The group also dropped a short film called _Saturnz Barz (Spirit House)_, [Entertainment Weekly](http://ew.com/music/2017/03/23/gorillaz-new-album-humanz/) reports. The film’s title song “Saturnz Barz (feat. Popcaan)” will appear on the album. This is the group’s first album since 2010, when it released _The Fall_. The new 14-track set features collaborations with Vince Staples, Jehnny Beth of Savages, D.R.A.M., Danny Brown, Benjamin Clementine, De La Soul, Grace Jones, Zebra Katz, Kelela, Mavis Staples, Pusha T, Jamie Principle, and Kali Uchis, according to _EW_. Gorillaz also released another song called [“Hallelujah Money”](http://ew.com/music/2017/01/19/gorillaz-hallelujah-money-inauguration/) one day before President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January. “In these dark times, we all need someone to look up to. Me. That’s why I’m giving you this new Gorillaz song, a lightning bolt of truth in a black night. You’re welcome. Now piss on! The new album’s not gonna write itself,” the group’s animated bassist Murdoc Niccals, said at the time, according to _EW_. Gorillaz will play their full new album in London on Friday before releasing it to the public on April 28. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4711908/gorillaz-new-album-humanz/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4711908/gorillaz-new-album-humanz/"},"headline":"Gorillaz Will Release a New Album in April","datePublished":"2017-03-23T23:26:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T10:49:45.757Z","description":"The album is called \"Humanz\"","url":"https://time.com/4711908/gorillaz-new-album-humanz/","keywords":["Music","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt83c678f67dc957b1/6988bfb997cdff3daa6aff01/gorillaz-virtual-band-album-release.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Abigail Abrams","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/abigail-abrams/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt83c678f67dc957b1/6988bfb997cdff3daa6aff01/gorillaz-virtual-band-album-release.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Gorillaz Perform In Perth - December 6, 2010","caption":"The Gorillaz performs on stage at The Burswood Dome on Dec. 6, 2010 in Perth, Australia.","creditText":"Matt Jelonek—WireImage/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4711908/gorillaz-new-album-humanz/","name":"Gorillaz Will Release a New Album in April"}}]}] ```
