No pain. The world is a wonderful whisper for those who can listen, if necessary in silence.

L'ora e adesso

The Now Now - Gorillaz (2018)

La farò molto breve. Nonostante Damon Albarn mi stia piuttosto simpatico, le uniche cose che mi sono piaciute del Blur sono state Song 2 ed il video di Coffe and TV; come vi dissi già in occasione della recensione di Plastic Beach del 2010, anche l'operazione Gorillaz, simpatica nell'approccio e pure filosoficamente condivisibile, non mi ha mai convinto musicalmente. Anche a questo giro, un disco moscio in maniera quasi disturbante, travestito da funk, world music, synth-pop, vagamente soul, con canzoni dimenticabili dopo pochi minuti. Non bastano George Benson (Humility) e Snoop Dogg (Hollywood) a sollevare l'ascoltatore dalla noia. Carina Tranz.

I will do it very short. Although Damon Albarn is quite nice to me, the only things I liked about Blur were Song 2 and the Coffe and TV video; as I told you already in the 2010 Plastic Beach review, the Gorillaz operation, likeable in its approach and also philosophically shareable, has never convinced me musically. Also at this lap, a very floppy album, in an almost disturbing way, disguised as funk, world music, synth-pop, vaguely soul, with songs ready-to-be-forgettable after a few minutes. George Benson (Humility) and Snoop Dogg (Hollywood) are not enough to lift the listener from boredom. But Tranz is a cute song.
