Posted by LetsLoop on April 6, 2017, 5:54 pm Following the release of Hallelujah Money (featuring 2015 #MercuryPrize winner @Benjamin Clementine) back in January and four new tracks a couple of weeks ago, @Gorillaz have now shared the 6th single from their upcoming Humanz album.Let Me Out features 77-year-old gospel / rhythm and blues singer @Mavis Staples alongside hip-hop legend @Pusha T and, according to a recent interview with #ZaneLowe on his #Beats1 radio show, was written by @Damon Albarn on a two-day train journey out of NYC.
In the same interview Damon also revealed that he has another 40-50 Gorillaz songs in the pipeline, so it looks like we won't have to wait 7 years again for their next album. Or as he put it: "I can stay in the game for at least another 18 months, I reckon".
Let Me Out will be joined on the new album by the recently released Saturnz Barz featuring @Popcaan, Ascension featuring @Vince Staples, Andromeda featuring @D.R.A.M., and We Got The Power featuring @Savages's Jehnny Beth and (surprisingly, if any of you can remember the @Blur vs. @Oasis battles in the 90s) @Noel Gallagher.
The 20-track album (or 26-track if you pick up the Deluxe version) will also feature guest appearances from @Danny Brown, @De La Soul, @Kelela, @Grace Jones and more.
In addition to this new track, the band have also shared remixes of the album's most recent singles. Listen to the @Bonobo remix of Andromeda, the @Banx & Ranx remix of Saturnz Barz, the @Claptone remix of We Got The Power and the @Nic Fanciulli remix of Ascension.

Let Me Out lyrics
[Verse 1: Pusha T]
Mama Mavis, oh
Mama, they tried my patience
Obama is gone, who is left to save us?
So together we mourn, I'm praying for my neighbors
They say the devil's at work and Trump is calling favors
You say I'm dangerous, I speak for the nameless
I fly with the vultures, I be with them bangers
If change don't come, then the change won't come
If the bands make 'em dance, then the rain gon' come
(Woo!)
[Pre-Chorus: Mavis Staples]
Am I passin' into the light?
(Am I looking into mercy's eyes?) Look into your eyes
All the world is out of your hands
(Then ascending into the dark, let me out)
You got to die a little if you wanna live
Change come to pass
Change come to pass
You'd best be ready for it
[Chorus: 2-D]
Something I've begun to fear is about to change its form
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shift in time
But I won't get tired at all
[Refrain: 2-D]
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
[Verse 2: Pusha T]
Look into my eyes, mama, tell me what you see
Tell me there's a chance for me to make it off the streets
Tell me that I won't die at the hands of the police
Promise me I won't outlive my nephew and my niece
Promise me my pastor isn't lyin' as he preach
Tell me that they'll listen if it's lessons that I teach
Tell me there's a heaven in the sky where there is peace
But until then, I keep my piece in arm's reach
(Yeah!)
[Pre-Chorus: Mavis Staples]
Am I passin' into the light?
(Am I looking into mercy's eyes?)
All the world is out of your hands
(Then ascending into the dark) Another night
You got to die a little if you wanna live
Change coming
You'd best be ready for it
[Chorus: 2-D]
Something I've begun to fear is about to change its form
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shift in times
But I won't get tired at all
[Pre-Chorus: Mavis Staples]
Am I passin' into the light?
(Am I looking into mercy's eyes?)
All the world is out of your hands
(Then ascending into the dark) Another night
You got to die a little if you wanna live
Change is coming
You'd best be ready
[Outro: Mavis Staples]
Be ready, ready for it
Be ready, be ready
Oooh, oooh oooh
(Let me out)
