This is an educational Vocal Coach analysis of Gorillaz and their iconic 2005 hit “Feel Good Inc.” Created by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, featuring the iconic rap from De La Soul. It’s a track which you don’t immediately associate with vocal brilliance, but once you did deeper, you see they’re formed with incredible intention to shape mood and tell a dark story.
We explore the key vocal choices that define the track, from the menacing laugh and breathy, fragile tones to soft consonants, vocal fry and hypnotic repetition. The contrast between 2-D’s vocals as he explores the world against the confident rap. We also cover shifts in a brilliant production design that create a dark, immersive soundscape that feels both unsettling and addictive.
