Gorillaz Mexico pointed us to youtube vids that ripped the audio from Plastic Beach samples from songs that Murdoc “leaked”on his BBC hijack show. The said songs are “Rhinestone Eyes” and “Sweepstakes”.
They are short samples, but give us a decent idea about what the songs are going to be like. These are not as poppy as their stuff from Demon Days, that is pretty apparent. “Sweepstakes” features Mos Def and seems like a very dark Mos Def song, rather than a Gorillaz song. “Rhinestone Eyes” seems more like the old Gorillaz that we are used to. It sounds pretty mysterious and I like it. I think it can take off to a pretty stellar track!
Check it out for yourself via these video clips! :

The good people at a radiohead forum posted the 3 radio shows that Murdoc did with the samples of new songs, plus some other hand selected songs. Download them, below:

Plastic Beach comes out on March 3rd. It’s sneaking up on us, isn’t it? It’s not that far away!
