Gorillaz are back. After months of teasing, the British virtual band unveiled their first song in six years, “Hallelujah Money.” The collaboration with U.K. singer-songwriter Benjamin Clementine explores the themes of corruption, humanity and power and serves as our first preview of the band’s long-awaited new album. Watch it’s accompanying music video below.
Released one day before Donald Trump’s inauguration, the track is a sharp critique of the president-elect’s rhetoric and policies. The video features Clementine crooning in a lobby resembling Trump’s Tower alongside the La Candelaria brotherhood, a Spanish group that dresses in white robes similar to those of the Ku Klux Klan.
In a tweet accompanying the song’s release, Gorillaz wrote, “Dark times - u need someone to look up to. Me. Here’s a lightning bolt of truth in a black night. Now piss on! New stuff won’t write itself.”
Gorillaz are expected to release their fifth studio album later this year.
