A big name like Tame Impala joining the band for a song got me&nbsp;extremely excited&nbsp;so I walked in and had&nbsp;grand expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The song starts off with a quick ambient build with synths, bass and drums then it quickly transfers to the chorus with the vocals of Tame Impala. This is not necessarily&nbsp;a terrible thing&nbsp;as he has wonderful vocals and is a talented individual but when he only sings a repeat chorus and nothing else it makes me want so much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the chorus comes&nbsp;Bootie Brown\u2019s first verse which I believe helps save the song. Lyrically the song is fun, it has many jabs to Twitter drama calling them a revolving door of jokes as well as other lyrics that kind of seem&nbsp;unexpected like talking about a grandma getting surgery for her girls&#8217; night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&nbsp;is important to have fun while creating, so being able to make&nbsp;good&nbsp;instrumentals&nbsp;that can be paired with over-the-top lyrics add some sort of charm that I do enjoy. Aside from the lyrics Bootie Brown performs&nbsp;well. I like how he flows with the song and I don\u2019t feel like he fell behind or that he didn\u2019t fit the song at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is&nbsp;a&nbsp;highlight that makes me want to keep the song playing and one that makes me want to keep moving my head to the rhythm. Lastly are the instrumentals that&nbsp;go with the song. New Gold is a great dance song that has a great beat, amazing players and is just mind blowing from start to finish. I always love listening to basslines in music and New Gold has that element that just makes me smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the song was released on Aug. 31, it came out with a visualizer on YouTube that made it better. From the Golden Xanax to the characters flying through the screen, it helped me listen and&nbsp;bump&nbsp;up the score on the song. New Gold is a very five-out-of-10&nbsp;song, and I am still excited for what is to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gorillaz drop a new single The more I listen to the new Gorillaz track, \u201cNew Gold,\u201d&nbsp;the more dissatisfied I start to feel.
