In this educational Vocal Coach analysis, Beth Roars breaks down the official music video for Gorillaz’s “DARE”, from the 2005 album Demon Days. Written by Damon Albarn, Jamie Hewlett and Brian Burton, the track features Shaun Ryder’s rough, Mancunian speech-singing, Damon Albarn’s backing vocals, and Rosie Wilson (now known as Roses Gabor) singing as Noodle.
This analysis looks at how this track is all about balancing messiness and control: Shaun’s uninhibited, characterful vocals and spoken delivery, grounded with Rosie’s melodic contrast as a “safety net”. Beth that famous “it’s coming up” refrain, including its origin and why it feels so satisfying to an audience.
Find out why this track was such a hit, reaching No.1 on the UK Singles Chart in 2005 and remaining Gorillaz’s only UK No.1 single.
