By Stephen Dobrinich Saying Bobby Womack has got soul is like saying Jordan is going to post big numbers if you put Ehlo on him in single coverage. See game 5 in the first round of the 1989 NBA playoffs. In the spirit of His Airness, Bobby brings it on 'Please Forgive My Heart' the first track released from his upcoming Damon Albarn co-produced album 'The Bravest Man in the Universe.' So whether you're cooling it at home, or you're getting set [...]

First taste of The Bravest Man in the Universe .

How about some broken-hearted soul for your evening (or morning, or afternoon  or night), from the legendary Bobby Womack. He has a new record, The Bravest Man In The Universe , out in June and there is a lot to be excited about. Firstly, it was produced by Damon Albarn and Richard Russell (head of super-label) XL Recordings, secondly it's his first full record of new material since 1994, thirdly it features Lana Del Rey (yes this fantastically experienced musician must think she's alright) and finally "Please Forgive My Heart", which is our first taste [...]

An attempt to illustrate just how occupied Damon Albarn is, if somewhat indirectly: Although an industry prominent figure since the 1970s, the impassioned soul singer Bobby Womack was experiencing a career drought until Gorillaz resurrected his career by offering him a slot as the most frenzied vocal interlude of recent times. This is no hyperbole, since after singing the take you hear in the final version of 'Stylo' , Bobby passed out. 'Nuff said. In a similarly forward-thinking fashion to his innovative production work with [...]

By far, the stand out performer on the newest Gorillaz album, Plastic Beach , was Bobby Womack. His vocal stylings on "Stylo" immediately made the track memorable and made you want to sing soul at the same time. So it makes sense that Womack and Gorillaz mastermind Damon Albarn would get together and work on an album together. Womack's new album, The Bravest Man In The Universe , is out on June 12th and was produced by Albarn. Down below you can sample what the album will sound like. [...]

Bobby Womack is a late-'60s/early-'70s soul legend with a crazy number of gritty classics to his name. In the past few years, he's guested on tracks from the Gorillaz' Plastic Beach and The Fall , and he's toured with the group. And now Womack is about to come out with a new solo album called The Bravest Man In The Universe , his first studio effort since a 2000 Christmas joint. Gorillaz leader Damon Albarn and XL Records boss Richard Russell are both serving as producers, and first single "Please Forgive My Heart" is the sort [...]

The gangsta Nancy Sinatra reveals she hit the studio with Richard Russell, Damon Albarn and Bobby Womack.

Some acts might think collaboratng with Gorillaz/Blur head Damon Albarn would be worth making a big deal out of. But for up and coming songbird Lana Del Rey , the honor is reserved to a  simple tweet from earlier this afteroon . In the aforementioned message, Del Rey wrote, "Love the song I've done w Richard Russell, Damon Albarn and Bobby Womack." She may be cavalier, but we're anxiously awaiting the release of that effort; as always, stay tuned. In the meantime, check out Del Rey's late-night TV debut on Later... with Jools Holland [...]

By now you know who Lana Del Rey is, and you've probably made up your opinion as to whether you love her or hate her, but this piece of news has the potential to bring around the haters (and make the lovers even more excited for more material). Lana Del Rey has dropped a minor bombshell on twitter thusly: Love the song I've done w Richard Russell, Damon Albarn and Bobby Womack. 21 minutes ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® [...]

Friday morning I woke and, like Red at the end of The Shawshank Redemption , was so excited, I could barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. Not only did I have a rare weekday off work - and one that wasn't about to be carved up by errands - but the day coincided with the opening of Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes . As a child of the '70s, I've noted the hold that the films based on Pierre Boulle's novel Planet Of The Apes had on [...]

Something of an audio diary to Albarn's trudge across the stars and stripes of yesteryear, The Fall is far from a fully-formed LP, and it's all the better for it. Aurally akin to the endlessly intriguing, scattily cobbled G Sides of 2001 and recorded exclusively on his iPad, The Fall is Albarn. Albarn is here Gorillaz . And Albarn, again in the realm of the Democrazy-era experimental, a darker realm than those stumbled through on the bedazzling Plastic Beach, is seemingly in a pressure-free environment. Initially issued as a fan club Christmas download (and dare I say it the [...]

"Finally someone let me out of my cage, now time for me is nothing cuz' I'm counting no age." Introduced to Gorillaz during my junior high school years I have enjoyed seeing their progression from their self-titled album to their latest, The Fall . What originally had me hooked to this group was its Alternative Hip-hop feel as it went through songs such as "Clint Eastwood" and "Rock the House," both of them featuring the amazing flow of Del tha Funkee Homosapien. You also had classics like "19-20003 that left you wondering what exactly was the catchy saying Noodle [...]
