Video: Gorillaz - "DoYaThing"

Here is the much hyped new video "DoYaThing" by the Gorillaz, starring James Murphy & Andre 3000.  It carries on in the usual Gorillaz style, using the artwork of Jamie Hewlett (Tank Girl) this time in 3D.

To be honest, the video is actually kind of boring and the song isn't really integrated into it that well.  That is fine because the song is pretty boring as well.  The 3 sets of musicians attached to this song have been out of the main stage for a bit and it kind of feels like a quicky attempt to jump back in.  I prefer the 2D design and look that Hewlett and the Gorillaz had established but do like the attempt to try something new and envision it in a 3D realistic world.

Watch: Making of the Gorillaz x Andre 3000 x James Murphy music video for 'DoYaThing'

We were all extremely excited when it was announced that the next "Three Artists. One Song" project for Converse would involve the Gorillaz, Andre 3000 and James Murphy.  This trio follows the success of the previous such project which brought together Vampire Weekend, Kid Cudi and Best Coast. The collaborative track is called "Do Ya Thing" and you can listen to a large chunk of it below as well as watch the making of the music video.  


Gorillaz are also designing a collection of kicks for Converse with four variations on the classic Chuck Taylor All Star sneaker.
