The Now Now is the sixth studio album by the British virtual band Gorillaz, released on June 29, 2018. The album marks a departure from the collaborative-heavy style of their previous album, Humanz, featuring fewer guest artists and a stronger focus on the band's core sound.
The album features 11 tracks, including singles like Humility, which features jazz guitarist George Benson and was accompanied by a music video starring Jack Black. The Now Now was produced by James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco and Remi Kabaka Jr., along with Gorillaz co-creator Damon Albarn.
The album is characterized by its synth-pop and funk influences, creating a more streamlined and cohesive sound compared to the eclectic Humanz. It was recorded in February 2018 during the North American leg of the Humanz Tour. The album received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its concise nature and melodic approach.
It debuted at number four on the UK Albums Chart and number five on the US Billboard 200. The Now Now is noted for its introspective lyrics and more personal themes, reflecting Albarn's experiences and emotions during its creation. The album explores themes of loneliness, self-reflection and escapism, set against upbeat and catchy musical backdrops.
