Damon Albarn has confirmed that he recently "recorded a Gorillaz song with Bad Bunny" while in Jamaica.

Following the release of Gorillaz's Meanwhile EP last month featuring collaborations with AJ Tracey, Jelani Blackman and Alicaì Harley, Damon Albarn has revealed in a new interview with Warp that he recently worked on a new track with Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny.

Albarn said, "What I love about Gorillaz is that I can bring anyone I want, you know? I was in Jamaica recently and recorded a Gorillaz song with Bad Bunny, that's something exciting for next year."

He added, "Bad Bunny is the first single, it is the first song I have made from this new project. I still don't know when it will come out, or how we are going to launch it, but we finished it and it is… yes, more or less a reggaeton song. It's Bad Bunny meets Gorillaz."

Albarn said of working with Bad Bunny, "It was fantastic to work with him, he's a very talented guy."

As well as working on new Gorillaz material, Damon Albarn will release his new solo album The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows via Transgressive Records on 12 November, and it's available to pre-order now.
