This Donald Trump protest song was dropped by Gorillaz on January 19, 2017, 24 hours before the inauguration of the new president. The track explores themes of money, power, and Trump's version of the American Dream.
According to Murdoc, the bassist for the animated band, the song was put out just in time for Trump's inauguration and serves as an official protest cut. "In these dark times, we all need someone to look up to," he said. "That's why I'm giving you this new Gorillaz song, a lighting bolt of truth in a black night. You're welcome."
Gorillaz teamed up with Benjamin Clementine for the cut. The London-born singer-songwriter's At Least For Now LP won the 2015 Mercury Music prize, an annual prize awarded for the best album from the United Kingdom and Ireland.
