[Spoken Word: 2-D & Fatouma Diawarata]
Hello
Hello, Fatou
How are you?
I apologize, uh, I-I don't speak too much French
And I gotta say this song we made, "Désolé" (Mhm)
It's a really good tune
Did you enjoy making the song?
Yes, I loved
When we're working, it's not working
It's just like, friends (Yeah), and having fun together
And this is very important, you know
Well, that's what it's all about
Yeah, it was amazing
Well, I really look forward to seeing you again because I think you are the most fun person I've met this year
Oh, thank you, au revoir
Bye, bye

Gorillaz

Gorillaz is a virtual band created by Damon Albarn of Britpop band Blur and Jamie Hewlett, co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl. The band is composed of four animated band Stuart “2D” Pot (vocals, keyboard), Murdoc Niccals (bass), Noodle (lead guitar and occasional vocals), and Russel Hobbs (drums and percussion). Murdoc was based on Keith Richards from a photo by David Bailey and 2D was based on a friend of Damon and Jamie’s.

The project began as an experiment and commentary on popular media. It was inspired by Hewlett and Albarn binge watching MTV when the two were housemates in London. Hewlett

If you watch MTV for too long, it’s a bit like hell – there’s nothing of substance there. So we got this idea for a cartoon band, something that would be a comment on that.
