Some five years in the making, The Good, the Bad & the Queen sees Albarn again teaming up with producer of the moment Brian “Dangermouse” Burton, and assembling a ‘supergroup’ featuring ex-Clash bass hero Paul Simonon, incomparable Afrobeat pioneer and Fela Kuti drummer Tony Allen, and Albarn’s recent side-man Simon Tong (The Verve, Gorillaz). Even more so than the last Gorillaz album and the interesting but patchy Mali Music, The Good, the Bad & the Queen is a record swathed in musicality and soul — and is unquestionably the most assured and coherent project Albarn has ever been involved with.
