Just when it was looking like we’d maybe heard the last of Gorillaz for the time being, now that Damon Albarn is back in action with his old Blur bandmates, along comes news of “DoYaThing”, a new track from the virtual act that Converse is offering up via it’s Three Artists, One Song series. The other artists involved: Andre 3000 and James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. A press release notes that Gorillaz co-founder Jamie Hewlett collaborated with Converse on four different designs for the shoe company’s spring line, which “combine the iconic Chuck Taylor All Star silhouette with the band’s legendary graphic images.”

And as for “DoYaThing”, the artist-packed tune will be be available for download at www.converse.com on February 23. Two days before that, Albarn and Blur will be feted with the Outstanding Contribution To Music award at this year’s BRITs.
