Hallelujah Money has so far divided fans.
Gorillaz have finally unveiled new material – with the Donald Trump protest song ‘Hallelujah Money’ featuring vocals by Benjamin Clementine. Check out the video and lyrics below.
Damon Albarn’s virtual band have teamed up with the 2015 Mercury Prize-winning singer, Clementine, to mark the upcoming inauguration with “a song which explores themes of power, big business and humanity”.
“In these dark times, we all need someone to look up to. Me,” said bassist Murdoc Niccals. “That’s why I’m giving you this new Gorillaz song, a lightning bolt of truth in a black night. You’re welcome. Now piss on! The new album’s not gonna write itself.”

The video features Clementine performing in front of Trump-esque gold elevator, while images of native African dancers, the La Candelaria brotherhood in Spain and a number of other cultures appear behind him, as well as silhouettes of Gorillaz themselves and a brief cameo from SpongeBob Squarepants.
