I was able to catch a screening of the new Gorillaz documentary Reject False Icons tonight and enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm admittedly biased due to being a huge Damon Albarn fan, but it was just a fun experience all around. It chronicles the recording and touring of Humanz and The Now Now and I feel like the biggest theme was the power of collaborating with other artists. Humanz infamously received criticism for its massive guest list and a lack of Damon but when you see the joy of it coming together in the studio and the power of it coming alive on stage, I feel like a lot of the album's detractors might soften up to a bit when they see the passion that was poured into it by all of these artists coming together. The tributes to Ibrahim Ferrer and Bobby Womack were very emotional and there's a moment between Damon and Jamie Hewlett (the artist behind Gorillaz) on stage near the end of the film that made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
