Does anyone have any more details about this collaboration between Sparks and Gorillaz?
Apparently there's a video somewhere out there but it seems to be blocked for copyright reasons or something like that...... |

The new Gorillaz album is all collaborations and Sparks are one of those collaborations …I’d say it was blocked as it was a live surprise performance…as a precursor to the album release.
I wonder if Sparks will be cartoonified a la Gorillaz style if there is a video?
Someone (Brightonian I think) pointed out that if Sparks collaborated with Blur would they, taking a lead from FFS, call themselves …

I'm intrigued by the concert also....apparently the 4th night of House of Kong was a concert that was filmed....(no mobile phones were allowed into the venue) and a lot of guest appearances...including Johnny Marr and Sparks!
No doubt all will be revealed soon.......
(On the plus side, the forum seems to have recovered....🥳) |

I heard it on Thursday, the sound was absolute rubbish but the song was great.
Let's hope we'll get a proper recording of that track soon! |
