\n\tGorillaz<\/a> embark on yet another globetrotting adventure on \u201cDamascus,\u201d the animated outfit\u2019s new single with Yasiin Bey<\/a> (formerly Mos Def<\/a>) and celebrated Syrian singer Omar Souleyman<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cDamascus\u201d gets off to a heady start with a lazy, atmospheric intro, but the pace quickly jumps a few gears with rumbling drums and spirited synth stabs. Bey takes lead vocal duties, delivering fleet-footed lines \u2014 \u201cHere to navigate the waves in the dark, no map\/Stars in the heavens and a breeze on my back\u201d \u2014 while Souleyman punctuates his verses with devotional bars dedicated to a loved one (\u201cNo, my first love\/If you were dirt I wouldn\u2019t step on you,\u201d goes one line, translated from Arabic).\u00a0<\/p>\n
