Gorillaz Unveil Seven-Minute Track ‘The Manifesto’

Gorillaz have shared new single “The Manifesto,” taken from their upcoming album, The Mountain, which arrives March 20, 2026.

The seven-minute track “carries the album’s themes of the cycle of life and the afterlife,” according to a press release. The song features the Argentine rapper Trueno, along with a posthumous appearance from late Detroit rapper and Eminem associate, Proof. His verse comes from a freestyle that was recorded minutes before he entered the booth during an early recording session.

Additional contributions to “The Manifesto” come from sarod players Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash, the legendary Jea Band Jaipur, Ajay Prasanna on bansuri, and The Mountain Choir led by Vijayaa Shanker. Stream the song below.
