"I can't quite believe I can still hit the falsetto. That first record has a crazy amount of falsetto... definitely related to the drugs I was taking,"
"I was a much more irresponsible human being. I was hitting some notes I really didn't think coming back I'd be able to hit again."
Damon Albarn attributed the falsetto-heavy vocals on Gorillaz's 2001 debut largely to drug use while noting he can still reach those notes. Quitting smoking about a year and a half ago has improved his ability to hit higher tones. Albarn and Jamie Hewlett rehearsed arrangements to perform the debut album in full during a four-night residency at London's Copper Box Arena for the 'House of Kong' exhibition. The residency included hits like "Clint Eastwood," deeper cuts and first-time live performances, and celebrates Gorillaz's 25th anniversary through September 8. The duo plan to focus on new music after the exhibition.
