon (The Clash), De La Soul, the list goes on.
