Gorillaz New Album To Feature Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed, Barry Gibb

Damon Albarn has revealed that rapper Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed and Barry Gibb will all feature on the new Gorillaz album.

The singer said the record, entitled 'Plastic Beach', was a “pop record” with orchestral elements.

“I did loads of orchestral stuff with the Syrian National Orchestra and managed to get bits of all of them on the record, but essentially I'm trying to make a pop record so it can't be totally orchestral," Albarn said.

In an interview with The Guardian, the singer also confirmed that Bobby Womack and Mos Def would feature on the album.

It will also include previously announced collaborators The Horrors.

'Plastic Beach' is expected in 2010 and will be Gorillaz first full studio album since 2005's 'Demon Days'.
