The Gorillaz have confirmed that their next album 2025 will be released. With regard to the new publication and his new opera “The Magic Flute II: La Malédiction”, which had just had her debut, he stated: “A opera and a new Gorillaz album seem to be enough for 2025! Unless someone accuses me of taking my foot off the gas!”
In conversation with the French news page “Les inrockuptibles” Damon Albarn told that he is currently “completing a new Gorillaz album”, which is scheduled to be released this year. The publication of the album was also confirmed by Gorillaz illustrator Jamie Hewlett. How “Consquence” reports that this replied on the fan side “Everythingillaz” at a request: “Yes, the new album comes out this year.”

However, it is not yet known when the album will appear and what it should be called. Just so much: it’s almost finished. This will be the first publication of the Gorillaz since Cracker Island from February 2023. But there was already rumors about a new album when Damon Albarn was still busy with Blur’s comeback.
He already indicated that he was ready to concentrate on the animation project again. In December he told “Les Inrockuptibles” of common Gorillaz plans-he flew to India with Jamie Hewlett to work on a new Gorillaz album.
With Blur on tour and protest against the government
Just a few months after the publication of Cracker Island, the musician met again with Blur to publish their ninth album The Ballad of Darren. Then they went on tour and finally appeared at the Coachella 2024. At that time it was indicated that this would also be her last appearance.
Damon Albarn also recently worked with 1,000 other artists: Inside on the Silent album is that what we want?. The record wants to be understood as a protest – against the changes in copyright proposed by the British government. These would allow AI companies to train their models with copyrighted works without a license. Albarn and other artists assume that artists are financially and artistically disadvantaged.
