Stylo (song)

"Stylo" is a song by British virtual band Gorillaz, featuring vocals from Mos Def and Bobby Womack. It was released as the lead single from their third studio album, Plastic Beach, on January 26, 2010.

The song is characterized by its driving electronic beat, layered synths, and Womack's soulful, blues-influenced vocals, contrasted by Mos Def's rap verses. "Stylo" thematically explores themes of environmental destruction, technology, and the search for truth in a chaotic world, aligning with the overall concept of Plastic Beach.

The title "Stylo" is believed to be a play on words, referencing both the stylus used in electronic music production and potentially the act of writing or creating.

The music video for "Stylo" features Bruce Willis in a high-speed chase scene involving the Gorillaz band members in a modified 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. The video's visuals further enhance the dystopian, post-apocalyptic themes present in the song and the album.

"Stylo" was well-received by critics and was commercially successful, charting in numerous countries. It remains one of Gorillaz's most popular and recognizable songs.
