It emerged from an entirely new creative concept for the band: rather than a conventional album recorded in sequence, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett launched Song Machine as an ongoing episodic series — releasing new tracks as individual episodes throughout 2020, each one built around a specific guest collaboration, before collecting the debut season as a standalone LP. The result is one of Gorillaz' most exhilarating and eclectic records, drawing freely across genres and continents with a lightness and spontaneity that the format naturally encouraged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collaborators across Season One are as varied as any Gorillaz project: \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Smith\u003c\/strong\u003e of The Cure brings his unmistakeable presence to the gothic sweep of \u003cstrong\u003e\"MLS\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBeck\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eOctavian\u003c\/strong\u003e feature on the gleaming \u003cstrong\u003e\"The Valley of the Pagans\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eSlaves\u003c\/strong\u003e bring punk energy to \u003cstrong\u003e\"Momentary Bliss\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eSt. Vincent\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eLeee John\u003c\/strong\u003e appear on the soulful \u003cstrong\u003e\"Chalk Tablet Towers\"\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eTony Allen\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSkepta\u003c\/strong\u003e contribute to \u003cstrong\u003e\"Désolé\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the album's most celebrated moments — a quietly devastating Afrobeat-influenced track that Allen recorded shortly before his death in April 2020.
