Gorillaz love Stevie
NME, June 2010
If Stevie Wonder wasn't playing his own headline set, Gorillaz would probably have nabbed him as a special guest for theirs.
Wonderfan Murdoc picks his favourite cuts from the legend...
1. The Tears Of A Clown
"Music written by Stevie Wonder, lyrics written and performed by Smokey Robinson, listened by me. A stone-cold classic."
2. Boogie On Reggae Woman
"Fat, throbbing bass and relentless rhythm. I like to boodie on reggae women. This song sums up how I feel."
3. Living For The City
"Stuck out here on Plastic Beach, this summer anthem makes me want to haul ass back to the smoke. And I've never even used the phrase 'haul asss' before."
4. Master Blaster (Jammin')
"Stevie's tribute to Bob Marley. Some beautiful rhythm runs in this one."
5. Uptight (Everything's Alright)
"Still an explosion of magic in this one from 1966. Sunshine set to music."
